Looking towards the next Heritage president

John, My friend Jim DeMint stepped down yesterday as Heritage's president after nearly four and a half years. All of us at Heritage are tremendously grateful for his service. Jim is a past, present, and future conservative leader. He is a tremendous advocate for the conservative principles you and I both believe in. At the request of the board of trustees, I will serve as interim president until a permanent successor can be found. Over the coming months, we will press ahead on your priorities: repealing Obamacare; reforming taxes; reining in runaway government; protecting the country; and supplying the administration and conservatives in Congress with the intellectual ammunition they need to succeed. And we will conduct a thorough nationwide search for the next Heritage president. The next Heritage president must be dedicated to the principles that made America great: free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. Those aren't just words. When I was last Heritage's president, I worked with our board to ensure the organization would remain permanently committed to these ideals. To your ideals. I will continue that commitment during this time of transition. All of us at Heritage are thankful for your support and commitment. Onward! Edwin J. Feulner President The Heritage Foundation
