Paul Weyrich Bio:
Paul Weyrich first came to Washington, DC forty-two years ago, as press secretary to Senator Gordon Allott of Colorado. One of his young colleagues on the Allott staff was George Will. At a time when few dared to proclaim themselves "conservatives", Paul Weyrich took on the political establishment, and declared himself a "movement conservative". While a Senate staffer, Paul learned that Joseph Coors was looking for a way to contribute to the conservative movement. Paul proposed an independent research institute that would influence policy debates before decisions were made. It was on this basic concept, and the help of some other movement conservatives such as Lyn Nofziger and Edwin J. Feulner, that Joseph Coors funded Paul's vision and made it a reality. That is how the Heritage Foundation began. Paul went on to found numerous other conservative groups, including Coalitions for America, the Council for National Policy, the American Legislative Exchange Council and, most recently, the Free Congress Foundation. He has not only been successful in creating hubs for facilitating a continuing conservative presence in Washington, he has also been instrumental in translating conservative principles into effective legislation. With his commitment to traditional family values, he has consistently promoted a morally conscious culture. As one step in this effort, he is credited for coining the term "Moral Majority." Today, Paul writes regularly for the Washington Times and Newsmax and continues to serve as an influential voice for the conservative movement through his leadership of the Free Congress Foundation and the weekly meetings of Coalitions for America.
