WASHINGTON -- The most influential conservative grassroots leaders nationwide signed the Mount Vernon statement recommitting their movement to constitutional conservatism.

"This is something that all conservatives -- those that are concerned about national security, those that are concerned about economic opportunity, those that are concerned about religious liberty and personal responsibility -- there' something here for everyone because this is simply a restatement to this generation of those enduring founding principles," said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council.

In the works since last summer, the one-page document seeks to unify conservatives in the era of Obama

The signing ceremony is took place at a library that was part of George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate. 

"For those of us striving hard every day to defend our nation's freedoms from liberalism's belief that an ever-increasing government is the cure for every care, the Mount Vernon Statement is a breath of fresh air that reminds us that constitutional conservatism need not be reinvented or poll-tested in each new election cycle," said Rep. Mike Pence, R-Ind., chairman of the House Republican Conference.


Sheesh....weren't they supposed to present their health care reform ideas to Obama???
