Claremont Institute

250 W. First St., Ste. 330, Claremont, CA, 91711, (909) 621-6825

A California-based think tank committed to restoring the principles of the “American Founding.” These include: limited government, traditional family values, right to private property, and civil liberties protecting individuals from government abuses. Funded by conservative foundations, including the Lynde and Harry Bradley Foundation, Sarah Scaife Foundation and the John M. Olin Foundation. Anti-gun control, arguing that “good citizens use guns wisely, and criminals misuse guns.” Anti-hate crime legislation, believing that such laws run contrary to the principles of the American Founding. The Institute worries that the American court system has become too liberal, and that we need national leaders to appoint men and women to the courts who will defend the founding principles. It is pro-death penalty and hard on crime, and it strongly supported California’s “Three Strikes” policy.
