The Latest News on the Twelve Points

If you were wondering whether I had been working on making changes to the website of the Twelve Points, the answer is, "Yes.  Of course.  That's why it is different, now, from the way it was a few days ago."  It is also where I have been spending my time instead of posting posts on this blog, for the past few days.  I am pleased with the way it has turned out, but please let me know what you think of the new design.

Before long, I will publish my thoughts on where the conservative movement now stands following the release of the Mount Vernon Statement.  I will also discuss how its release might affect the role of the Twelve Points as the definitive statement of conservative principles.  Finally, I have yet to publish a review of the Mount Vernon Statement, so you will see that here shortly, too.

One last thing -- Remember to tell conservatives about the Twelve Points!

The Twelve Points are a statement of conservative principles, objectives, philosophy, and additional guiding considerations, composed by Karl Born, a young Indianapolis writer and attorney, beginning in early 2008, completed on July 2, 2009.

The purpose of the Twelve Points is to serve as a delivery mechanism for distilled, concentrated conservative thinking, with the goal of returning clarity and completeness to popular conservatism, and spreading knowledge of the true principles of conservatism throughout the conservative community.

The idea for the Twelve Points, along with much of the content of the document itself, came from the "Seven Points," which was created by a group of conservative college students in 2003 at Indiana University: Grand Old Cause.

Even in light of the 2010 election results, the conservative movement has become confused and aimless. Certain essential conservative principles and considerations have faded from memory and lost their influence. The Twelve Points will help to solve this problem by reminding us of conservative thinking that we may not have considered recently, and by making that thinking available to new, developing conservatives.
