Even Better -- A link to the Seven Points, a precursor to the Twelve Points

As far as I know, the Seven Points appear the same here as they would if you were to follow the link that I posted last month, but I am posting this link to 1) remind everyone that the history of the Twelve Points had unambiguously begun by 2003, not in the aftermath of John McCain's loss to Barack Obama, and is not defined by the question of who currently occupies the White House, and to 2) display the Seven Points as they appeared on Grand Old Cause's site while I was still the president of the group.  (I graduated from IU in December 2003, so I did not run for a third term in our elections that month.)

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.
