TRAINING LEADERS

Like our nation’s founders, Empower America Project believes that life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are foundational, inalienable rights to be preserved, practiced and appreciated by all. The Project trains leaders to carry on these enduring values with virtue.

THE PROJECT’S CORE POLICIES

EDUCATION REFORM

School choice is the first step in helping all American children have access to quality education.

ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY

A free market and a free people are the greatest weapons against poverty.

FREEDOM GUARANTEED

American leadership is necessary to support and extend freedom’s blessings to all people.
