Fellow Conservatives
The Republican Party of Iowa is proud to work with fellow Conservative groups across the state.
Below you will see a list of Conservative groups who are dedicated to the principles of limited government, free markets and individual liberty.

Eagle Forum’s Mission is to enable conservative and pro-family men and women to participate in the process of self-government and public policy making so that America will continue to be a land of individual liberty, respect for family integrity, public and private virtue, and private enterprise.

Americans For Fair Taxation was formed in 1995 as a 501 (c)(4) nonprofit, nonpartisan, grassroots organization solely dedicated to replacing the current tax system. It began as a research organization with the initial goal of finding out what the American people wanted in a tax system, what they felt was the best way for the government to collect revenue, and how taxation could be achieved in a way that most benefited the economy and the taxpayers. Many diverse groups of Americans participated in the extensive polling and focus group studies, and then a nonpartisan team of economists was commissioned to develop the FairTax plan. The organization today has hundreds of thousands of members and volunteers nationwide. Its plan supports sound economic research, education of citizens and community leaders, and grassroots mobilization efforts.

The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a non-partisan group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal order. It is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. The Society seeks both to promote an awareness of these principles and to further their application through its activities. You can view their webpage here, http://www.iowafedsoc.org/ .

Liberty Iowa PAC was formed with the goal of empowering liberty-minded voters in Iowa to take control of their government once again. We believe that the centrism currently enveloping the politics of our nation has resulted in an explosion of government growth, reduced freedom, and the erosion of the protections of our founding documents.

Public Interest Institute (PII) is a non-profit, non-partisan, public policy research organization located on the campus of Iowa Wesleyan College in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa. The Institute promotes the importance of a free-enterprise economic system and limited government in society based upon individual freedom and liberty.
