The November 2004 election results were barely counted when conservative leader Richard A. Viguerie proclaimed: "Now comes the revolution! If we don't implement a conservative agenda now, when do we?" Then he added: "Make no mistake. Conservative Christians and βvalues voters' won this election for George W. Bush and Republicans in Congress. It's crucial that the Republican leadership not forget this--as much as some will try."
Viguerie's challenge to the GOP and his fellow conservatives was reported on the front page of The New York Times the very next day, and was immediately picked up by media around the world. Liberals in the U.S. sank into despair, for they knew that Viguerie was the marketing guru who established the conservative movement in the 1960s and 70s through the use of direct mail, and remains "the conservatives' Voice of America" (Washington Post) today.
Viguerie's new book, Conservatives Betrayed: How the Reuplican Party Hijacked the Conservative Cause , will lead conservatives into battle, and serve notice to the Republican Party that it must hew to the conservative line if it hopes to remain in power. For before Karl Rove, another direct marketing guru, there was Richard Viguerie; but while Rove's first loyalty is to the GOP, Viguerie's is to the conservative movement.
The book is written as a compact manifesto in easy-to-understand language, explaining what conservatives must do to preserve moral values; protect the institution of marriage; overthrow Roe v. Wade; downsize government dramatically; slash the deficits that are holding back the American economy; cut taxes; reduce waste; and protect the interests around the world of America and its allies such as Taiwan. Conservatives will buy it to get their marching orders for the coming battles and share the conservative values and issues addressed with their family and friends.
