"The Leadership Project for America (LPA) identifies and evaluates principled, effective leadership for the United States. America stands at a crossroads, in desperate need of political leadership to rally citizens around a vision that draws upon all that is great about this country. That vision includes free markets to unleash our competitive spirit and create economic growth and prosperity; a national security and foreign policy agenda that protects and promotes America's interests around the world; and a unique system of limited, constitutional government that protects our freedoms, encourages decency and brings out the best in all of us."
