Cable TV overtook the broadcast TV networks as the main source of political and campaign news after 2000—and Fox News dominated cable TV.  (Excerpt 34 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

Most Americans were conservative; TV news very liberal.  That spelled opportunity for an entrepreneur like Rupert Murdoch.  (Excerpt 33 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

The TV broadcast networks have been all liberal, all the time.  C-SPAN gave the American people a direct line to Congress, bypassing the networks.  (Excerpt 32 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

The National Rifle Association is a conservative success story—and an alternative media success story, using them to stop the gun-grabbers and gun-controllers.  (Excerpt 31 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

In this excerpt from America’s Right Turn (No. 30 of 45), we offer two reasons why liberals fail on talk radio—and probably always will.

In this excerpt from America’s Right Turn (No. 29 of 45), we look at talk radio’s impact on the culture wars, and why it “worked” for candidate Bill Clinton but against his administration.

By Richard A Viguerie, CHQ Chairman

In the 1930s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt was the most powerful voice on that new medium: radio.  By the 1990s, the most powerful voice on radio was Rush Limbaugh.  In this excerpt from America’s Right Turn (No. 27 of 45), we look at how that revolution took place.

“You owe it to your philosophy to learn how to win,” says Morton Blackwell.  Here is how his Leadership Institute has trained more than 191,000 conservative activists, leaders, and students in the skills needed to win.  (Excerpt 26 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

Legislation could be passed forbidding social media from keeping anybody out, censoring anybody, excepting a very few people such as child pornographers, already against the law. Yes, I know these are private companies entitled to do anything they wish, but a line has been crossed that few ever anticipated. These entities have become the primary arenas of free expression in the world. They can exercise more control than any government. This cannot and should not be allowed to continue.

Conservatives should always be willing to learn, not only from our own experiences but also from the experiences on the Left.  We interviewed Roger Craver and found lessons that can benefit today’s conservatives.  (Excerpt 25 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

Conservatives would no longer have the use of their “secret weapon” (direct mail) to themselves.  It was no longer a secret.  (Excerpt 24 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

By stopping the Equal Rights Amendment at the last moment, Phyllis Schlafly taught conservatives that nothing is inevitable.  We can do it!  (Excerpt 23 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

Conservatives created the Religious Right in the 1970s.  Then in 1980 Ronald Reagan was elected president, thanks in large part to conservative direct mail. America had entered a new era. (Excerpt 22 of 45 from America's Right Turn.)

Democrats demanding the “deplatforming” of those whose opinions they don’t like is the 21st century equivalent of pressuring papermakers to stop selling newsprint to newspapers that criticize the King and it gives voters a deep look into the dark, totalitarian heart of the new “progressive” Democratic Party.

Leadership of the conservative movement shifted from Barry Goldwater to Ronald Reagan, and from the Old Right to the New Right, in the 1970s.  (Excerpt 21 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

Direct mail is more than fundraising—it’s also a cheaper and more efficient form of advertising than the political campaign ads you see on television. (Excerpt 20 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
Direct mail gave conservatives a voice in setting the nation’s political agenda, free of dependence on Republican bosses and big corporations.  (Excerpt 19 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
Direct mail has unique advantages for a political movement shunned and disparaged by the mainstream media, as we see in excerpt 18 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.

By Richard A. Viguerie, CHQ Chairman
We didn’t realize how much the conservative movement had grown since 1964 – and the establishment certainly had no clue – until the pivotal elections of 1978 and 1980.  (Excerpt 17 of 45 from America’s Right Turn.)
