WE'VE LOST A GREAT FRIEND

Paul Weyrich, founder of the Free Congress Foundation and first President of the Heritage Foundation, passed away today at age 66. He was one of America's foremost champions of Conservatism. Paul was also a dear friend and political mentor of mine for 20 years. MRC's Brent Bozell said it best today:

He was a man of principle who not only stood firmly on the ground of conservatism, but who took giant strides to advance and spread these values in the public square and in the hearts of countless Americans. The fruits of Paul’s labor will continue to flourish, and the words of his namesake – St. Paul of Tarsus – were never more true: Paul Weyrich fought the good fight, he finished the course, and he always kept the faith.

Our prayers go out to Paul's family. He will be greatly missed.
