Conservatives owe him a huge debt of gratitude for his efforts. He and three others launched the most successful Conservative Grassroots political movement in recent history. That movement helped put Reagan in the White House and later the GOP in power in both houses. Jerry is the second of the four to pass. The first too pass away was Ed McAteer. Paul Weyrich isn't in great health now, but I think Howard Phillips is.
A person didn't have to agree with him on all issues to appreciate what he helped accomplish for the Conservative movement. Rest in peace preacher. We need more like you who were not afraid to speak up and stand up for what was right. It may surprise some to know he was a DEM or was when he helped form the Moral Majority.

Paul Weyrich isn't in great health now, but I think Howard Phillips is. Phillips has his ups and downs, but he's doing a great job with the Conservative Caucus, the Conservative Roundtable, and his involvement in the Constitution Party of VA (and the national Constitution Party).
