Vertical Politics Institute
The Vertical Politics Institute (VPI) is a conservative Political Action Committee in the United States. Their mission statement reads as follows:
- The Vertical Politics Institute is dedicated to finding solutions to the many challenges our nation faces today. We will focus on the following issues: tax reform, energy independence, controlling spending, health care reform, arts and education, sanctity of life, traditional marriage, environment and national security.[1]
The creator and current chairman of VPI is former Arkansas governor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.[2]
Issues
On contemporary issues, VPI endorses renewable energy resources as well as continued drilling and excavation of fossil fuels.[3] VPI has endorsed and supported California Proposition 8, which eliminated Californians' right to same-sex marriage.[4] Their economic platform is opposed to the 2008 Wall Street bailout plan, but rather favors a free-market approach and largely blames former U.S. presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton for the mortgage meltdown and subsequent global financial crisis.[5]
