About The California Public Policy Foundation

Since its founding in 1986, The California Public Policy Foundation, a non-profit, non-partisan, 501(c)(3), educational organization, has provided California a responsible, articulate, effective voice for conservative ideas, policies, and principles: for limited government, individual responsibility, and self-reliance; for encouraging excellence, hard work, and personal virtue. CPPF is building communications networks to unify and make more effective California’s conservative movement through its bi-monthly journal of California politics California Political Review, its weekly E-Bulletin Capitol Watch, its Internet publication CPR Online, and California Public Policy Foundation Friends organizations: President’s Club, Sacramento Club, Statesmens Club, and Basic Members.

California Political Review

“California Political Review,” says California Lt. Gov. nominee Tom McClintock, “is a great source of insider information available nowhere else on what’s really happening in Sacramento.” CPR, CPPF’s flagship publication, is read religiously six times a year by more than four thousand of California’s most influential leaders in politics, business, the professions, education, and journalism. Still California’s only conservative magazine devoted to covering state government, CPR reports the stories the major media ignore or distort. CPR breathes fresh air and balance into the state’s political debate by taking seriously the question that defines our politics (which most journalists prefer to ignore): which path best serves California, socialism or freedom? As former state Senator John R. Lewis says: “If you want to know what’s going on in California, read California Political Review.”

Capitol Watch

CPPF’s spunky, quick-reading, one-page weekly E-mail bulletin, Capitol Watch is timely, informative, and always to-the-point. As one busy business executive put it: “I pick up Capitol Watch with my Friday morning coffee and by the time I reach my desk I’ve read it — one of the best sources around for keeping on top of breaking California political news.”

CPR Online

CPPF’s daily ‘newspaper’ —www.cppf.us — CPR Online spells relief from the usual round of liberal-blinkered, left-biased reporting and commentary brought to you by the major media on critical issues of state government. Timely — quick reading — politically incorrect, for breaking news and biting commentary, CPR Online, every Monday through Friday morning, is the conservative source for Californians.

Conservative Strategy at the Governing Center

The insider’s guide to California’s conservative roadmap. CPPF hosts this annual conservative leaders’ conference in Sacramento, open to all members of CPPF support organizations (see Conservative Strategy — Sacramento 2006 for details). Luncheon speaker Tom McClintock headlines this year’s August 15 event, which also features Private Briefings with GOP Legislative Leaders and “The 2006 War Room” where top conservative strategists outline California’s political terrain, its opportunities. pitfalls, and the short- and long-term roads to liberating our Golden State.
