BACKGROUND
|
The American Cornerstone Institute (ACI) was founded by world-renowned neurosurgeon and 17th Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Dr. Ben Carson. After serving our nation and the American people faithfully for four years, Dr. Carson is ensuring there is an organization fighting for the principles that have guided him through life, and that make this country great: Faith, Liberty, Community, and Life. Dr. Carson has proven through his example and policymaking that solutions guided by the principles of faith, liberty, community, and life are effective, and will point our nation toward the common good.
Throughout his life, Dr. Carson has broken through barriers and has paved major roads in our political arena, both in Washington, D.C. and in communities across the country, and he’s not stopping now. A champion for logic and common-sense solutions, Dr. Carson will always stay true to his principles and his faith, which guide ACI through this volatile time in our nation. While conservative ideas will echo through our hallways, ACI will remain a non-partisan, not-for-profit institute. ACI is committed to working with anyone on anything that advances faith, liberty, community, or life. It’s time to heal our nation. |
THE VISIONThe American Cornerstone Institute (ACI) will champion conservative solutions to the real problems our nation faces. With faith, wisdom and compassion, ACI is not afraid to challenge conventional or prevailing groupthink on key public policy questions and will push back against the lies and distortion that are often targeted toward conservative ideas. With independent research, grassroots outreach, and collaboration with state and local entities, faith-based groups, and private organizations, ACI will work to heal the divisiveness that plagues our nation's politics.

MISSION STATEMENTThe American Cornerstone Institute (ACI) is dedicated to promoting and preserving individual and religious liberty, helping our country’s most vulnerable find new hope, and developing methods to decrease the federal government’s role in society and to improve efficiency to best serve ALL our nation’s citizens. Headed by world-renowned neurosurgeon, presidential candidate, and former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson, ACI will be a voice for reason and civility in a nation that is increasingly devoid of common sense.
