The Sharon Statement

The Sharon Statement is a guiding document created in 1960 by students at Stanford University for the conservative student organization, Young Americans for Freedom. It outlines core beliefs emphasizing individual freedoms, limited government, free-market capitalism, and a strong national defense. The statement advocates for personal responsibility, traditional values, and a commitment to preserving constitutional principles. Essentially, it serves as a moral and philosophical blueprint for promoting conservative ideals and guiding political action aimed at maintaining individual liberty and a free society.
