Through research, investigations, strategic litigation, testimony, advocacy, and education, the goldwater institute advances public policy and a rule of law under which individuals CAN shape their own destinies as free men and women. We help citizens understand and adopt policies that sustain and restore economic liberty, educational freedom, personal responsibility, and constitutional limits on government power consistent with the founding principles of our constitutional republic. When government oversteps its proper bounds, the goldwater institute uses public interest litigation to enforce individual rights and constraints on government power guaranteed by our state and federal constitutions.
