The Free Congress Foundation (more formally the Free Congress Research and Education Foundation and Free Congress or FCF for short), is a conservative think tank founded by Paul Weyrich. It was based near Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. for most of its history but is now based in Alexandria, VA. After Paul Weyrich's death in 2008 the Foundation has been headed by former governor of Virginia, Jim Gilmore. Under Gilmore's leadership the Free Congress Foundation has been focused on economic issues and not social issues.

—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
“... in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquillity will return again.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
