Vertical Politics Institute
The Vertical Politics Institute is a conservative Political Action Committee in the United States. Their mission statement reads as such:
The creator and current chairman of VPI is former Arkansas governor and 2008 Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee.Issues
On contemporary issues VPI endorses renewable energy resources as well as continued drilling and excavation of fossil fuels. VPI has endorsed and supported California Proposition 8 which eliminated Californians' right to same-sex marriage. Their economic platform is opposed to the 2008 Wall Street bailout plan, but rather favors a free-market approach and largely blames former U.S. presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton for the mortgage meltdown and subsequent global financial crisis.
