About

The Webster Institute is a United States policy and strategy development consortia based around the pragmatic, moderate approach of the Modern Whig movement. It is named after great American statesman and orator, Daniel Webster – a well known and beloved Whig firebrand of the Jacksonian era who fought hard against the tyranny and imperialist agendas of Martin van Buren and Andrew Jackson. Before Abraham Lincoln he was widely regarded as the greatest American political orator of all time.

We are dedicated to the development and promotion of domestic and foreign policy positions that are politically and logistically realistic, reformed and improved in all possible aspects, and following the Modern Whig philosophy.

However, the Webster Institute is committed to non-partisan, or “post-partisan,” solutions, and as such we are not formally or otherwise connected to any political party or any other organization. We are for the greatest good of the United States primarily, but also for the greatest good of the planet. The Webster Institute feels that it is the role of the United States to lead the world in the fields of science, medicine, technology, mathematics, engineering, literature, popular culture and athletics.

We accept and agree that the US should lead the world in military power, and we, as a nation, already do that many, many times over if the amount of money spent is any kind of measurement. We think the military must be scaled down and that the US should remove as many troops abroad as possible as we end major hostilities in all current military operations.

Finally, our domestic policy position in general centers on the internal improvement and progress of the United States economically, politically and culturally. We do not believe that the government should legislate morality, but cultural development should be supported and this can be easily ramped up by drastically shortening the amount of time that a dead author or corporation would be able to claim copyright protection. We also firmly believe that our country needs heavy investments in infrastructure,  and that a deficit is not as important as jump-starting our sludge-paced economy. We wonder why no one every mentions the trade deficit.

We are for good government, for the people over party, and for remaining true to the vision of the founding fathers and the great constructors of the American System – such as Henry Clay and Daniel Webster.
