Since 1996, the Claremont Institute has sought to promote a national ballistic missile defense system, focusing in particular on the threat to the west coast of the United States. The goal of the project is to build a cadre of informed public officials and citizens who will advance the cause of missile defense in their states, cities, and communities. It is our purpose here to advance the argument for missile defense outside of Washington, D.C. with the hope of attracting the attention of policymakers in the nation’s capital.
Our briefings and publications seek to educate key opinion leaders of the urgency of the threat, the significance of this year’s deployment, and both immediate and long-term steps that must yet be taken.
To arrange a briefing on the subject of missile defense, please contact us at (909) 621-6825.
