The Religious Right's rise in power has included ever-increasing prominence and power within the Republican Party, as this video shows using the 1992 GOP National Convention to illustrate the point. Unfortunately, that power within one of America's major political parties is still enjoyed by the Far Right today, perhaps more than ever. Watch on YouTube

Profiles of Right Wing Organizations
Right Wing organizations come in all shapes and sizes, from think tanks to legal groups, local and national lobbying organizations, foundations and media forums. At any given moment, the Right is at work in our public school systems, courthouses, in Congress and state assemblies. At the same time, right-wing groups are reaching huge audiences through media outlets they own or influence — promoting regressive policies that seek to drive wedges between and among Americans.
These often single-issue groups have the ability to create multi-issue networks that can respond on a wide range of issues. People For the American Way Foundation's library has files on over 800 groups and almost 300 individuals documenting their activities and providing information about their efforts to reshape society. This section presents a small portion of that information.
You can also read about People For the American Way's latest research and reporting on the Far Right at the Right Wing Watch blog.
