Quick! What's the name of this RW organization?
Here's a description of them from Wikipedia (no googling!) I've X'ed out the initials.

It claims to strenuously defend what it sees as the original intention of the U. S. Constitution. The group promotes the idea that America is founded on Christian principles (or, to be more exact, their interpretation of Christian principles), and supports a strong Christian influence in culture and government.

It is anti-leftist, particularly anti-socialist and anti-communist. The XXX has a conspiratorialist view of history. It is also anti-globalization and for immigration reform. XXX advocates the abolition of income tax, and the repeal of civil rights legislation, which it sees as being communist in inspiration. For this reason, its opponents characterize it as a racist (and perhaps quasi-fascist) society dedicated to preventing minorities from gaining political power.


Sound familiar?

12. I think you could put in "Republic Party" and that would work.
But that's probably not the answer you're looking for.
