James Warren DeMint (born September 2, 1951) is an American lobbyist, businessman, author, and retired politician who served as a United States Senator from South Carolina and as president of the Heritage Foundation. The Washington Post and The Christian Post have described DeMint as a "staunch conservative", based on his actions during his time in the House. Wall Street Journal editor Steve Moore called DeMint the "taxpayers' greatest ally." After being re-elected in 2010, DeMint became the highest-ranking elected official associated with the Tea Party. DeMint is a member of the Republican Party and a leading figure in the Tea Party movement; he is also the founder of the Senate Conservatives Fund. DeMint served as the United States representative for South Carolina's 4th congressional district from 1999 to 2005. He was elected to the U.S. Senate from South Carolina in 2004 and reelected in 2010. DeMint served in the Senate until January 2, 2013, when he stepped down to become president of The Heritage Foundation. On May 2, 2017, DeMint resigned his position at Heritage. He later became a senior advisor to Citizens for Self-Governance and the founding chairman of the Conservative Partnership Institute. The United States, the world's great bastion of freedom, is sliding toward socialism. Recent high-profile bailouts show the walls between government and the private sector are getting thinner each day. Federal control now extends in various ways to education, healthcare, financial markets, real estate, businesses, and religion. And as out-of-control government spending and debt increase accordingly, America is drained of the economic and political strength its people fought and worked so hard to achieve. But it isn't too late to save the land of the free. Saving Freedom is Senator Jim DeMint's firsthand account of the unsettling socialist shift--behind-the-scenes actions in Congress that are changing the character of our nation. He illuminates key principles of freedom and how they are being compromised by big government. More important, DeMint lays out a complete action plan to reclaim America's freedom based on legislation that would reduce debt, fix Social Security, and provide a tax credit for every family to buy health insurance. The plan also emphasizes reversing America's cultural decline by restoring a strong spirit of God and country. Saving Freedom is a new Declaration of Independence, a call for the American people to reclaim America. Jim DeMint's passion for the cause of individual liberty and person. "Saving Freedom is a new Declaration of Independence, a call for the American people to reclaim America. Jim DeMint's passion for the cause of individual liberty and personal responsibility is evident in this manifesto. It needs to be read—and acted upon—by every citizen of this republic."— Newt Gingrich, former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives.
