Welcome to The Harbour League

James Madison once said, "It has been said that all Government is an evil. It would be more proper to say that the necessity of any Government is a misfortune. This necessity however exists; and the problem to be solved is, not what form of Government is perfect, but which of the forms is least imperfect."

Founded in 2005, The Harbour League is a non-partisan research and educational institute whose m ission is to research, analyze and promote conservative public policies related to Maryland and the nation. The Harbour League holds dear an appreciation for entrepreneurship, the free market system, and lower taxes with respect for civil liberties and skepticism about the benefits of the welfare state.

Through speakers, roundtables and other events during the year, we intend to explore the political thoughts of the best minds on political philosophy including Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton and Burke as well as provocative contemporary philosophers.

"The Harbour League is an excellent forum for the vigorous exchange of conservative ideas. It's the hottest new spot for right-thinking political activists and policy makers in the Baltimore area. Can't wait to come back!" -- Michelle Malkin

"If you need to know the latest on the entire spectrum of conservative thought, you need to join The Harbour League" -- Grover Norquist
