BIOGRAPHY
The Lincoln Club of Orange County is a political activist organization dedicated to limiting government to those legitimate functions that least intrude on the economy and the individual lives of its citizens while providing a strong defense securing individual liberties.
These principles are paramount: government may only act with the consent of the governed and ought to do only that which the people cannot do for themselves; political freedom cannot survive without the economic freedoms afforded by low taxes and free enterprise; and government conducted in accordance with these principles will result in economic growth and individual liberty for all citizens.
The Lincoln Club of Orange County celebrates the worth and dignity of every man and woman, regardless of race, color or religion, and is committed to their exercise of freedom’s most essential element - personal responsibility.
Membership is comprised chiefly of entrepreneurs, CEOs, professionals, and executives from a wide spectrum of industries who pay considerable annual dues and make significant political contributions from their own resources as well as from the companies which they own. Membership benefits include programs featuring prominent guest speakers -- U.S. presidents, governors, and senators, and countless other influential figures that shape local, state, and national politics have all held the Linocln Club stage; political activism through a number of committees; and opportunities to meet like-minded business professionals, corporate executives, and entrepreneurs from all industries.
Membership is by invitation. The Lincoln Club is comprised of federal and state political action committees, contributions to which are not tax deductible.

Are Pigs Flying? Willie Brown Calls Out the Unions
By The Lincoln Club | 01/11/10
Former California Assembly Speaker Willie Brown is about as liberal and pro-union as they come. Yet he penned this little nugget in a recent SF Chronicle column (scroll about half-way down) that made us check to see if indeed pigs were flying: If we as a state want to make a New Year's resolution, I suggest taking a good look at the California we have created. From our out-of-sync tax system to our out-of-control civil service, it's time for... read more »

This Travesty Should be Known as "HealthGate"
By The Lincoln Club | 12/21/09
By Dr. Marcy Zwelling The American public deserves an apology from Congress for putting them through the horror of unmet expectations of healthcare reform. The debate has cost us billions in hot air (the C02 emissions clearly above any government standards) and wasted tons of ink. All along, Democrats knew that there was no hope in reducing heath care costs to the American consumer, but that was never their... read more »
