The Truman National Security Project describes itself as being 'dedicated to forging a Democratic foreign policy founded on strength and security, grounded in a strong military and active diplomacy, and committed to furthering the American ideals of freedom, dignity, and opportunity worldwide.'[1]
One of its founders, Rachel Kleinfeld, described the impetus for the project as national security as being an asset for the Republicans. 'We decided there really was a need to create a movement of Democrats to stand up for these ideas and to really start to think about it, very much as a counterpart to the neoconservatives of the 1970s,' she told Forward. The group aims to change the Democratic Party so that national security is seen as a strength rather than as a weakness. [2]
At its 2005 conference one of the panel discussions was on 'what Democrats did wrong, Republicans did right, and neo-cons did better' and 'the need to increase the size of the deployable military.'[3]
