Alan Keyes spent 11 years with
the U.S. State Department. He served in the U.S. Foreign Service and on the
staff of the National Security Council before becoming Ronald Reagan's
Assistant Secretary of State for International Organizations (1985-88). In
the interim, from 1983 to 1985, he served as ambassador to the United
Nations Economic and Social Council, where he represented America's
sovereign interests in the U.N. General Assembly.
Keyes was President of Citizens Against Government Waste (1989-91) and
founder of National Taxpayers' Action Day. As the two-time Republican
nominee for U.S. Senate in Maryland, he challenged liberal Democrats Paul
Sarbanes (1988) and Barbara Mikulski (1992). In the 1996 and 2000 Republican
presidential campaigns, Alan Keyes eloquently elevated the national
political debate as a candidate for president. With his unequivocal
pro-life, pro-family message, he forced the GOP leadership to address
America's moral crisis. His political views are consistently based on
America's founding ideals, those in the Declaration of Independence and U.S.
Constitution.
Alan hosted his own syndicated radio show throughout the 1990s, America's
Wake-Up Call, and a television commentary show, Alan Keyes is Making Sense,
during 2002 on MSNBC. He is currently writing books and speaking publicly on
America's moral crisis.
Keyes has a Ph.D. in government from Harvard and wrote his dissertation on
constitutional theory. He served as Interim President of Alabama A&M
University in 1991. He speaks French and has studied Spanish, Russian, and
ancient Greek, and is the author of Masters of the Dream: The Strength and
Betrayal of Black America (1995); and Our Character, Our Future: Reclaiming
America's Moral Destiny (1996).
Keyes has unashamedly and consistently raised the standard of unalienable
rights--and Biblical truth--in defense of the unborn. He confronts the
culture of death with compelling and inspiring reasons why abortion must be
banned from our land.
Keyes and his wife Jocelyn have three children: Francis, Maya, and Andrew.
Alan's stated purpose in life, like that of America's Founders, is to
provide a secure future for our posterity. |
