Why A Conservative Legal Organization Is Desperately Trying To Kill The Indian Child Welfare Act | ThinkProgress: The nonprofit — officially the Barry Goldwater Institute for Public Policy Research — was created in 1988 in honor of libertarian/conservative Sen. Barry Goldwater (R), whose son serves on its board. The organization, which is located in Goldwater’s home state of Arizona, describes itself as a “national leader for constitutionally limited government.” It has an annual budget of about $5 million and donors including foundations connected to hedge fund millionaire Robert Mercer, petrochemical billionaire Charles Koch, and the late Walmart founder Sam Walton.
