{{stub}}{{#badges:SPN}}The '''Indiana Policy Review Foundation''' (IPR) is a conservative [[think tank]] and member right-wing pressure group that is an affiliate of the [[State Policy Network]]web of such groups in all 50 states. IPR states as its mission "to marshall [''sic''] the best thought on governmental, economic and educational issues at the state and municipal levels" through exalting "the truths of the Declaration of Independence, especially as they apply to the interrelated freedoms of religion, property and speech," emphasizing "primacy of the individual in addressing public concerns," and recognizing "that equality of opportunity is sacrificed in pursuit of equality of results."<ref>[http://inpolicy.org/about-us/ "About Us"], organizational website, accessed November 2012</ref> IPR was co-founded by its board president, [[Byron S.

We actually called our little foundation in Indiana the Indiana Policy Review Foundation, very much as a homage to Policy Review Magazine of Heritage, and we modeled on the state level what Heritage had done before."<ref>Heritage Foundation, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRW3CeAuZ5Y Rep.
