Activist Phyllis Schlafly, sometimes known as the "First Lady of conservatism." Her bestselling book A Choice Not an Echo was called in 2023 the "canonical text of movement conservatism."[1]

Sen. Robert A. Taft, prominent leader of the Old Right.

A movement conservative advocates for across-the-board conservative principles, without exception. This is in contrast with cafeteria, single-issue, or self-serving approaches. Movement conservatives, unlike cafeteria conservatives, understand that conservative philosophy is a coherent whole, and thus it is untenable to discard part of it without discarding all of it. Movement conservatives favor charity and logic rather than self-centered behavior and therefore reject the teachings of Ayn Rand, who advocated selfishness, and fully oppose the liberal agenda.

Simply put, a movement conservative is a conservative who seeks to help others, and the nation, by advocating and defending the logical and beneficial conservative approach. A movement conservative is not primarily seeking political gain for him or herself, but advocates the insights and values of conservatism for the benefit of others.

Movement conservatives include:
