Richard A. Viguerie, chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, has offered a $10,000 prize for a plan to “take over the Republican Party, win the November 2016 elections and govern America by 2017.”

Announcing the award Monday, Viguerie wrote that grassroots conservatives must stop big-government Republicans from taking over the party:

The most important political battle in America is not between Republicans and Democrats or between conservatives and liberals. It is the battle for control of the Republican Party between establishment big government Republicans and limited government, constitutional conservatives.  It has become clear that establishment Republican and Democratic politicians have failed America because they have both accepted big government as the solution to every problem.

The official site for “The Liberty Prize” said the content offers a “$10,000 prize, plus fame, appreciation and the opportunity to save America.”

Karl Rove has faced harsh criticism after launching the Conservative Victory Project, a super PAC designed to back electable Republican candidates to win back a majority in the Senate.
