David Frum is an attorney, journalist and Resident Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, and is an advocate of American conservatism. He was a special assistant and speechwriter to George W. Bush. He speaks and writes for conservative principles, and is a columnist for the National Post (Canada), and a contributing editor for The Weekly Standard. He was a contributing editor for National Review, and runs the NewMajority.com website, "dedicated to the modernization and renewal of the Republican party and the conservative movement."[1]

"He studies recent political, generational, and demographic trends and warns that the conservatism of the 1980s will have to revise and reinvent itself to compete in twenty-first century America. In 2007, the British newspaper Daily Telegraph named him one of America's fifty most influential conservatives." [2] He also edits the NewMajority.com website. He is currently at work on a book about the decline of the Republican Party in California since 1990.

Frum coauthored the 2003 book, An End to Evil, with Richard Perle, which advocates a strong policy against terror. [3] The book treated Saddam Hussein as the greatest single threat.

He holds M.A. and B.A. degrees from Yale University and a law degree from Harvard Law School.
