Principios:
According to the conservative “opposition research” think tank Capital Research Center (CRC), Roe believed in maintaining “donor intent,” so the foundation his personal wealth endowed, the Roe Foundation, has explicit by-laws and requires grantees to “sign a document promising to uphold” the following principles:
“First, ‘the maximum potential of a free people is achieved when they are free to control their own destiny’; second, ‘the greatest threat to these freedoms is intrusive government’; and third, ‘the Judeo-Christian tradition represents the underpinnings of a just society.’ Furthermore, recipients of the foundation’s support must recognize ‘the importance of state and local organizations functioning alongside national organizations in the pursuit of a free society.’ Finally, they must ‘educate the public at large and all public policy makers to a better understanding of these fundamental values and practical ways to achieve the goals of expanding human freedom.'”

State Policy Network – Wikipedia, 31/01/2012 – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Policy_Network
“SPN was founded in 1992 by Thomas A. Roe, a South Carolina businessman and Republican Party activist who also served as a member of the board of trustees of the Heritage Foundation and had in 1986 founded the South Carolina Policy Council, now an SPN member group.[2][3][4] Roe was concerned that the program of “New Federalism” fostered under U.S. President Ronald Reagan had transferred powers and resources to state-level bureaucrats who “weren’t necessarily better than” their federal government counterparts. In conversation, he told Reagan that he thought each of the states needed something like the Heritage Foundation. Reagan’s reply reportedly was “Do something about it,” which led Roe to establish first the South Carolina Policy Council and later the State Policy Network.[4][5] The network was an outgrowth of the Madison Group, a collection of state-level think tanks in states including South Carolina, Colorado, Illinois, and Michigan that had been meeting periodically at the Madison Hotel in Washington, DC.”
John J. Miller – Fifty Flowers Bloom – National Review, 19/11/2007 – http://www.heymiller.com/2009/09/fifty-flowers-bloom/
“SPN was founded at the suggestion of President Ronald Reagan, according to the National Reviewx and SPN’s website. In a conversation with Thomas Roe, a South Carolina building supply magnate, Reagan allegedly suggested Roe create “something like a Heritage Foundation in each of the states.” So in 1986, Roe founded the South Carolina Policy Council. Similar groups – self-denominated as state-based think tanks – formed in Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, and elsewhere at around the same time. Representatives of those groups met at the Madison Hotel in Washington, D.C., and started to call themselves the “Madison Group.” Roe later officially founded SPN as an “umbrella organization” to provide “advisory services” – bankrolled by Roe and other right-wing funders – in 1992.”
Roe Foundation – Sourcewatch, 17/07/2013 – http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Roe_Foundation
“Roe gave Mont Pelerin Society and the Philadelphia Society “standing to sue” the Roe Foundation if, after his death, the Roe Foundation makes a grant to an organization “whose activities or public statements reflect a belief in a collectivist world or any view inconsistent” with the foundation’s announced principles (emphasis added), according to Chicago lawyer Paul Rhoads, who has written for the Philanthropy Roundtable.”
