Founding Board Advisory Committee
ABOUT FREEDOM'S GROUND

Why form this Organization?

  • For Our Country - Freedom isn't a fad. The promise and benefits that follow from our Constitution deserve promotion on every day of every year.

  • For Stability - Because independent grassroots, while powerful, tend to see their strength vacillate wildly or dissipate completely between election cycles. This organization will ensure that at least a core of the freedom movement stays strong, united and in communication no matter where we are in the election cycle and no matter who is running. It will also work to further educate our organization's members and mainstream Americans on the underlying issues and advocate activism even when their vote isn't needed for an election.

  • For Strength - Stable, powerful and professional national organizations who support certain issues and have large memberships signal candidates, the media and political parties that there is a group of people who they need to be listening to.

  • For Our Future - Organizations like ours instantly increase the perception of "viability" for candidates who may otherwise be instantly dismissed as fringe/long-shot candidates. By being in existence we make it more likely that people who would run on a platform in accordance with our organizational policies actually run.

  • For Convenience - Because some people have put off their lives for this movement. When this election cycle comes to a close they would happily join an organization that ensures America's continued exposure to these ideas and lets them set their involvement to whatever level is compatible with their other life goals. In addition to continuing education we will keep individuals informed about upcoming candidates and legislation so they can rally when needed.

  • For Effectiveness - Even at peak strength there are certain initiatives that really struggle to take off from within grassroots networks. Many of the best grassroots initiatives take weeks or months longer than necessary to get going or never even get off the ground. Often, by the time they come to fruition they are really too late to achieve their initial goals or are too late to do so with the level of organization desired. With the aid the support base, experts and creative talent that this organization will bring together, time-sensitive educational, advocacy and activism campaigns can go into place quickly on a national or local level.

  • That is not to say that the grassroots should not or cannot continue to carry out independent initiatives or that this organization wants to supplant those efforts. This organization will largely be addressing a problem commonly encountered by the grassroots: it is difficult to carry out grassroots initiatives requiring preexisting infrastructure; a well-designed website, large scale fund raising and banking, lawyers, groups of people that already have experience working with each other, strategists, graphic designers, video editors, marketing professionals, policy experts, media coordinators and writers.


    What are Our Goals and Plans?

    Marketing our organizational policies (the Constitution, the Federalist Papers, the Declaration of Independence, a responsible foreign policy, competing/gold-backed currency, strong national defense, immigration reform, free & fair markets, health choice, and more) to Americans like they are a consumer product with positive branding, a simple initial presentation of the information, market research and careful design. Every one of our educational campaigns will clearly answer the question: "How does this particular issue effect individual American people?".

    We will begin work on developing the following immediately:

  • High-quality, innovative and accurate advertising that educates Americans on the principles that underly our organizational policies. These initiatives may include but will not be limited to (print, television and internet); explanation of our founding documents, the effects of policy and upcoming policy decisions on individual Americans and our country as a whole.

  • A well-crafted, intuitive website with a simple follow-up interface that allows those who come to our site after viewing our print, television or internet ads to easily find the information they are looking for. The consulting panel of credentialed experts we build will help us break complex political and economical issues into multiple highly digestible levels. That way we can reach out with a very simple initial level of information and then provide people who we bring to FreedomsGround.org with multiple choices as to how deeply they want to dig into the issue or an incremental movement through all levels, they have control. Our website will also provide members and those who already support the platform with a place to send friends and family that will answer their questions and shepherd them into a true understanding of the issues. Members can go to the site for a refresher course or to learn more about the issues. Every educational or advocacy initiative will have its own clearly linked-to area on the website and be presented not only as text in levels but with accompanying graphs, charts, interesting facts, cartoons, comparisons and other features that will clearly illustrate the issue at hand.
