Sites and organizations dedicated to spreading truth, liberty,freedom from tyranny and injustice, and free market ideas.

RESTORE THE REPUBLIC.COM

The "Home Page of the Freedom Movement". Founded by the late Aaron Russo in 2007, based on the excitement created around his documentary "America: Freedom to Fascism", RTR continues his legacy of restoring our great republic through education and activism. Many tools and information for the modern patriot can be found here, including the informative Republic magazine, as well as links to the social network: RESTORE THE REPUBLIC.NET, RTR's social networking tool; the freedom movement's answer to myspace and meetup.com. Here, you can create a personal profile, start and join national or local groups, send messages and coordinate events. The national End the Fed groups were largely responsible for organizing the numerous protests at Federal Reserve bank branches across the country in the fall of 2008.

INFOWARS

An excellent non-partisan, alternative media news site run by Alex Jones - radio talk show host and documentary film maker. Jones is considered by many to be the voice of the freedom movement and works tirelessly to expose lies and corruption from all sources of government and mainstream media propaganda. He's especially famous for being a leader in the 9/11 Truth movement, and has had many high-profile celebrities, scientists, and experts in numerous fields on his radio show on the GCN radio network, also available as podcasts. PRISON PLANET is the paid-membership site where of all Alex Jones' political documentaries are available for download (or to order on DVD), including Terror Storm, Police State, 9/11 Chronicles: Truth Rising, and Endgame: Blueprint for Global Enslavement (highly recommended!) There are also video clips of many of his radio talk show episodes.

CAMPAIGN FOR LIBERTY

With the money left over from his presidential campaign, along with continuing donations, Ron Paul started the political organization/movement Campaign for Liberty to continue the R3volution! The huge grassroots movement he started is still alive and actively working to get politicians elected who run on a "Ron Paul" platform of individual liberty, fiscal responsibility, and non-interventionism. The site features many blogs by officials and members alike, extensive educational materials on many subjects and essential organizing tools for state/community level activism.

FREEDOM FORCE INTERNATIONAL

G. Edward Griffin, author of books such as the bestselling expose "The Creature from Jeckyll Island: A Closer Look at the Federal Reserve", has developed a network determined to counter the influence of freedom-stealing collectivists with an equally potent and embedded force of freedom-promoting individualists. This noble plan to establish local Freedom Force chapters is well-outlined and defined, starting with The Creed of Freedom, which all members must swear to uphold. Think of it as sort of a "Skull & Bones" style "secret society" for the freedom movement! On this site you'll find much enlightenment in Griffin's personal essays, as well as in his Unfiltered News email newsletter that he encourages you sign up for for free.

WE THE PEOPLE FOUNDATION

"The We the People Foundation is a non-profit research and educational foundation. Our purpose is to promote a deeper understanding of the history and nature of America’s unique constitutional system of government and the power it affords our citizens to hold government leaders at all levels accountable for their actions. The Foundation’s programs facilitate effective civic action intended to compel government officials to obey our federal and state constitutions."

Third Parties

While the administrator of this site desires for it to be largely non-partisan (with the belief that full exposure to the truth will lead people towards the correct path or paths), it is very important to realize that there are more political parties out there than the main two! In fact, there are many of them - but they are routinely marginalized by the media and political establishment because they pose a threat to the status quo. And as long as people are unwilling to give them credence by "wasting their vote" on them, or are simply blissfully unaware of their existence, then it is the status quo that we will continue to be stuck with. We encourage everyone to research third parties and find which one(s) you truly agree with. Some of the more popular ones include the Libertarian Party, the Green Party and the Constitution Party. Also, there's the Third Party Watch website for more info on 3rd parties and independents running for office.

DOWNSIZE DC

Downsize DC has a comprehensive plan to introduce bills into Congress that will help restore the federal government to it's Constitutional limits, such as the Read the Bills Act and the One Subject at a Time Act. "We believe the federal government has grown too centralized, too intrusive, and too expensive. We believe in constitutional limits, smaller government, civil liberties, federalism, and low taxes. We want to end laws and programs that don't work, cause harm, and violate the Constitution. We want to restore the full force of the 9th and 10th amendments, which reserve most social functions to the people and the states."

GOVTRACK.US

Govtrack.us is an open source research tool to track actions of Congress, something that would normally be a daunting and complex task for ordinary citizens. This site makes it easy to look up the status of federal legislation, voting records of the Senate and House, as well as info on individual members of Congress. The site also offers tools to track specific issues that are of interest to you, including widgets that you can add to your webpage.

JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY

Nevermind what you might have heard about JBS, that it's just a 'good-old boys' club for conspiracy theorists", just take a look at what they're doing. Possibly one of longest-lived modern "patriot" organizations, the John Birch Society, founded in 1958 by Robert Welch, has been dedicated to restoring and preserving freedom by returning to a Constitutional government. The site presents many educational and activism tools. JBS has been an influential force, especially with their highly informative magazine, The New American, which is admittedly subscribed to and read regularly by Representative Ron Paul. JBS.org now also has some excellent activism tools to help you send pre-templated letters to your local representatives on important bills. It even figures out who to send them to based on your address - they literally do all the work for you! (Activism-->Freedom Campaign).

TRUTH ATTACK

"Welcome to Truth Attack, a coalition of Freedom Movement organizations and patriots dedicated to the restoration of the limited and distant federal republic guaranteed us by our Constitution. Truth Attack is unfolding a coordinated plan of action that will put the government back in its box—one tentacle at a time! The first tentacle is the IRS's fraudulent, unlawful and economically, morally and socially destructive application of the income tax to Americans living and working here at home. America must wake up to the Truth!"

FULLY INFORMED JURY ASSOCIATION (FIJA)

"The primary function of the independent juror is not, as many think, to dispense punishment to fellow citizens accused of breaking various laws, but rather to protect fellow citizens from tyrannical abuses of power by government." This site contains a plethora of educational resources for the fully informed patriot juror. Contrary to popular belief, our founders intended jurors to not only judge those accused of a crime, but to judge the very validity, and hence, enforceability of the law itself! See "jury revolution" and "jury nullification" elsewhere on this site for more information.

WE ARE CHANGE

Well-known for their work towards 9/11 truth investigations, part of their mission statement describes them best: "We Are Change has arisen from the remnants of our republic to fill the vacancy left by those who swore to preserve, protect and defend The Constitution against all enemies – foreign and domestic. We seek to expose the fraud of the left/right paradigm and reveal that the world truly functions on a top/down hierarchy that threatens to destroy free society as we know it. We Are Change works to educate, motivate, and activate those striving to uncover the truth behind the private banking cartel of the military industrial complex that is directing the majority of U.S. policy, and that is actively seeking to eliminate national sovereignty and replace it with a "one world order." We will also continue to move in a direction that reconnects “We the People” to our nations founding principles laid out in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights."

INSTITUTE FOR JUSTICE

Possibly the nation's only libertarian law firm, I think their mission statement describes it best: "Through a unique and strategic combination of litigation, legal counsel, training, research, communications and outreach, the Institute for Justice advances a rule of law under which individuals can control their destinies as free and responsible members of society. IJ litigates to secure economic liberty, school choice, private property rights, freedom of speech and other vital individual liberties and to restore constitutional limits on the power of government. IJ provides legal counsel to inner-city entrepreneurs, because their freedom to shape their own businesses directly affects their freedom to shape their own lives and communities. In addition, IJ trains law students, lawyers, policy activists and grassroots organizers in the tactics of public interest litigation and advocacy for liberty. Through these activities, IJ challenges the ideology of the welfare state and illustrates and extends the benefits of freedom to those whose full enjoyment of liberty is denied by government."

FREE STATE PROJECT

"The Free State Project is an agreement among 20,000 pro-liberty activists to move to New Hampshire, where they will exert the fullest practical effort toward the creation of a society in which the maximum role of government is the protection of life, liberty, and property. The success of the Project would likely entail reductions in taxation and regulation, reforms at all levels of government, to expand individual rights and free markets, and a restoration of constitutional federalism, demonstrating the benefits of liberty to the rest of the nation and the world."

LUDWIG VON MISES INSTITUTE

The most respected source for Austrian economics, "The Ludwig von Mises Institute is the research and educational center of classical liberalism, libertarian political theory, and the Austrian School of economics. Working in the intellectual tradition of Ludwig von Mises (1881-1973) and Murray N. Rothbard (1926-1995), with a vast array of publications, programs, and fellowships, the Mises Institute, with offices in Auburn, Alabama, seeks a radical shift in the intellectual climate as the foundation for a renewal of the free and prosperous commonwealth."

CATO INSTITUTE

One of the top libertarian think tanks, the Cato Institute's mission is to "increase the understanding of public policies based on the principles of limited government, free markets, individual liberty, and peace. The Institute will use the most effective means to originate, advocate, promote, and disseminate applicable policy proposals that create free, open, and civil societies in the United States and throughout the world."
