Any loss of life is always a tragedy, and our hearts go out to the families and friends of those in Minneapolis. As the nation’s largest grassroots organization committed to freedom and opportunity, we are in the business of free expression, organizing, and elevating the voices of millions of Americans on sometimes controversial and heated political issues.

It’s a new year, and new legislatures around the country are being sworn in. There are a lot of big issues to be on the lookout for – from reining in the administrative state, to economic policy, and education. However, a lesser-known policy fight is finding its way into statehouses around the country – donor […]
When people refer to the “holiday season” at this time of year, they’re usually thinking of Christmas and Hanukkah. But let’s not forget that we also celebrate the Bill of Rights Day on December 15! That’s right, the U.S. has a day not just to celebrate our Constitution (on September 17) but also specifically our […]
Thanksgiving is the most underrated holiday. If I could only eat one kind of food for the rest of my life, I’d choose barbecue. But my second choice would be Thanksgiving food. Either way I probably wouldn’t make it very long, but what a wonderful way to go! And in addition to the food, you […]
