Americans for Tax Reform |
“ATR
opposes all tax increases as a matter of principle. We believe in a
system in which taxes are simpler, fairer, flatter, more visible, and lower
than they are today. The government’s power to control one’s life
derives from its power to tax. We believe that power should be
minimized. ATR
leads the fight to continue to bring tax relief to Americans, and works to
stop new avenues of taxation, such as the Streamlined Sales Tax Proposal
(SSTP) and Internet taxation.” |

Americans for Limited Government |
“Each
year, the government becomes increasingly disconnected from the people. Both
parties are corrupt. Their delegations to Congress are corrupt. They don't
honor their own principles or platforms. Voters are cynical and increasingly
alienated from political parties, politicians, and government. The time is ripe for an independent political movement that represents hardworking taxpayers against the bipartisan tax eaters and career politicians who have come to dominate politics today. “ |

Free Market News |
“Technology breaks down regulatory barriers. In the early 21st century,
the world, and the West in particular, is seeing convulsive change. While
more and more laws are passed and taxes levied in pursuit of public
solutions, a groundswell of support for the benefits of private enterprise is
evident in numerous websites and blogs on the 'Net. |

Castle Coalition |
“Despite the requirement of
the United States Constitution and the constitutions of all fifty states,
governments across the country routinely condemn property for the use of other
private parties. Courts often decide to stand passively by and allow these
travesties to occur. The Castle Coalition is an effort by
activists to take matters into their own hands. It was inspired by watching
several communities defeat seemingly unstoppable projects to take homes and
businesses to give to other private parties. This website seeks to give you
ideas and tools to wage this battle yourself, in your own community. It is
also our hope that the Castle Coalition will be a way for activists to
network with each other and give support, ideas, and advice.” |

“Court Watch is dedicated to building in America a

Court Watch pursues its mission through the Courting Justice
Campaign, which is now entering its Phase Two. In Phase One, we
focused our efforts on opposing Bill Clinton's activist/liberal judicial
appointments and on beginning to raise America's awareness of the damage and
danger of activist/liberal judging. Our objectives for Phase Two further the
cause of federal judicial reform--the effort to create a judiciary which is
truly committed to courting justice. Phase Two is outlined
in our "Five for the Future Plan,":
(1) To promote the confirmation of constitutionalist judges; (2) To eliminate
any and all judicial power to tax; (3) To reduce the size of the bloated
judiciary; (4) To defederalize the bulk of America's criminal law; (5) To
require, as a minimum, a unanimous vote of a three-judge federal panel to
invalidate citizen-passed initiatives. Our
immediate
goal
is to vigorously promote the confirmation of constitutionalist judges
(objective #1) and to continue educating the public concerning all five of
our objectives. Our longer-range goal is to make federal judicial reform and the five
reform measures of our Plan major issues in the elections of 2004.” |
