The Goldwater Institute. 500 E. Coronado Rd. Phoenix, AZ. 85004; (602) 462-5000;
The Goldwater Institute accomplishes real results for liberty by working in state courts, legislatures, and communities nationwide to advance, defend, and strengthen the freedom guaranteed by the constitutions of the United States and the fifty states.
Founded in 1988 in Arizona with Senator Barry Goldwater’s blessing, the Institute is a free-market public policy research and litigation organization dedicated to advancing the principles of limited government, economic freedom, and individual liberty, with a focus on education, free speech healthcare, equal protection, property rights, occupational licensing, and constitutional limits.
The U.S. Constitution provides a basic minimum of protection for individual rights while leaving states free to enact laws that protect those rights more broadly. That’s why we direct our efforts at the states, the “laboratories of democracy,” to introduce innovative ideas that expand freedom. And that’s why we litigate in state courts to defend individual liberty.”
While many younger (or less informed) citizens credit Reagan with energizing the conservative movement it was actually Barry Goldwater “who reshaped the Republican Party [temporarily], set a conservative agenda for the nation and laid the groundwork for the transformative presidency of Ronald Reagan.” It was under his tutelage that the Young Republicans became a more powerful voice in the latter half of the 20th century.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn Center. www.solzhenitsyncenter.org;
I personally believe Solzhenitsyn deserves the title “Conscience of the World” for his personal sacrifices to tell the Truth about both Russia / Soviet Union and the Western world – the United States in particular. It’s both a travesty and a tragedy his works are not taught in every educational institution in America. I believe the reason he is not is because human beings HATE personal criticism no matter how affectionately phrased – or accurate the criticism is. Too bad, because not only America but the World would be a much better place is we changed the destructive behavior we engage in as observed by Solzhenitsyn. His translated works relating his experience in Soviet labor camps, expulsion from Russia and return to Russia are classics of political prose – both beautiful and spot on.
He knows the solution to the Russia-Ukraine war (his father is Russian, his mother Ukrainian) – and the solutions to a myriad other social ills. He also knows history – and mankind’s lethargy in improving its own character.
National Association of Scholars: “The National Association of Scholars upholds the standards of a liberal arts education that fosters intellectual freedom, searches for the Truth, and promotes good citizenship. “We expect that ideas be judged on their own merits; that scholars engage in the disinterested pursuit of Truth; and that colleges and universities provide for fair and judicial contending examination of contending views.”

Open the Books: “In Memoriam of former CEO Adam Andrzejewski: “Adam’s belief in the power of transparency to transform government and hold it accountable at every level is the driving force behind our work. His relentless pursuit of open records and forensic auditing has set new standards in the fight for government transparency.
Adam’s dream was to spark a transparency revolution. The result of his leadership is a well-oiled machine that operates at enormous scale and efficiency, dedicated to posting every dime on line – in as close to real time as possible.”
“We work hard to capture and post all disclosed spending at every level of government – federal, state and local. We broke open the California state checkbook for the first time in American history. We won’t stop until we capture every dime taxed and spent by our government. . . . a project of American transparency.”

BYU AdLab: Clean, Moral and Intelligent Advertising. I know, it sounds like an oxymoron in that industry. Yet, “in the 43rd College Television Awards – known as the Student Emmys – three of their ads swept the nominations for best commercial. In 2024, AdLab was named the No. 1 college creative advertising program in the world by The One Club for Creativity, a nonprofit advertising and design trade organization. Their 22-second heartwarming Coca-Cola commercial Signs of Friendship directed by Destinee J. Neville and produced by Adam B. Sheets, won the Coca-Cola Refreshing Films grand prize.
The AdLab is a private company and receives no funding from BYU instead generating all income from client projects from such companies as: Wieden+Kennedy, Crispin Porter+Bogusky, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, and McCann Erickson.”

SandburgLeanIn.org: Sheryl Sandburgh takes her well-deserved place among such iconic Truth Tellers as Rebecca Friederichs for education (Standing Up to Goliath), James O’Keefe (Project Veritas) and Dinesh D’Souza (Hillary’s America) for political corruption. Sheryl has produced a documentary detailing the atrocities of the Hamas attack on Jews October 7, 2023. This documentary exposes the Lie espoused by the Hamas’ Useful Idiots protesting on university campuses nationwide (see also this blog site: Public Education: The Suicide of an Anachronism). Her YouTube video “Screams Before Silence” stands as an irrefutable testament to those massacred on that day.
The Grace Commission Report:
Reagan Library archivist Aimee Muller (aimee.muller@nara.gov; Ph: (805) 577-4054) responded within a day to my request for the Grace Commission Report. THE GRACE COMMISSION REPORT is the only serious attempt by any president in our history to eliminate waste in our government. This Commission consisted of successful, non-governmental civilian business executives of both political persuasions. Of the thousands of recommendations, only twenty two were accepted and implemented by Congress.
Ronald Reagan Presidential Library Digital Library Collections: Collection: Wilson, D. Edward, Jr., Files 1981-84; SECTION: IV President’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control (Grace Commission); SUBSERIES: D: Task Force Reports, FOLDER TITLE: PPSSCC- A Report to the President, 01/15/1984, Volume I of 2 (2 of 9); Box: OA 9720.
See also (if you can stomach it!): Burning Money: The Waste of Your Tax Dollars by J. Peter Grace, Chairman of the President’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, 1984; 288pgs. The first sentence of the front flap “A 2,000,000,000,000 (trillion) deficit by year 2000?” On the back flap “He challenges Congress on how to change the wayward course of government spending so that our children and grandchildren will not have to bear the burden of our neglect and inertia. . . . Grace answers the question posed by many taxpayers: Who really is in charge? You may think you know, but you’ll change your mind after reading his story.” (see also: War on Waste published by MacMillan which also contains the Grace Report findings)
The potential impact on the government – and its’ near total neglect – reminds me of the final scene in the movie Raiders of the Lost Ark where the ark is stored in the labyrinth of a GSA warehouse never to be seen again. Proof once again there is no significant difference between either of the two political Parties.
Constituting America (constitutingamerica.org.) “is a non-profit, non-partisan organization that educates and informs the public about the U.S. Constitution. The organization utilizes popular culture (music, film, television, internet, and social media) to reach, educate, and inform America’s adults and youth about the non-partisan relevancy of the U.S. Constitution. Constituting America was founded on February 17, 2010 by actress/author Janine Turner and Cathy Gillespie, a former senior congressional aide.
Constituting America is “committed to reversing the trend of civic apathy and ignorance existing among the American people. Founded to preserve the U.S. Constitution, Constituting America places special emphasis on bringing the Constitution to life in schools across the country. The founders of the organization visit schools in a school speaking program and provide clubs for students to become involved in. Additionally, Constituting America hosts an annual We The Future scholarship contest for students across the country.” (Wikipedia)

#Stand Up to Jewish Hate: http://www.standuptojewishhate.org I’m including this in addition to CUFI to reinforce my strong support for Israel and my Jewish cousins and because they have the most poignant anti-religious bias commercial I have ever seen. It chokes me up every time I see it (the neighbor who paints over the smear on the garage door). It says it all – at least how it should be. It’s difficult to accept the necessity of posting such sites in this day and age of America.
Citizens United for Israel; cufi.org I’ve long supported our Abrahamic cousins of the Tribe of Israel my entire life. I’ve obtained membership several years consecutively mainly to obtain the cool lapel pins displaying the American and Israeli flag joined in unity. I’ve put them on three of my five motorcycle pouches (time to renew to get some more) and had it embroidered on the top of the back of my motorcycle jacket above the embroidered inscription “Against all enemies foreign and domestic“. I believe Israel feels the same way. As a Mormon I’ve experienced religious bigotry from the most surprising sources. What religious bigots in American history have done to Mormons (Missouri Gov. Lilburn Boggs extermination order) pales in comparison to the crimes against humanity committed for centuries against the Jews. Those who call Jews “Christ-killers” are talking through their fourth point of contact (a paratrooper phrase) and don’t fully understand either the scriptures or Christ’s teachings. They are as bad as the Muslims who hate non-Muslims.
Register your resistance to religious bigotry by joining Citizens United for Israeli – and display their cool lapel pin.

Sorbo Studios: I was watching Newsmax reporting Glenn Beck’s discovery that Fox News was pushing donations by their employees to such anti-cultural, anti-American, anti-Christian organizations as The Satanic Temple, Planned Parenthood, and The Southern Poverty Law Center – and matching donations by employees with dollar for dollar contributions by the corporate headquarters. Sam and Kevin Sorbo were interviewed for their assessment. They apparently have created their own Gospel oriented film studio. I was impressed. I’m probably a late-comer to this couple putting their money where their consciences are – and trying to save the soul of America in the process. They’re valiant Christian soldiers carrying Christ’s banner into battle. “Onward, Christian soldiers!” – Hymn Onward, Christian Soldiers! text: Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834-1924; music: Arthur S. Sullivan, 1842-1900

True the Vote: Electoral group exposing the MSM’s lie that there was no ballot fraud. Doing an amazing job uncovering the first successful coup against the Constitution and the office of the President of the United States.

See it to be a Lie and you have already dealt it a mortal blow.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson, The American Scholar, 1837
Project Veritas: projectveritas.org Don’t believe the libel written by Google about Project Veritas. James O’Keefe is a national hero along with Rebecca Freidrichs.

Turning Point USA This website exposes “progressive”, liberal, Socialist, Communist, anarchist, Democrat (they’re all the same in my opinion) university / college professors who brainwash their students while gagging their God-given right under the First Amendment to self expression in what used to be temples of free-thought. The website does a lot of positive work espousing the principles that made America great.
