    Independence Institute's Interests
General

Through a variety of publications and public forums, the Institute provides citizens of Colorado and the nation with specific recommendations to help resolve important issues facing our communities. These issues include improving our educational system, containing health-care costs, widening economic freedom, and controlling violent crime.

The Independence Institute uses a variety of media to share policy ideas with concerned citizens and public servants:

Issue Papers and Issue Backgrounders - The Independence Institute's staff of Senior Fellows conducts and publishes research and analysis on a broad variety of topics related to shrinking government and expanding freedom. Tax limitation, pro-consumer health care reform, transportation, and free-market environmentalism are some of the topics that have received special attention recently.

Opinion/Editorials - each week newspaper and website readers learn more about pro-freedom solutions through our Independence Feature Syndicate. This weekly commentary on current events is distributed to journalists and editors, helping to explain the ideas and benefits of civil liberty and economic freedom. To receive our weekly op-eds, along with a note from our president detailing the events at the Institute, simply join our E-mail Network. It's free. You won't get spammed. And, we won't share your e-mail address.

About me:


The Independence Institute is established upon the eternal truths of the Declaration of Independence. Founded in 1985, the Independence Institute is a non-partisan, non-profit public policy research organization dedicated to providing timely information to concerned citizens, government officials, and public opinion leaders.

Because the pursuit of happiness and the enjoyment of life and liberty are matters of individual choice, the Institute addresses a broad variety of public policy issues from a free-market, pro-freedom perspective.

Through the Institute's Policy Centers, areas of critical importance are addressed with a dedicated focus. The centers allow the public and media access to a concentrated source of expertise on education, the environment, transportation, personal freedom, government reform, local government, and criminal justice.

Unlike other organizations which see government intervention as the only solution, the Independence Institute seeks to explore all alternatives, emphasizing private-sector and community-based solutions. The Independence Institute is recognized by friend and foe alike as one of the most effective organizations at setting a freedom agenda for Colorado and the United States.

Help us spread the word!!

On March 23rd 1775 Patrick Henry delivered the famous "give me liberty or give me death" speech. On March 23rd 2008 help us elect a liberty-minded candidate to Congress. This is the next phase of our revolution. We must support those who are running for office in order to support Dr. Paul. This March 23rd please help us honor this great moment in American history. "Give me liberty or give me death!"

We made history on November 5th raising 4.3 million dollars in a single day. Now, in commemoration of the Boston Tea Party 1773, we are pursuing another day.

Please join us this December 16th 2007 for the largest one-day political donation event in history. Our goal is to bring together 100,000 people to donate $100 each, creating a one day donation total of $10,000,000.
