Chicago, IL, United States

Over 200 years ago, Sam Adams built a network of citizens that primed the ground for the American Revolution and paved the way for the rights and freedoms outlined in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Today, many of those basic freedoms are under attack by the very government that was formed to protect them—a government that is increasingly overreaching, unaccountable, and out of control. The Sam Adams Alliance strives to educate and inform citizens about the important political issues necessary to maintaining a free society, including government accountability, government transparency, property rights protection, fiscal responsibility, free speech, and citizen initiative and referendum rights. In doing so, it aims to broaden the public debate on the proper role of state and local government in society, and to inspire greater involvement of intelligent, concerned citizens." "Become a modern-day Sam Adams...join us today!"

The SAA's former blog "Tea Party" is now called Blogivists .com and a community of bloggers who do not simply want to write but are dedicated to advancing the cause of free-markets and individual liberty. Become a Blogivist! It is the only site offering free personalized blogs to anyone who is motivated by the cause of liberty. (3/6/08)
