Welcome to the the U.S. Citizens Association web site
Since we launched our national media campaign in August 2009, tens of thousands of patriotic Americans have joined our cause to provide the organization and drive necessary to reverse the forces that threaten our nation’s heritage.
Why? Because those presently in power are on the verge of changing our country from an economy based on personal liberty to an economy based on government control – and make no mistake, that’s EXACTLY what their goal is.
Thanks to our members, we have been able to run over 200 full page newspaper ads and over 2500 full 60-second television spots exposing the truth behind who is really responsible for the economic meltdown; how the cap and trade bill would cripple our economy at every level of production; how these job killing tax schemes would ruin the budgets of working families and small businesses; and how socialized health care would cause more government intrusion into everyone’s privacy while causing health care costs to skyrocket.
All of our ads are available for viewing right here on our site and we invite you to take a look. If you agree with what you see, and you’re wondering how to get involved in the fight to save our Constitutional Republic, we would be honored to have you on board as our newest member–and take the first step to becoming an Empowered Citizen.
The truth is, those who believe that the government is the solution to everyone’s problems have gained the upper hand over those of us who believe in individual liberty and free markets - not because the liberal philosophy is better, but because they are well organized and well funded.
Socialists and statists organize through labor unions, government employee unions, teachers unions, entertainment industry unions, environmental organizations, plaintiff attorney organizations, and political action organizations such as ACORN, Media Matters, and MoveOn.org. They also receive substantial funding from individuals (like George Soros) and have developed effective fundraising methods, involving Internet campaigns targeting thousands of small donors.
These statists have used all of these resources to dupe the public into believing that they are concerned about the environment, minority rights, and the needs of working class families. They use advertising to promote extremist candidates; file lawsuits for liberal causes; and form grass roots organizations to organize and raise even more money to advance big government ideals.
In contrast, Conservatives have shown very poor organization. Conservative talk show hosts do a great job, and they reach 30% of the public, which is a great achievement in 20 years. But that is not enough – never mind the fact that those radio show hosts are under constant threat of extinction through the “Fairness” Doctrine. We do have some very fine conservative organizations such as the Cato Institute, the Heritage Foundation, and Hillsdale College, but they too do not have enough channels to get their information out to the public through the mainstream media.
In essence, Conservatives need an organization with the expertise to compete with the organized efforts of the Statists. This must include getting the positive message of Conservatism and personal liberty out to 100% of the public. It’s time to stop letting the extremists frame the debate and keep Conservatives on the defensive.
That’s where the U.S. Citizens Association comes in...
