Conservative Organizations

Americans for Taxreform

We believe in a system in which taxes are simpler, 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 was founded in 1985 by Grover Norquist at the request of President Reagan.

The flagship project of Americans for Tax Reform is the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, a written promise by legislators and candidates for office that commits them to oppose any effort to increase income taxes on individuals and businesses. Today the Taxpayer Protection Pledge is offered to every candidate for state and federal office and to all incumbents. Nearly 1,400 elected officials, from state representative to governor to US Senator, have signed the Pledge. <more>

Accuracy In Academia

Accuracy in Academia, a non-profit research group based in Washington, D. C., wants schools to return to their traditional mission-the quest for truth. To promote this goal, AIA documents and publicizes political bias in education in Campus Report, its monthly newsletter. CR articles focus on:

The use of classroom and/or university resources to indoctrinate students;
Discrimination against students, faculty or administrators based on political or academic beliefs; and
Campus violations of free speech.

Clare Boothe Luce Center for Conservative Women

We provide a conservative woman’s perspective on current policy issues that affect her life, country and faith – a perspective that is often ignored or dismissed within academia and by the media. Our materials, programs and initiatives stress the importance of moral values, strength of character, academic excellence, integrity and a strong work ethic. Our blog, newsletters and social media communications support ideas and efforts that are pro-America, pro-family, support free enterprise and entrepreneurship, and pro-national defense and encourage our supporters and students to be active ambassadors of conservative philosophy at their school, at their workplace, and within their community. <more>

#Jexit USA

JEXIT Inc., is a Florida Not for Profit Organization founded in March 2019 by a conservative Jewish woman who was the Co-Chair of Jews for Trump Coalition during the 2016 Presidential election campaign. JEXIT’s origin dates back to October 2018 with the creation of our #JEXIT Facebook social media page. Our mission is to educate and encourage American Jews to leave the Democratic Party that has become a progressive socialist party fraught with anti-Semitic ideals and join President Trump, the greatest friend to Israel and the Jewish People. <more>

National Legal and Policy Center

Founded in 1991, the National Legal and Policy Center promotes ethics in public life through research, investigation, education and legal action.

We recognize that the bigger the government, the more opportunities for corruption; and the more intervention in the economy, the more reason for special interests to seek influence. We believe that the best way to promote ethics is to reduce the size of government. <more>

National Taxpayers Union

Project Veritas

Founded by James O’Keefe, the mission of Project Veritas is to:

Investigate and expose corruption, dishonesty, self-dealing, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions in order to achieve a more ethical and transparent society.

Project Veritas is the most effective non-profit on the national scene, period.

We’ve had dozens of successes, many of which are detailed on this site. The pattern is clear:

Project Veritas launches an investigation with the placement of our undercover journalists. The rollout of our findings creates a growing and uncontainable firestorm of press coverage. Corruption is exposed, leaders resign, and organizations are shut down.

Project Veritas is a registered 501(c)3 organization. Project Veritas does not advocate specific resolutions to the issues that are raised through its investigations, nor do we encourage others to do so. Our goal is to inform the public of wrongdoing and allow the public to make judgments on the issues. <more>
