About the American
Policy Roundtable
A generation ago, a handful of "ordinary people"
began meeting together out of a growing concern for America. Their
conversations, prayers, and research led to the founding of an "extraordinary"
public policy effort that would blossom into the American Policy Roundtable.
Recognizing that America is - at its core - a
commitment to ideas and principles, the Roundtable was established with the
mission of restoring the historic Judeo-Christian principles to American public
policy. The Roundtable seeks to fulfill this mission statement by meeting three
core objectives:
1) Rekindling the American Spirit -- by telling
the story of Liberty everyday.
2) Building networks of leaders, who will help others join in the adventure of
responsible citizenship.
3) Overcoming evil in civil society by promoting positive alternatives in public
policy.
To accomplish these objectives the Roundtable
model is built upon state-based public policy organizations, established in
strategic states, all working to change America from "the bottom-up." Each
state-based Roundtable organization serves under the auspices of the Board of
Trustees of the American Policy Roundtable.
Impacting public policy is a process that
requires multiple areas of activity. Competing in the realm of ideas is
critical, but alone cannot prevail in a Constitutional Republic. Good government
also requires constant vigilance in the Legislative and Judicial process as well
as a constant flow of new leaders to serve in public office. The Roundtable
model incorporates the necessity of this "three-pronged" approach to public
policy.
Federal and state laws require certain types of
organizations be established for these specific purposes. The Roundtable is a
501(c)3 education and research organization. Roundtable Freedom Forum is a
501(c)4 organization focused on legislative activity. The Liberty Committee is a
non-affiliated federal PAC that works on selected candidate campaigns. Each of
these three organizations are vital components in the state-based model
pioneered by the Roundtable.
The American Policy Roundtable is an independent, non-partisan, not-for-profit
organization. No funds are solicited or accepted from any political parties or
candidates.
