Membership
Membership in the Coalition is open to anyone who shares our beliefs,
supports our mission, and who wants to be part of a cause bigger than
themselves.
Historian Bernard Bailyn commented that Thomas Jefferson "hoped
that the common sense of the American people and their innate
idealism would overcome the obstacles and somehow resolve the
ambiguities, and that America would fulfill its destiny - which was, he
believed, to preserve, and to extend to other regions of the earth,
'the sacred fire of freedom and self-government,' and to liberate the
human mind from every form of tyranny."
Every monopoly spreads tyranny, and this is what our members are
fighting against.
Members of the Coalition are virtuous citizens. In fact, virtue is our
core value. "With its origins in vir, the Latin word for man, virtu was
originally translated as 'public spirit,' for, as described by a line of
philosophers from Aristotle to Montesquieu, it referred to someone so
devoted to civic service that he became famous in his lifetime, and
after death was remembered by history for his great and generous
work. Machiavelli had warned that democratic states depended on the
virtue of their citizens, for if a love of power inspired 'factions' to
pursue private interests in lieu of the greater good, or if fortuna (a
lust for riches and luxury) defeated virtu, corruption and tyranny
would be the inevitable result."
America is a democratic republic, and it depends on virtuous citizens
to survive. BECOME A FOUNDING MEMBER today!
