"Let Freedom Ring, Inc." to Promote Positive Political Agenda, Counter George Soros and Anti-Bush 527's
"Let Freedom Ring, Inc." is a new non-profit, grassroots organization supporting the Conservative agenda and countering the efforts of Democrat 527 organizations like MoveOn.org, The Media Fund and America Coming Together.
West Chester, PA (PRWEB) May 25, 2004 -- Conservative activist and former
Chester County PA Commissioner Colin A. Hanna announced today the formation of a
new national grassroots organization, Let Freedom Ring, Inc., to counter the
millions of dollars being spent to attack and discredit President Bush by
leftist organizations supported by billionaire George Soros, Hollywood liberals
and others.
“Let Freedom Ring will promote a positive political
philosophy based upon respect for Constitutional principles, economic freedom
and traditional values,” said Hanna, President of the non-profit
organization.
"We think that Americans are basically positive and
optimistic, and want to be inspired rather than repelled by politics. That's why
Let Freedom Ring will not engage in negative personal or partisan political
attacks," said Hanna. "We want to reach out to patriotic Americans, especially
people of faith, and encourage them not to let mud-slinging by the left turn
them off to our political process."
"We will not be simply a conservative
version of MoveOn.org and The Media Fund. We will not engage in attacking
Senator Kerry the way those organizations attack President Bush. Instead, we
will promote the basic values of freedom, fairness, compassion, responsibility
and global leadership that distinguish America as the ‘shining city on a hill’
that President Reagan spoke of so proudly. Let Freedom Ring will fund the
creation of television commercials, videos, documentaries, web campaigns, voter
registration drives and citizen mobilization efforts that will reinforce these
values and inspire a new generation of Americans to participate actively in our
political process by reminding them of the issues that we all care
about."
"We're fortunate to have already received
gifts and pledges exceeding one million dollars, and as we seek to raise more,
hopefully much more, we think that our positive message will strike a responsive
chord in the hearts of Americans everywhere and be uplifting in the entire
public policy debate," said Hanna.
Billionaire George Soros and other
wealthy liberals sympathetic to the Democratic party have pledged to spend
hundreds of millions of dollars to attempt to destroy President Bush's
credibility in their effort to ensure his defeat this November. Soros said that
driving George W. Bush out of office had become "the central focus" of his life,
betraying a level of vindictiveness seldom seen in American politics.
Organizations like MoveOn.org and The Media Fund have benefited from such
funding to create viciously negative political advertising including two spots
made for televisison that tried to draw parallels between President Bush and
Adolph Hitler. Although the groups call themselves "Progressive," their focus
appears to be entirely personal and negative against President Bush, without
proposing a philosophical alternative.
"We think that American voters
are tired of negative campaigning and deceptive attack advertising, and that
they will quickly embrace a new player on the political field committed to a
positive, upbeat, optimistic presentation of political issues," Hanna
said.
