Less Government, Individual Responsibility, And — With God's Help — A Better World

We are often asked . . .

 
What do we believe?

We believe that our system of government, a Constitutional Republic, is the finest yet developed by man.
 
We believe that the laissez-faire free market system provides the widest opportunity and highest standard of living for all.
 
We believe in the rights of the individual. The Society welcomes and enjoys the participation of members from every walk of life and all ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds. Our common bond is a love for our heritage of liberty and a rejection of totalitarianism in any of its forms.

 
What do we do?

We initiate letter-writing, literature-distribution, and petition campaigns.
 
We offer an impressive array of authoritative speakers who make hundreds of appearances annually before public audiences.
 
We operate a series of summer camps for young people to develop their understanding of their heritage.
 
We organize seminars and briefings to present the Americanist perspective on issues of importance to business and professional leaders.
 
We distribute our own and other worthwhile book titles through our nationwide chain of bookstores.
 
We direct networks of local ad hoc committees that enable members and nonmembers to work together on specific issues, e.g., reducing taxes and government spending, and stopping foreign aid.

Our research department services authors, journalists, scholars, businessmen, and politicians from a variety of unique resources.

Our affiliated corporations publish important and timely books and The New American, a biweekly magazine.

Are we effective?

Political analysts have credited the defeat of incumbents who consistently advocate more government to the educational efforts of our members.

Where we have publicized the voting records, there has often been measurable improvement.

Pro-world government initiatives such as the Declaration of INTERdependence have been repudiated.

Domestic terrorists have been exposed and stopped by our efforts.

The federal Law Enforcement Assistance Administration, a major step toward federalizing police power, was abolished.

Dangerous pieces of legislation that would have eroded God-given rights protected by the Constitution have been rebuffed.

But, our most important success has been the creation of a broad base of understanding among the American people.

 
How are we unique?

Members are organized in a nationwide network of local chapters to implement agenda items outlined in our monthly Bulletin. This concerted action, focused on key issues, makes an impact greater than our numbers might otherwise create.

Members have the unique advantage and added tool of a professional field staff, working at the local level, providing guidance and assistance in every aspect of the Society's programs.

The John Birch Society's whole purpose is to awaken and inform our fellow Americans, and to stimulate the action necessary to preserve our precious heritage. We possess the essential ingredients for success: organized effort and a proven methodology to stop collectivist programs.

We invite your participation in our efforts to build a future in which the principles of limited government, economic freedom, traditional values, and individual responsibility can be restored.
