We invite supporting organizations to apply our beliefs and principles to their own mission statements. There are many paths that lead to Chicago. Some groups focus on environmental activism, constitutional defense, others on health freedom, use of mercury in drugs, vaccine injuries or human rights. We create the common platform. You create your specific talking points in support and further expansion of the platform. It is this diversity within our community that makes clear we are neither small nor marginal. We are mainstream America and this is an American movement.
