It’s easier to follow the political follies (and abort them) when we stay in touch with think tanks and political action groups, working full-time, that provide heads up and mechanisms to get out our messages. North Carolina-focused organizations such as the John Locke Foundation (www.johnlocke.org) and the Civitas Institute (www.nccivitas.org) are two of the best in the Tar Heel state. National groups such as the Heritage Foundation (www.heritage.org), the Heartland Institute (www.heartland.org), Americans for Prosperity (www.americansforprosperity.org) and Freedom Works (www.freedomworks.org) are powerful and reliable sources of information. The last two have statewide affiliates. These principled organizations promote individual freedom and economic opportunities for all citizens. They counter government tyranny with research and activism.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/8CC2EE22-5788-4904-9BBC-4A911E41FB63/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
