Basics Project Website |
|
The project website serves as a central location on the
Internet for a complete summary of information on important issues facing
the American people. It contains facts, overviews, research, analysis and
basic information from all social and political ideologies and provides
links to more comprehensive studies, working models and opinion from
educational organizations and well as think tanks, news publications and
advocacy groups. It streamlines the process of gathering the “basics” on the
pressing issues before our legislators so that “We the People” have a better
opportunity to voice our opinions to them before they enact laws in our
name. |

Terrorism

|
Basics Project has developed (and is further cultivating) a
research and education initiative addressing the threat of aggressive
Islamofascism. This initiative features a
comprehensive research webpage that
features fact-based and first-source information from internationally
renowned experts and Basics project research staff, credible think tanks,
government and non-government organization studies, testimonies and reports,
current legislation and a view from all ideological vantage points in the
form of education, non-propagandized opinion from reliable editorial boards
and advocacy groups. Basics Project partners in
producing a national
symposium series on the threat of Islamofascist aggression, produced at selected locations
around the United States. The symposiums utilize the fact-based
knowledge of invited speakers, regional and national experts on the issue, as well as information acquired through Basics Project’s
research. Speakers are
compensated in part through ticket sales. The general public is welcome.
Basics Project also has initiated a first-of-its-kind
audio CD educational series on
Understanding the Threat of Radical Islam. These CDs are perfect for
listening at home or in the car and are downloadable to MP3 or iPod players.
They are structured to afford those vested in our fast-paced society a
time-efficient, easy-to-understand explanation of the issue while offering
those of the iPod Generation an opportunity to understand this most critical
issue through technology familiar to them. The audio CD series is an
evolving series, updated as information is acquired. |

Constitutional Literacy

|
Currently under development is our educational flagship program,
Constitutional Literacy is being developed using first-source materials
employed in the advanced study of our founding documents – the Charters of
Freedom – including the philosophies championed by those who influenced our
Founding Fathers. It is designed to provide a basic understanding of the
contents of The Declaration of Independence, The US Constitution and The
Bill of Rights, and a fundamental comprehension of why our Founders
addressed each concern held within. |

Examining the American Fifth Column
[click here] |
Basics Project is studying the feasibility of creating a program that would
offer a resource webpage and a program of study examining the many facets of
the American Fifth Column and the danger it poses to the well-being of our
country and our heritage, chronicling the derivation, establishment and
progressive promotion of the American Fifth Column and identifying key
initiatives which pose a very real threat to our country and our American
Heritage.
From its history and influences, to the modern methods employed to advance
the ideology, to the natural consequences of a society that embraces
progressive moral relativism and multiculturalism, Basics Project is
exploring the many challenges associated with creating a comprehensive
research and education program designed to enlighten the American people on
the threats posed by an ideology antithetical to the principles of our
Democratic Republic. |

Cracking the Code
[click here] |
|
Cracking the Code: The New Education Revolution is an initiative of
Basics Project that empowers parents by affording more transparency to the
educational process; prospective and practicing teachers by providing
comprehensive information about the field not covered in education schools;
and finally, anyone who cares about education reform by providing a web
based reference site explaining the “eduspeak” which confounds those not
versed in the field of education. Lack of Communication between parents and
educators results in parents being unable to truly participate in the
education of their children. The goal of Cracking the Code: The New
Education Revolution is to empower parents and people concerned with the
education of our children by providing them the tools to make the best
educational choices for their their communities and our country. |

Internship Program

Basics
Project offers an telecommuting internship program that challenges high
school juniors and seniors to thoroughly research the history, facts,
legislation and testimony on assigned issues relevant to Basics Project's
mission. In addition, interns will be required to research relevant,
thoughtful, fact-based opinion and research from think tanks, editorial
boards and credible advocacy groups. Because of this we believe that being accepted into Basics
Project's Internship Program can be a valuable experience for a young mind.
Candidates for the internship program must have been on their high school
Honor Roll or Dean's List for the past two semesters, have parental consent,
access to a computer and the Internet and be accepted through our
application process. |
