Grassroots America’s Mission and Focus
Grassroots America – We the People, Inc. is the largest all volunteer-led constitutional conservative citizen organization in Texas. We are networked with more than 350 conservative America First groups across the state and nation.
Our mission is to unite, educate, and empower American citizens to advance the Cause of Liberty – rooted in Judeo-Christian values, limited government, personal responsibility, good citizenship, defense of traditional family values, and the free market system. We seek a return to the rule of law based on the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. We support sovereign borders for Texas and the United States and have zero tolerance for illegal immigration, which bastardizes the Rule of Law, exploits US citizens, enhances terrorist threats, and weakens public safety. We believe in opportunities for all – with favoritism for none.
Unity around Judeo-Christian values, liberty principles, and measurable results
Grassroots America works closely with statewide and national conservative policy groups and think tanks. Our executive director – JoAnn Fleming – serves as Grassroots America’s liaison with authentic America First groups and is on the frontlines of state policy development and governmental reforms. She serves as a political advisor to officials at the local, state, and federal level and is a regular contributor to state and national political commentary.
Our signature project is the Texas Conservative Grassroots Coalition. The liberty-focused, traditional family-friendly initiatives JoAnn and other Coalition leaders have championed across Texas over the last three decades are alive today in the Republican Party Platform, the State Republican Executive Committee, and in Legislative Priorities for each Session of the Texas Legislature.
Citizen-first Results Matter!
Grassroots America works with its Coalition partners to expose failures in political leadership that impair sound public policy, leading to government expansion and a loss of freedom. Conversely, Grassroots America and its Coalition partners support and defend political leadership that works to restrict government to its constitutional limits, thus advancing individual liberty for all.
Transparency (window into your government) is vital to “Consent of the Governed!”
In 2023, Grassroots America launched its pioneer groundbreaking activist tool created by Brett Rogers at GrassrootsPriorities.com. Conservative citizens used this tool to send more than 350,000 unique personal emails into the Capitol during the 88th and 89th Legislative sessions. GrassrootsPriorities.com is a powerful legislative transparency site with verifiable FACTS about incumbent voting records. Groups, individuals, and candidates may use the tool to conduct their own research at no cost. Republican betrayers in the Texas House are found at HouseofBadCards.com. Consistently principled conservative State Representatives are found at HouseofGoodCards.com.
Legal Structure
In order to take public positions on issues and candidates, Grassroots America is registered with the Texas Ethics Commission as a General Purpose Political Action Committee (GPAC) and with the IRS as a 527 political non-profit. Our required GPAC filings can be found here.
Grassroots America does not raise or bundle campaign contributions for candidates. 97% of donor contributions go to meeting our mission; the remainder is the cost of compliance to legal requirements.
