INTRODUCTION:
The Liberty News Bureau is the Liberty Research Group's distribution vehicle for America's print and electronic media to receive press releases created by well respected leaders of the Restore America movement. Individuals and participating journalists are welcome to upload their press releases into this repository. Publications can grab these articles for use in their daily or weekly newspapers, bulletins, newsletters, or for placement on their own educational or related web sites, e-bulletins, etc.
Our writers are committed to educating others about the many problems of our Amerian Body Politic. Having a tool to get information into the hands of assorted publications is a valuable asset, and has been something of a "missing link" in the logistics of returning America to first principles. Let's face it--those who have been pulling the strings of the American public for the past generation have done so by controlling the debate in the media. The Liberty News Bureau is one of very few alternative journalism sources.
Our journalists are not concerned with the latest sports scores, the dog show at the civic center, or the newest development in the world of fashion or lingere. Our principle focus is on America's relationship to God, her own people, and her foreign and domestic policies. In a word--POLITICS! We are interested in the inter-relationship between government and people inside the United States of America. We share a concern for the duly constituted governments (local, state and federal), the justice systems, and related subject matter. Public Policy journalism is what we do--and some of the finest writers and researchers available to the Restore America movement will be invited to participate in this forum.

INFO FOR ACTIVISTS:
Following are some things you can do to help the Restore America movement.
1. Contact your local newspaper and point them to this web site.
2. Grab articles from here and submit them to your local media. (By doing so you are helping plant seeds that will grow in the Restore America movement.)
3. Advise other writers you know about this service, and encourage them to submit articles for publication.
4. Help us find the contact points within news media, enabling us to send them notice of the availability of new releases and information. Use our CONTACT form to submit suggestions.
Not everyone is a good writer. (If you are, submit your own writings!) Those with specific expertise are contributing information to THIS News Bureau to help others with education campaigns. Though it may take a generation for us to undo much of the unconstitutional mess that has been created in the previous two generations of drift from our Founding Principles, we must start somewhere. This site is one of those first steps. By countering those who would trade freedom for security with our own hard-hitting media resource, we can contribute to the public discourse and potentially stave off additional drifts toward enslavement. Indeed we might even be able to reverse the trend, as opposed to just slowing the speed with which our nation is steaming toward the cliff!
