"Fighting injustice, one victory at a time."
Rob Sherman Advocacy debuts today.
Rob Sherman Advocacy is a social engineering company that improves many aspects of our lives by getting public policy changed.
Rob Sherman Advocacy features projects and information. It is supported by sponsors.
"Projects" consist of many of the social betterment issues that I have been involved in during the past thirty years, plus new ones. Four examples of those projects are:
The We
Need Seat Belts Project is dedicated to getting seat belts on all forms of public
transportation, especially school busses, but also inter-city busses (like
Greyhound), transit busses (like the Chicago Transit Authority), railroad
trains (like Amtrak), commuter trains, rapid transit trains (like elevated
and subway trains) and police patrol ("paddy") wagons. We
Need Seatbelts is part of the Transportation Project, which will
address a variety of transportation issues.
The National Motto
Project is dedicated to getting our national motto changed from "In God
We Trust," a motto which divides and polarizes the country along
religious lines, to "United We Stand," a motto which we can all
subscribe to.
The First Amendment
Project is dedicated to maintaining a wall of separation between state and
church, protecting religious freedom, protecting free speech rights, and
protecting the right of citizens to seek a redress of grievances from
government without being subject to retaliation.
The Broadband Project is dedicated to getting lower rates and better service for cable television and cable internet users.
"Information" consists of Liberal News and Commentary, my cable television show and my internet radio talk show. These services will inform you of what projects I am working on and the progress that I am making on those projects. They will also offer commentary on other hot social and political issues of the day.
Rob Sherman Advocacy will be a for-profit organization, supported by sponsors like you.
Here is the reason why you should sponsor Rob Sherman Advocacy, and why it will be a for-profit organization:
Internal Revenue
Service rule 501(c)(3) allows non-profit, non-political, educational
organizations to be tax exempt. These tax-exempt organizations are
allowed to provide services to their members and to the public, but they are
not allowed to engage in political advocacy, such as lobbing for or against
legislation or supporting or opposing candidates for public office.
Most of the issues that I have been addressing for the past thirty years do not deal with whether rights are already protected by law. Rather, I deal with issues where change requires a political remedy, where a law needs to be passed or a policy changed. Getting those changes requires political involvement. Not-for-profit organizations are prohibited by law from doing that, but many times, political involvement is what's needed to solve a problem. Rob Sherman Advocacy, by being for-profit, can do the things in the political arena that non-profits are prohibited by law from doing. I can advocate changes in laws or policies when I meet with public and private policy makers to make our lives better.
Sponsors are people like you who support this work through one-time, annual or monthly contributions. Instead of getting a tax deduction, you get effectiveness and accomplishment.
If you support the types of projects that I have outlined above, please become a sponsor. Most of the projects that I will be working on are things that nobody else is doing, such as the seat belt project and the national motto project. Please become a sponsor if you'd like to see these types of things happen.
If you trust my judgment, if you feel that these projects merit attention and if you have confidence in my ability to accomplish the goals of these projects, please become a sponsor.
If you wish you could do these projects, yourself, but you don't have either the time, communications skills or contacts to get the job done, I will do them for you. Please become a sponsor.
Here is another reason to become a sponsor: I'll set up a link to your web site within the Sponsor section of Rob Sherman Advocacy. Visitors to my web site are encouraged to patronize sponsors who offer a product or service that they use. If you don't already have your own web site, I'll set up a web page for you within Rob Sherman Advocacy, at no cost to you, and then set up a link to it from the Sponsor section of Rob Sherman Advocacy. You'll have your own unique web address, so you can publicize your web site independently and have your customers go directly to your page without visiting any of my other web pages first. You'll be able to say, do or promote just about anything you want, within reason. I decide what's within reason.
If you prefer to contribute anonymously, that's OK, too. Most contributors request anonymity. Either approach is much appreciated.
