Dear Reader, Bringing to light a judicial witch hunt against conservative groups, halting the probe in its tracks, and changing Wisconsin law to ensure that it can never happen again. Exposing admissions corruption at the University of Texas at Austin, forcing the resignation of UT-Austin's president as well as two official investigations. Uncovering abuse in welfare spending - including the use of dollars meant to help needy families at liquor stores, vacation spots, and marijuana shops - that led to a new state law in Colorado. Holding the Environmental Protection Agency accountable for causing a devastating wastewater spill and attempting to duck responsibility. These are just a few of the most important investigations that the Franklin Center and our team of Watchdog reporters have conducted this year. Across the country, we're providing an essential counterweight to left-wing media bias - and we're getting results! Now, I'd like to ask you to donate to help us continue accruing results like this in 2016. The Franklin Center supports a network of investigative journalists who are strategically focused on state and local government. The stories that we select are local in origin but national in implication. We are convinced that our work at the Franklin Center is a major reason why the states remain such a bright spot for conservatives these days, even as Washington's big-government hubris reaches dizzying new heights. And as you can see, we get results, driving meaningful change in states across the country and handicapping left-wing media by rewriting the policy agenda from the ground up. State by state, our reporters are helping to develop a culture that demands accountability and nourishes freedom and free markets. This year, we've deepened and strengthened our efforts in key target states like Wisconsin and Texas. We've also grown our bench of issue reporters to include dedicated coverage on the key issues of education and school choice, regulation, energy and natural resources, labor and unions, and technology policy - all from a free market, limited government perspective. And we're close partners with National Review, including co-sponsoring the work of star reporter Jillian Melchior. I'm excited for what lies ahead in 2016. And I'd like to invite you to join our more than 3,000 supporters nationwide in building a network of principled journalists who directly challenge the liberal media. Will you consider making a generous year-end donation to help us start the new year strong? Your gift to us is fully tax-deductible, will be matched by a group of donors - and is vital in building a journalism infrastructure that finally provides a solution to liberal media bias. Many thanks, Erik Telford President Franklin Center for Government & Public Integrity |
