A brief answer for now:
We are national (as in the US only) but non-partisan and non-sectarian. We will be producing our own very user friendly, approachable and tiered educational materials that are appealing and are easily understandable to average Americans who are not currently involved in activism or experts in the various fields we address (foreign policy, economy, currency, constitution based government, etc..). We hope to empower the electorate quickly with a solid knowledge base about the major issues we face and their relevance to the individual's day to day life. That way they will be equipped to make logical and educated voting and activism decisions for themselves. We will also be promoting continuous education among those who already have some knowledge of these principals to make us better ambassadors for the message going forward. We will be taking our materials and putting them into people's hands through mailings, door to door canvassing of neighborhoods, advertisements, underwritten educational programming on tv, merchandise, sponsored events and through our website which will put clear information at people's fingertips.
I am not familiar with all of the organizations you list (I did take a few minutes to look at each one I had not seen before in brief) but those that I am familiar with on the whole fall into one of these categories; they do not actively pursue the American people with their information (people have to find them/come to them), activism is a primary focus (rather than really giving people enough of an education that they can take well-informed action on their own initiative), their focus is very narrow..in some cases one issue, their information is presented like an academic journal or heavy news site format instead of in a fun-visually appealing way, the site would require hours of time to even begin to grasp the issues that they are discussing and there is not much introductory level information available.
Please respond back if you disagree but I have been looking at a lot of other sites to see what is out there and haven't found anything that is much like Freedom's Ground.
