Sam Adams Alliance
The Sam Adams Alliance was a Chicago group that functioned from 2007 to 2012. It claimed to promote political activity among citizens at a grass root level. The goals of the organization included government accountability, government transparency, property rights protection, fiscal responsibility, free speech, and citizen initiative and referendum rights.[1]
According to a 2010 article in AlterNet, the Alliance provides over 75 percent of the funding for the libertarian conservative group American Majority.[2]
