I hope you will make good use of it." --John Quincy Adams ______----********O********----______ GIVING THANKS This Thanksgiving, we are most grateful to count you among the growing ranks of our Patriot readers. By virtue of your patronage, we know that you are already standing on many frontlines in honor and defense of our nation's proud heritage of justice and liberty. You are Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines standing in harm's way around the world. You are moms, dads and other family members nurturing the next generation of young patriots. You are grassroots leaders and local, state and national officeholders. You are students and professors at colleges and universities, often standing alone for what is good and right. You are employees and employers and professionals. You are in ministry at home and missionaries abroad. You are American Patriots from all walks of life, who "hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Throughout history the burden of keeping the flame of liberty bright has fallen on the shoulders of a few men and women. As Founding Patriot Samuel Adams noted, "It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." That describes YOU! The Federalist Patriot is donor-supported so we can offer our publication without charge to hundreds of thousands of American military personnel, students and those in ministry or other professions with limited financial means. But publishing, like freedom, is not free. We employ the services of 45 feature and content editors, a formidable research and analysis team, technical staff and software writers. Publishing requires technical hardware, installations and offices, etc. We also have substantial legal, accounting and insurance costs. (Please note that members of our National Advisory Committee and many of our Patriot staff serve with little or no compensation.) We are not sustained by any political, special interest or parent organization. We accept no online or e-mail advertising. Our operations and mission are funded by -- and depend entirely upon -- the voluntary financial support of American Patriots like YOU! Our nation is at a critical juncture. Thankfully, President George W. Bush won his reelection bid, and the ranks of conservatives holding national, state and local offices increased substantially. But we face significant socio-political threats to liberty within our borders as well as menacing enemies abroad. If you are able, we need you to join us on one more front. If you have not already done so, please take a moment to support The Patriot today by making a contribution to our 2004 Patriot Fund -- however large or small! As always, it is an honor and privilege to serve you as editor and publisher of The Federalist Patriot. We are humbled to count you among our readers. On behalf of our National Advisory Committee and staff, thank you and God bless you and your family!

"Simply put, The Federalist Patriot cuts through the clutter and delivers timely, accurate, and colorful accounts of the week's most important news and policy issues. It's a mandatory read." --Dr. Richard (Dick) Armey, Former House Majority Leader "The vision and legacy of the Reagan Revolution flourish on the pages of The Federalist Patriot." --Michael Reagan, Syndicated Radio Host "Daniel Webster was right, 'God grants liberty only to those who love it and are always ready to guard and defend it.' Federalist Patriot readers understand that commission." --Larry Arnn, Constitutional Scholar "The Federalist Patriot is a great source for sound conservative opinion." --R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., Editor in Chief, American Spectator "The Federalist Patriot is leading a surprisingly well-organized charge into the world of Internet politics." --Harvard Political Review Lex et Libertas -- Semper Vigilo, Paratus, et Fidelis! Mark Alexander, Publisher, for the editors and staff. (Please pray on this day, and every day, for our Patriot Armed Forces standing in harm's way around the world in defense of our liberty, and for the families awaiting their safe return.)
