Marcus,

These aims can be found on of their three sites, the BWMA Online one. (I even 
think they have four sites as I suspect that the Inch Perfect site is also a 
BWMA one).   
Go to  http://www.bwmaonline.com
where you enter the homepage; go down the page and you will find their aims, 
copied by John as they are,

Han

John, where did this come from?  Did you obtain it from one of their own
websites or are these your own wordings?  Regardless, I'd like to share
some opinions on them here (more below).

???  "Cogent arguments... findings of 'research and analysis'... 'hard
evidence'"?  :-S  Ha...  How?  That would be a first.

? '...force' reversals, eh?  So much for defending freedom...  With this
line down the toilet *definitely* go arguments put forth by the likes of
'freedomtomeasure.org'...  ;-)
