Center for Individual Freedom
- Center for Individual Freedom
The Center for Individual Freedom is an Alexandria, Virginia based U.S. policy advocacy organization founded on the principle of securing individual freedoms as embodied in the United States Constitution and state constitutions. It was founded in 1998 and tends to focus on neoconservative and Republican/libertarian values. The group focuses on three activities: legal - the center supports litigation in support of its beliefs, legislative - the center seeks to speak out on bills and laws which it feels strongly about, and educational - the center publishes articles and sponsors seminars seeking to explain its position and strengthen its support among Americans. On its website CFIF claims that it "relies on private financial support from individuals, associations, foundations and corporations."
The Center for Individual Freedom is a member of the Townhall.com consortium [http://www.townhall.com/townhall/content_partners.html] .
The CFIF is involved with "strict constructionist" activities regarding judicial and legislative issues. The organization maintains Freedom Line, a radio interview show and We The People, a supposedly grassroots organizing effort dedicated to "conservative" causes.
In August 2004, the Center for Individual Freedom briefly gained national attention when it tried to launch a national grassroots campaign against what it called a "tasteless anti-American marketing scheme" from a German subsidiary of the American based Subway restaurant chain. The CFIF claimed the stores featured advertisements including cartoon parodies of the 9/11 terror attacks, as well as using derogatory German slurs to for Americans.Fact|date=June 2008
In 2006 the CFIF set letters to millions of senior citizens telling the UN was preparing to impose a global tax to fund Communist programs and that the CFIF could stop them but only if they were sent enough donations.Fact|date=June 2008
