Forcing government bureaucrats to review government contractors’ political ideologies doesn’t help prevent corruption. It simply provides contracting officials with an easy way to choose winners and losers based on politics.

The Institute for Free Speech promotes and defends the First Amendment rights to freely speak, assemble, publish, and petition the government.

Our dedicated professional staff works tirelessly to protect political speech under the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment.
