Hello John,
We hope you enjoyed a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend with family and friends, reflecting on the many blessings we have as citizens of this great nation.
Today is Giving Tuesday: a global day of generosity when citizens like you turn gratitude into action and invest in the causes that will shape the future we all share.
At ISI, we believe the best way to say “thank you” is not only to reflect on where we came from, but also to envision our future. That’s why, on this Giving Tuesday, we’re asking you to join the America 500 campaign

.
In 2026, our country will celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. As we remember the vision of the Founders, we must also lay the groundwork for the next 250 years of American greatness and goodness.
For over seventy years, ISI has identified, educated, mentored, and launched the next generation of conservative leaders grounded in the permanent things. With the America 500 campaign
