Let Freedom Ring, Inc.

Let Freedom Ring, Inc. (LFR) is a conservative advocacy organization that was set up in 2004 in the United States with a $1 million donation from Dr. John Templeton, Jr., President of the John Templeton Foundation. The organization seeks to promote the neo-conservative agenda led by President George W. Bush, and campaigned actively in favor of keeping troops in Iraq as part of the 'war on terror'. It claimed that the war in Iraq was caused by Al Qaeda. LFR also claimed to be a group standing against political attack ads, while at the same time maintaining that conservatives need to not be fazed by "'mud-slinging' coming from the left." LFR advocated for a fence along the Mexico–United States border and ran attack ads against Obama in 2008.[1] Let Freedom Ring was also involved in organizing the nationwide "Tea Party" protests on April 15, 2009, in part by sending out robocalls to potential participants the day before.[2]

Let Freedom Ring has employed Timothy Goeglein as a consultant and has Colin Hanna as its President.[1]
