The Jefferson Project
The Publishers of Mr. Jefferson's Challenge have created this page to highlight obscure, yet valuable, political and cultural Web links. While we will include some popular links that are key resources for our readers, most represent rare or unique perspectives. If you are interested in including your link to this page, please send us an e-mail by clicking on this link.
The Jefferson Project
http://www.stardot.com/jefferson/
The Jefferson Project Web Page is quickly becoming a standard resource for political junkies and activists on the Internet. The page includes well-indexed links to the full spectrum of political resources available on the Internet...from traditional to radical parties, movements, and citizens. The site also includes a search engine to facilitate your research.
The Online Activism Resources and Groups Pages
http://www.eff.org/pub/Activism/activ_resource.faq
Thanks to the efforts of Matthew Gaylor and Stanton McCandlish, these Online Activism Web Pages provide exhaustive listings of resources and groups, respectively, for the online political activist. These listings include Usenet Newsgroups, Internet mailing lists, Web Sites, and other resources.
Thomas Jefferson on Politics & Government
http://pages.prodigy.com/J/E/S/jefferson_quotes/
This site contains a collection of over 900 excerpts, arranged by topic, that summarize Jefferson's political philosophy. The site includes related features designed to advance the cause of freedom. Eyler Robert Coates, Sr., a subscriber to the Mr. Jefferson's Challenge newsletter and public forum, administers the page.
The Jolly Roger
http://jollyroger.com/beaconway/jollyroger.html
The Jolly Roger Web Page is a twisted maze of political and social diatribes from young American writers, poets, and other artists. Proclaimed as the "Flagship of the 'Grungeservative' Renaissance," The Jolly Roger projects a healthy disdain for liberal academia, the traditional press, and "Generation X" stereotypes. Interspersed among these unique offerings, the visitor is encouraged to purchase classic American novels at ridiculously-low prices from "Beaconway Press." The brain child of Elliot "Ahab" McGucken, it's unclear whether he is trying to launch a non-traditional publishing house, or advance his own view of political America...perhaps both...perhaps neither. The visitor may also join the "Blackbeard's Cabin" mailing list, after selecting his or her "pirate" screen name.The Jolly Roger Web Page highlights the real potential for the World Wide Web during the 21st Century. The Web offers citizens of America and the World an opportunity to bypass traditional media and publishing companies, and take their message directly to the People. The Jolly Roger is certainly worth a visit, and worthy of close watch over the next few years. Mr. Jefferson's Challenge thus selects The Jolly Roger Web Page as the "Editor's Pick" for February.
The Internet Pearls Index of Government Links
http://www.execpc.com/~wmhogg/govlinks.html
While the Publishers of this Web Site have clearly labored exhaustively to provide a service for Internet users, and have done so successfully, the site illustrates more than any other we have found an American Government run amuck! Highlighting that government bureaucracy is truly staggering, govlinks provides several hundred Web links to Federal, State, and local government departments and agencies. The Publishers of Mr. Jefferson's Challenge wonder, however, whether the American People really need 22 separate links to the Department of Energy, or 44 links to the U.S. Geological Survey. If you believe that social and political change will occur through "petitioning your government," then this is the site for you.
Jeff Chan's Libertarian Resources Web Page
http://www.portal.com/~chan/libertarian/libertarian.html
Our thanks to Jeff Chan for creating this listing of libertarian organizations and resources. The site includes information on local and national Libertarian Party activities, and non-Party libertarian movements. Jeff also administers several related Internet mailing lists; subscription information is available at the Web Site. A unique feature of the site is that it provides definitions of often-used, but poorly understood, libertarian terms. This is certainly the place to start for fledgling American defenders of liberty on the Internet.
