Goals for our networking feeds/affiliations:

Their mission and operating principles should reflect focus and illustrate moral and ethical foundations

Information collection, data handling and sharing or selling:

  • Information should not be shared or sold without consent of individuals
  • If affiliated in a network of groups, contact information and data should be pushed out to the local level, warehoused centrally only for back-up purposes, and rare communications to entire list for agreed upon purposes that serve interests of overall network only.

Fundraising purposes, handling:

  • Non-profit filing or status should be declared if it exists
  • Treasurer name should be listed
  • Note why funds are being raised, how funds are to be used

Special thanks to Grassroots in Nebraska and Constitutional Liberty Coalition for providing the original work on laying a proper foundation for our networking relationships.

It is our expectation that all of our relationships will be reciprocal in nature.  OKGrassroots editors strive to credit sources appropriately and specifically request clarity on incoming documents and feeds.
