Freedoms Watch Non Profit Lobbying Group

Freedoms Watch is a non profit lobbying group that is partly run and organized by the former officials of the George Bush administration. The group has stated that its goal is - educating individuals about and advancing public policies that protect Americas interests at home and abroad, foster economic prosperity, and strengthen families.

Freedoms Watch takes an aggressive stature while supporting Bushs actions regarding various foreign policy issues and writes in its website-Those who want to quit while victory is possible have dominated the public debate about terror and Iraq since the 2004 election. Freedom's Watch is going to change that. The group which is based in Washington DC got registered as a 501(c)(4) non- profit organization on September 17, 2007. 501(c)(4) is a provision of the United States Internal Revenue Code referring to various political education organizations.

Freedoms Watch aggressively supports President George Bushs actions, especially on those where he faces the maximum opposition. The group advocates bushs take on Iraq and claims that his Iraq War policies should be supported by all Americans without political bias. The group has tried to prove that the 9/11 attacks were somehow related to Iraq and hence Bushs actions are just. Although whether it is true or not, is yet to be confirmed.

Freedoms Watch has mirrored Bushs opinion in another controversial issue- on Iran. The group claims that Iran is a common enemy to USA and Israel and that, to save Israel nation, America should attack Iran. The group has stated that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is another Hitler in the making and thus an appropriate action against Iran is reasonable.

Freedoms Watch since August 2007 has started aggressive advertising campaign trying to steer public opinion in Bushs favor. The group has affirmed the Americans that victory is the only choice for Bush Government i.e. ultimately the Iraq War will be a success story and the failure of Vietnam War will not be repeated. The ad campaign budget is in millions. The ads rolled out upon these announcements focused on sacrifices being made by U.S. troops and their families.

The group has faced criticism from many sources and has been blamed for being heavily biased in favor of Bush party. The group has been accused of being manipulated by Jewish organizations which are trying to convince USA to take strict action against Iran which would safeguard Israel. The group has been also blamed for linking Iraq War to September 11 attacks without having sound proofs. Many have raised objections against the advertisements made by Freedoms Watch as factually inappropriate and misleading. Wikipedia
