Perhaps your busy life has kept you from noticing the very serious threats facing our country, or you’ve noticed, but feel powerless to help push back.

Act on your patriotic urges by joining the Institute for Objective Policy Assessment (IOPA – policytalk.org) 20-24 Club. With a $20-$24 monthly commitment you help IOPA’s world-class scholars develop powerful policy reform ideas, ESPECIALLY for the two most pressing – formally declared – threats to the USA’s founding ideals and our ability to defend still the greatest country that has ever existed: 1) 51 “Nation at Risk” low-performing K-12 systems; and 2) The federal debt cliff – we are at the edge. IOPA also values in-kind contributions such as networking and sharing of ideas. If ‘$20-$24 Club’ is not clickable, click the DONATE button in the header above.

The 20-24 Club offers benefits beyond helping you scratch that deep patriotic itch. A long-time CEO – now on the IOPA Board – said that IOPA founder and president, Dr. John Merrifield, is the best sounding board he’s ever used. So, a benefit of 20-24 Club membership is at least one free ½ hour sounding board session with Dr. Merrifield. Members also get IOPA Logo stickers, lapel pins, a T-shirt, and an IOPA e-mail address (yourname@policytalk.org). Members’ incoming messages will forward to the address they’re used to monitoring. We are developing additional benefits.
