The Abigail Adams
Project…
A little matter will move a
party
but it must be something great that moves a
nation.
~Thomas Paine
…Something Great!
Over the last few years we have received a multitude of phone calls, letters and emails from
women all over the United States. While each correspondence has its own personal message the underlying
theme is the same. The women of America want a voice in the direction our nation is heading and they know
the best way to express their concerns and have their voice heard is through their vote. However, letter
after letter tells us that the women of America are extremely frustrated. The source of their frustration
is simple—lack of information.
As mothers and
homemakers, we are so involved in our children’s lives that it often makes it difficult to stay informed on the
candidates, issues, or our local government. Women have asked us over and over for help and support and
Homemakers for America is answering their call with the launch of the Abigail Adams Project—and it
won’t just benefit women. The Abigail Adams project will be a major asset to every American who goes to the
polls on Election Day. It is the power of information in our hands, and that is the power that We the
People were always meant to have.
How Does it Work?
The Abigail Adams Project
will create a websource of information during
election cycles on who the candidates are and where they stand
on the key issues from the President of the United States all the way down to the school board in every city,
county and state in the nation.
The
information we be compiled by sending out surveys to candidates running for office. The survey will have
12-15 questions each candidate will be asked to answer. We will then take that information and put it on
the web for all to see. HFA will organize a team of volunteers all over the country to help us identify
candidates, compile the information and then get it out to the public.
And
when candidates don’t return their surveys, we will send emails to the citizens in the district to let them know
which candidates didn’t return surveys and they can give them a call and ask why. In the end, we will have
to assume that those candidates who don’t answer the questions don’t want us to know who they are. And if
they don’t want us to know who they are then we don’t give them their vote.
The Candidates We
Seek
The
Abigail Adams will truly revolutionize the Election process. No longer will candidates have to belong to a
Party or have a treasure chest of money. They just have to be the kind of candidate we the people
seek.
We
don't want any more politicians in Washington or anywhere else in this country. We want
statesmen – men and women who understand the fundamental principles and guiding values this nation
was founded on, men and women who have the courage to stand up for those principles no matter what the cost. We
want leaders with integrity and moral character who are willing to sacrifice their lives, fortunes and sacred
honor for the public good – men and women who are committed to fighting for a cause that is
greater than themselves. That is what we want. And that is why HFA introduced the Abigail Adams
Project—so we can find them.
The Power of
Information
At
HFA, we believe it is the right of every individual to decide for themselves who they will support and who they
will vote for. But we also recognize there is a great need to provide a place where we the people can receive truthful, unbiased answers on issues and
candidates. James Madison once said, “A popular Government, without
popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both.
Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves
with the power which knowledge gives.”
That is what the Abigail Adams Project
is all about—helping the women of America arm themselves with the power of information.
Hungering for Information
HFA
has received numerous emails and letters from women all over the country asking for our help. One woman
wrote:
“I decided to take the HFA challenge and have
my voice heard in the Primary election. I took your suggestion to go early so I wouldn’t forget as my busy
schedule unfolded. I got to the precinct around 8:00 am and scanned through the ballot in utter
frustration. I had no idea what Issue 7 was and I didn’t know which candidate best represented my
values. Which candidate was pro-life, pro-family? How do voters know which candidate is for lower
taxes and support constitutional rights such as freedom of religion and the right to bear arms? Isn’t there any place we can find this
information?”
Doesn’t this information already
exist?
Sadly,
the answer is no. There is no one place where women can find this information on a national, state and
local level. There are pieces of this information available in various places throughout the internet and
in localized support groups but we rarely have the time it takes to look for it and the task is overwhelming. We
are so busy with our homes and families that we just don’t have the amount of time it takes to search for and
find all of this information.
“Remember the
Ladies”
In
1776 in a letter to her husband John, Abigail Adams urged her husband to “remember the ladies”. And so, in
her name sake, the Abigail Adams Project does just that. With a resource like this,
American voters will finally be able to vote principles and values and not just party. We will have the power of
information right at our finger tips. With one click of the mouse we will know which candidates are pro-life,
pro-family and pro-America!
While
the Abigail Adams Project provides an indispensable resource during election cycles, the benefits are far more
reaching than just that. As the database grows it will be expanded to include general information on the
electoral process, key terms and procedures. It will also include information on who your elected leaders
are, where they stand on the issues, as well as contacts and websites for your local government. Homemakers
for America will also work with local HFA members to establish support groups in an effort to provide a more
localized resource for women to become informed and actively involved in their local government and
community.
The
Abigail Adams Project provides women with the information they need to play an active, productive role as
citizens, without sacrificing their homes and families and puts the power of information back in the hands of
the people where it belongs; for as Thomas Jefferson stated, “Whenever the people are
well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government.”

"I remember when my two
boys were younger, more spirited, and driving me nearly to distraction thinking that I would never be able to
figure out all the issues that were important to me when election day rolled around. I wish that I had at my
fingertips the resources of the Abigail Adams project. Thank Goodness it's available now for stay-at-home Mom's
and working women, too."

“The
Homemakers for America "Abigail Adams Project" is very important for America. It is helping those who build
our homes and families to also build our nation. The values upon which this great country was founded are
rapidly being undermined, therefore your involvement is urgently needed.”
