The Foundation for Rational Economics and Education (FREE) is an American nonprofit, nonpartisan foundation dedicated to public education on the principles of the U.S. Constitution, free-market economics, sound money, limited government, and foreign policy. It was founded in 1976〔 〕 by U.S. Congressman Ron Paul while he was serving on the House Banking Committee, as a vehicle to increase understanding of the economic principles of a free-market society. ==Publications== At its inception, the foundation began publication of a monthly newsletter, ''Dr. Ron Paul's Freedom Report'', which claimed 100,000 subscribers by 1984.〔 It also publishes monographs, books, and (since 1997) a new series of the monthly newsletter, ''Ron Paul's Freedom Report'' (also called just ''The Freedom Report''). In 1989, FREE established the National Endowment for Liberty (NEFL) in order to develop programs that take advantage of electronic media. NEFL developed and produced the ''At Issue'' television series that was seen on the Discovery Network and CNBC,〔 which examines American institutional interaction with Constitutional principles. The endowment has received three grants from the Rodney Fund, operated by Mackinac Center for Public Policy board member James Rodney. FREE also has continuously published 30-second radio spots for economic and social-issue education.〔 In 2006, the organization had Form 990 revenue of $632,396 and net assets of $458,996. It is categorized for tax-exempt purposes as "religious organization", "publishing activities", and "television" (National Taxonomy of Exempt Entities). Its publications are distributed by Partners Publishers Group. FREE obtains graphic design services for its newsletters from Mark Elam, as president of M&M Graphics and Advertising; Elam also printed more politically charged newsletters as an officer of the for-profit group Ron Paul & Associates (RP&A). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Foundation for Rational Economics and Education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
