Loyal 9 Questions and Answers

WHO IS BEHIND LOYAL 9?

No one is BEHIND Loyal 9? You and all of us TOGETHER are Loyal 9. No sponsors, no affiliations, no parties, no PACs. Truly grassroots, Loyal 9 began with five friends who got together and realized that each felt powerless alone to stop the desecration of our Constitution in our laws. Now we are fighting together instead of alone. In one year, Loyal 9 has spread from these five friends to 36 states and counting.

HOW IS LOYAL 9 DIFFERENT?

There are many, many voices in blogs, radio, social media, friends spreading the word on the danger we are in -- and that fire needs to continue to grow. There are also many grassroots action sites that provides instant opportunities to act, but these are usually tied to a specific issue, such as guns or taxes or "conservative principals." Loyal 9 is the only organization so far that we find that is the Bill of Rights, no more, no less. In seconds, we make you aware when our Bill of Rights is in danger. In seconds, you can do something about it. Afterward, we let you know how your rep voted and you let him or her know that you know. We can no longer be blind and bamboozled.

CAN OUR VOICES REALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Our combined voices are the ONLY thing that works. Two examples: Combined outrage turned back what the legislators thought was a slam dunk to control the internet (HR 3261: SOPA). Another example is our pushing the NSA out of our lives. Two years ago a bill to control the NSA failed after only gaining a handful of votes. One year later, a new bill failed, but this time by only a few votes. Now, the momentum is growing.

What has changed, has it been their conversion by our representatives? The thing at has changed is that people are awakening.

DO FORM LETTERS REALLY GET COUNTED BY OUR OFFICIALS?

Our former senate staffer consultants both have told us the same thing. A senator or rep considers each letter as representing ONE THOUSAND OTHER VOTERS who haven't bothered to vote. And the senate staffers both say that indeed the senators care which way the voter wind blows. Senator Evan Bayh, as he retired, said that reelection is the ONLY thing they cared about. That is the exponential power of our letters.

WHY DOES LOYAL 9 CHARGE THREE DOLLARS A MONTH?

We need to keep this thing running and growing. What we don't want to do, though, is to fund this movement off of advertising, cluttering the work with ads for "miracle testosterone boosters." We don't want the ad company cookies tracking you. We don't want to be in a place where we have to pander or could be "bought." We appreciate those of you who have wondered why you can't pay even more.

Thanks to your support, we have the server space, software, top-of-the-line programming to build a private and secure infrastructure to organize Loyal 9 (our spouses are grateful it is not all out of our own pockets finally). Further, we are spreading the word by turning our popular video, "The White House Tells the Truth," into a series. We are currently saving to put up a billboard to be seen by 50 thousand people a day. As always, most of the content is also available for free because everyone needs to know what is going on.

HOW DO I UNSUBSCRIBE IF I CHOOSE TO?

Easy. Click on the prominently featured "Cancel Subscription" link on your My Account page, and that takes care of that. The credit card company is notified to collect no further charges from that time on, and you continue to receive your advanced access until your current month is ended.

I VALUE MY PRIVACY AND SECURITY. HOW DO I KNOW THAT MY INFORMATION IS SECURE?

We do too. That is why we collect so little. We promise to never sell, share or trade your name and info. As far as your credit card info is concerned, we don't store it here at Loyal 9, instead we send it directly to our certified processor.

WHAT DOES "LOYAL 9" MEAN?

The original Loyal 9 were the original Sons of Liberty from pre-revolutionary history. See the ABOUT US link for more on their story. They are our heroes and examples in that they realized that it was no longer enough to just talk and complain and hope things would get better. The rest, as the saying goes, is history. May we live to be worthy of their inheritance.
