The Institute will:</p>
<ul>
<li>Analyze key bills at the committee and floor levels; alert legislators and others via email/print bulletins about bill merits and demerits with appropriate discussion and commentary, so that legislators and the public will ideally be fully informed about the consequences of relevant government actions. </li>
<li>Similarly, alert activists, legislators, journalists, public officials, and other citizens with frequent and brief bulletins (or in some cases, longer analyses) that explain legislative activities.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Produce proposals that can be drafted and filed by legislators, as well as appropriate discussion and commentary on these proposals.</li>
<li>Provide testimony at legislative committee hearings on bills that are especially consistent or inconsistent with the Institute&rsquo;s mission, either directly or via recruitment of experts.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Speak to the media as a source of knowledgeable, nonpartisan commentary on public policy.</li>
<li>More generally, coordinate other activities that inform the public about the virtues of limited and constitutional government, individual freedom, and a free society.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;The&nbsp;<span>Institute is</span>&nbsp;led by its President, attorney and former State Representative Dan Greenberg. If you have questions, please contact us at advancearkansas@gmail.com or (501) 588-4245.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.advancearkansas.org/about-the-institute/rss-comments-entry-10457301.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
