You: A live wire who thrives on speed, relationships, and results. You’re quicker on the draw than a 1980s Wall Street trader. You live and breathe the news cycle, know what makes a story irresistible, and can get it in front of the right reporter before the competition even sees it coming. You have the instincts of a journalist, the charm of a publicist, and a passion for advancing liberty.  Them: Bureaucrats, city councils, mayors, governors, and federal agencies stripping Americans of their rights every day. There’s a lot of government overreach out there, and it’s backed by seemingly endless resources. But fortunately, like all lumbering giants, abusive government is most vulnerable when countered by individuals who act strategically and nimbly, take calculated risks, have each other’s backs, and are confident in, and passionate for the cause—the very sort of swashbucklers we employ in spades here at PLF.   Us: We fight back.
