**UPDATE -** We do not "like" the Meetup platform BUT understand and accept these platforms are "where the people are", SO, we are revisiting using this platform to help us grow the American Spirit MARKETPLACE! We will send you a link to join the American Spirit MARKETPLACE which is a leading Conservative endeavor as you'll learn from reading below... [https://americanspiritmarketplace.com/](https://americanspiritmarketplace.com/) HERE is where you JOIN our "MEETUP" group!!  Do you support **American Exceptionalism**, **Free Market Capitalism** and want **LESS Government interference** in your daily life? If YES, then you "GET IT" and we welcome you to join the American Spirit MARKETPLACE. We are dedicated to helping each other in the areas of **Community Commerce, Business Networking, Employment, Idea-sharing, and Education**. IF this sounds good to you then this is THE "Movement" that will help us come together in a simple, yet powerful way with something that is easy to do daily to help us in our everyday lives within our local communities. Our founding principles mirror those our country was founded and framed upon and it is our intent to support each other in the very same SPIRIT of our founding.  PLEASE read along to learn more.  Thank you and stay tuned for future meetings to learn how you can REALLY start helping others in our local community who share our same values and American Spirit! ## **MISSION STATEMENT** The American Spirit MARKETPLACE is committed to fostering a vibrant community where citizens who uphold Conservative principles can collaborate and thrive in the areas of **Commerce**, **Employment**, **Business-networking**, **Education**, and **Idea-sharing**. ## **VISION STATEMENT** The vision of the American Spirit MARKETPLACE is to **build America’s leading Conservative movement** with members committed to supporting each other which will help to preserve and even enhance our members’ prosperity and security during good times and bad times. ## **PROMISE STATEMENT** The American Spirit MARKETPLACE promises to provide an environment that is a **positive experience for our members**. Here is what gets us "FIRED UP"! \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* DISCLAIMER:  We are not a political movement per se but rather a principled movement of empowerment that is rooted in principles of Conservatism.  Our underlying theme and motivation revolves around all that is American Exceptionalism; is America the best that she can be?  Yes, we draw a very clear distinction between "Liberalism" and "Conservatism" and we believe Liberalism holds us back from an Exceptional America. For example, the American Spirit MARKETPLACE will not be fund-raising for candidates or participating in other activist-centered activities outside of our membership group. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* We believe America truly is Exceptional and that principles of Conservatism paved the way for our Exceptionalism - beginning with the Founders and continuing throughout our history. We are concerned that America and the IDEA of American Exceptionalism is slipping away, right in front of our eyes. We believe there is an escalating battle between the ideologies of Liberalism and Conservatism and we fear Conservatism may be losing this battle. We believe Liberalism is at the root of most things that ail America and hold us back from achieving Exceptional results for our Exceptional society. We believe it will be, that it has to be, principles of Conservatism that will help America get straightened out and on the road to recovery. We believe the very SPIRIT of America has been hurt.  Frustrations are growing, especially among those who KNOW in their minds and their hearts, beyond the shadow of any doubt, that they, that WE are part of the solution. We are NOT part of the problem. We are convinced that most of us feel the same way but we just aren't quite sure what we can do “**to make a difference**”.  Oh, there’s plenty of movements, aren't there?  And there are plenty of people seeking your “support” for a cause.  Perhaps there really is something “simple” but very powerful each of us can do that helps us reinvigorate the very SPIRIT of America starting right within our own communities?  And if there is, what’s the catalyst?  What’s the vehicle that gets us there? And then one day it hit us, literally stopping us in our tracks as it dawned on us that the greatest "asset" available to us in the struggle (or battle) against Liberalism is the American Free Enterprise system!  Our free markets were established on Conservative principles producing the greatest economy in the history of the world. The very essence and driving force of the American Spirit MARKETPLACE revolves around a very simple but profound concept of **"Keeping Conservative Dollars in Conservative Pockets®" - Our members 'get it' - when it comes to American Exceptionalism, we are not part of the problem, we are the solution and we are focused on empowering and supporting each other.** We are encouraging YOU to join us so we can support each other in **Community Commerce, Employment, Business Networking, Idea Sharing and Education**.  Where can we do this?  Attend an American Spirit Movement meeting and you will learn more about what we are doing to really make a difference!!  America truly IS Exceptional.
