Why James Madison?

by J. Stanley Marshall, Founding Chairman

Mr. Madison said it himself: "I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments by those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."

Silent we are not and silence on matter of public policy in Florida would be an abridgement of our mission.  To keep Floridians informed about their government and to advance practical public policy solutions is the essence of our mission.  James Madison, we believe, would have approved and no name could better suit the Institute.
