About Americans for Job Security
Since our founding more than ten years ago Americans for Job Security (AJS) has been at the forefront of an explosion of the marketplace of ideas. During this time AJS has put forth a pro-growth, pro-jobs message to the American people.
From the beginning our message has been a simple one: free markets and pro-paycheck public policy are fundamental to building a strong economy and creating more and better paying jobs.
We have always believe that the most effective issue advocacy message is one that drives the debate. Americans tend to only really focus on public policy issues when it is time for them to make a decision and that is why issue advocacy advertisements around elections are important. It is at that time that people are paying attention to the major issues of the day.
AJS is focused on driving the debate in the places where politicians, decision makers and the media are focused. However, in order to be considered a major issue of the day it must be in play in the marketplace of ideas. Likewise, AJS believes that it is important that we be actively discussing trade, education reform, tax reform, energy policy, and such other public policy issues long before concerned citizens are ready to focus on such weighty topics.
The two major parties, and their candidates for office, react to the marketplace of ideas, they do not drive it.
