About Us

We are a group of like-minded thinkers centered near Philadelphia. We are also among those Americans who would like to see our nation regain its place as a world leader – through leadership, not coercion.

Two of us stepped forward to lead this effort:

Craig Eisendrath, Ph.D.

Craig Eisendrath is a former U.S. Foreign Service Officer and Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Humanities Council. Currently, Dr. Eisendrath is Chairman of the Project for Nuclear Awareness (http://projectfornuclearawareness.org).

An award winning playwright, Dr. Eisendrath is the author of a number of books on foreign affairs, including War in Heaven:  Stopping The Arms Race in Outer Space (New Press, March, 2007); Bush League Diplomacy (Prometheus, 2004), The Phantom Defense: America's Pursuit of the Star Wars Illusion (Praeger, 2001) ; and National Insecurity: U.S. Intelligence after the Cold War (Temple University Press, 2000).
