Small Change to Help Keep the Publius Project Independent
When I started this, the goal was simple.
Help regular citizens think seriously again about self-government, constitutional limits, civic responsibility and what it would take to restore a republic that feels increasingly managed by people who no longer answer to us.
That mission isn’t changing.
But the project is growing and I want to build it the right way.
That means no corporate sponsors.
No political party money.
No political action committee money.
No donor-class leashes.
No chasing stupid algorithms just to stay visible.
I’m building this the natural way.
So, I’ve added paid subscription options for readers who want to support the project and help keep it independent.
Most of the core writing will remain public.
The major essays, the Restoration Papers, the upcoming King for a Year series, civic education pieces, and public facing arguments are meant to be read, shared, debated, and challenged. I don’t want the basic work of civic restoration hidden behind a wall.
Paid supporters will help fund the project and receive some extras along the way: early access to major essays, supporter discussions, Q&A threads, behind-the-scene-drafts, topic input, and eventually downloadable essay collections and special publications like the upcoming Modern Federalist: A Plain-Language Guide to the Ideas Behind the Constitution.
But this isn’t about creating a private club. It’s about keeping a public project independent.
If you stay a free subscriber, I’m grateful you’re here. Reading, sharing, commenting, and challenging these ideas still matters.
If you become a paid supporter, you’re helping build something bigger.
Either way, thank you for being part of this.
The republic was never supposed to be funded by kings, parties, corporations, or permanent political machines.
Neither is this project.
The ideas stay public. Support keeps them independent.
Thank you,
Gary
