The Institute for First Amendment Studies [IFAS], a 501(c)(3)
non-profit educational and research organization, was founded in 1984 by former
fundamentalist minister Skipp Porteous and attorney Barbara Simon, to "expose and
counter the political activities of the Religious Right." The IFAS website
operated until 2001, where the information has continued to be carried by
publiceye.org. On August 1, 1996, Skipp Porteous announced,
"Starting today, The Council for National Policy Unofficial Information Page"
went on the Internet through the web site of the Institute for First Amendment
Studies (IFAS), publishers of Freedom Writer magazine..."
Again, this is historical information and provided for research
purposes.
Skipp Porteous managed to gain access to a few meetings and came
out with various information, including the following:
