The Freedom Promotion Act 2002 was introduced on 14 March 2001 by U.S. Rep. Henry J. Hyde (R-IL), Chairman

Freedom and Democracy Trust

==The Freedom and Democracy Trust==
:Part of this anti-communist programme was the creation of 'an influential group, including several members of
the [[[TUC]]] General Council, which was determined to root out the communists.'(76) Among the group were George Chester (General Secretary of the National Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives), George Gibson (former TUC chair), Lincoln Evans (General Secretary of the Iron and Steel Trades Confederation [ISTC]) Andrew Naesmith (General Secretary of the Amalgamated Weavers' Association), Alf Roberts (General Secretary of the National Association of Card, Blowing and Ring Room Operatives, later on the Board of the Bank of England), G. H. Bagnall (TUC General Council representative; General Secretary in 1939 of National Union of Dyers, Bleachers and Textile Workers), John Brown (ISTC) and Tom O'Brien (Kine Employees).(77) In April 1948 this group became the Freedom and Democracy Trust, and began publishing a periodical called Freedom First. with the help of IRD.(78) 
Unfortunately for all concerned, mixing with the founders of the Trust was an American businessman called Sydney Stanley, and the whole enterprise was 'blown' when Stanley became the centrepiece of the infamous Lansky Tribunal hearings into civil service corruption during the winter of 1948. Not only did Stanley have many pre-war contacts with the U.S unions, he adopted the robust American attitude to officialdom: bribe it when you have to. But he got caught.

Freedom to Trade Campaign

Return to Globalisation:International Policy Network
IPN along with the Atlas Economic Research Foundation launched the Freedom to Trade Campaign in 2009 at an event hosted at the Legatum Institute in London, it is a coalition of 76 think tanks and civil society organisations in 48 countries, which supports free trade and opposes protectionism in all its guises. This means removing all barriers to trade imposed by governments, including quotas, tariffs, subsidies, bureaucratic restrictions and protectionist regulations. The Campaign seeks to alert the public to the looming dangers of protectionism and to oppose existing and new protectionist measures. It will monitor and draw attention to existing and new protectionist measures – and will call for their elimination. 'IPN, “Abot f2t”, accessed 11 November 2010

Freie Demokratische Partei (FDP) - Die Liberalen (Free Democratic Party - the Liberals) is a centrist German political party that advocates individualism, capitalism, and social reform. Although it has captured only a small percentage of the votes in national elections, its support has been pivotal for much of the post-World War II period in making or breaking governments, by forming coalitions with or withdrawing support from larger parties.Encyclopaedia Britannica, Free Democratic Party, Germany, accessed 26 February 2009.

Freight Transport Association

The Freight Transport Association (FTA) represents the interests of rail, road, air and sea freight transport companies. The FTA represents over 12,000 companies, making it one of the largest trade associations in the UK. The FTA often work with and lobby, parliament. In June 2007 the FTA signed a memorandum with the Highways Agency, in order to "improve safety and journey times for both freight drivers and other road users." 
==History==
The roots of the FTA can be traced as far back as 1889. In 1888, the Railway and Canal Traffic Act, enabled traders to complain to the Board of trade if they thought railway services and rates were unreasonable. As a result of this, the Mansion House Association on Railway Rates was established in 1889. Over time, the Mansion House Association became more road orientated and in 1931 changed its name to Mansion House Association on Transport. In 1964 Mansion House Association of Transport changed its name once again, this time to the National Trader's Traffic Association. In 1969, the FTA was born, a result of the merger of the Trader's Road Transport Association, the Traders' Traffic Association and the Traders' Co-ordinating Committee.

I am pleased to let you know that following the enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, eight utilities have announced plans to build 13 nuclear power plants in the United States.
