ABOUT THE CREATION OF THIS WEBSITE

This site was redesigned and rewritten by three graduate school students as a group project for an Information Design course at the University of Minnesota during Fall semester 2008.

The overall conceptual layout and infrastructure was conceived by Julie Hunt, Edie Grossfield, and Cheri Ptacek. The site was built by Cheri based on the group's vision, with content researched and contributed by Julie, Edie and Cheri.

This effort was a heartfelt contribution to FreedomWorks in recognition of the outstanding contributions the organization makes toward guiding those who wish to better their lives.
