Grass Roots America

What Grass Roots America does

Grassroots America - We The People (GAWTP), per the input data, is described in firmographics as an incentive and recognition program provider headquartered in Miami, but every other data block — including the company's own website (gawtp.com), product details, leadership team, and office address — describes it as a conservative political action committee (PAC) based in Tyler, Smith County, Texas (PO Box 130012, Tyler, TX 75713). Given the source-material conflict, the analysis is grounded in the substantively richer PAC record: GAWTP is a statewide conservative citizen action committee that mobilizes grassroots activists around voter education, candidate endorsements, and government accountability in Texas. Its two flagship initiatives are the Texas Conservative Grassroots Coalition (TCGC), a statewide coalition of conservative grassroots organizations on limited government, election integrity, and fiscal responsibility; and GrassrootsPriorities.com, a free transparency platform that lets citizens investigate Texas legislation, legislators, committees, campaign finance funders, and lobbyist activity, with integrated Texas Legislature Online (TLO) bill tracking and instructional videos.

The organization's go-to-market is community-led rather than commercial: it distributes content through the gawtp.com website and blog, an email alert system, 7,815+ Twitter/X followers plus Facebook and YouTube channels, monthly evening meetings, candidate forums, the annual Champions of Freedom Awards Gala, and ongoing local-government watchdog work (including attendance at Smith County Commissioners Court). Its revenue mechanics are donations and annual membership/join fees, with GrassrootsPriorities.com offered at no charge to all citizens. Governance is volunteer-led by a Board of Directors: Executive Director and co-founder JoAnn Fleming (former Smith County Commissioner), Board Member and Government Watchdog Committee Chair Tom Fabry (retired from leading global engineering and R&D operations at Hewlett-Packard), and PAC Treasurer Jimmie Taylor. Headcount is reported as 1-10. A historical outlier — a 2006-01-31 acquisition of BitTime.com for an undisclosed amount — appears alongside the otherwise PAC-consistent record.

Core offering

Grassroots America is a conservative citizen action committee that provides voter information, candidate endorsement resources, and government accountability services to Texas residents. Its central free product is GrassrootsPriorities.com, a self-governance transparency tool that allows citizens to investigate legislation, legislators, committees, campaign funders, and lobbyist activity, with integration into Texas Legislature Online (TLO) for bill tracking. The organization supplements this tool with voter guides, candidate interviews, the annual Champions of Freedom Awards Gala, monthly citizen meetings, and coalition advocacy through the Texas Conservative Grassroots Coalition (TCGC).

Product overview

Grassroots America is a conservative citizen action organization, not a software product company. Its primary offerings include GrassrootsPriorities.com — a self-governance transparency tool for investigating Texas legislation, legislators, and lobbyist activity — along with educational resources such as the 2025 Texas Legislature Online Handbook and disaster preparedness documents. The main gawtp.com website serves as a platform for citizen engagement, voter information, candidate endorsements, and access to the Texas Conservative Grassroots Coalition. The organization does not offer a unified software platform with modules; rather, it provides distinct web-based tools and resources focused on government accountability and civic education.

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Regional players

• Civitas (formerly NC FreeEnterprise Foundation): North Carolina-based civic transparency and accountability organization producing voter guides and legislative research. Comparable in citizen-transparency tooling and conservative civic engagement but operating in a different state.

Broad incumbents

• Club for Growth: Conservative political organization focused on limited-government candidates and legislative accountability, including primary endorsements. Comparable in conservative citizen-engagement mission but operates a PAC and 501(c)(4) with national scope.
• Americans for Prosperity: National conservative advocacy organization with state chapters running voter education, accountability scorecards, and grassroots mobilization. A larger incumbent operating in the same civic-advocacy space but with institutional Koch-network backing.
• Heritage Foundation: Major national conservative think tank producing policy research, legislative scorecards, and grassroots toolkits. Comparable in mission (conservative policy advocacy and accountability) but operates at much larger scale with broader portfolio.

Emerging players

• Ballotpedia: Nonpartisan civic transparency platform providing detailed information on candidates, elected officials, ballot measures, and legislation. Comparable to GrassrootsPriorities.com as a legislative/civic transparency resource, but operates nonpartisan and at national scale.
• Open States (by Plural Policy): Multi-state legislative transparency platform tracking bills, legislators, and votes across all 50 states. Closely comparable to GrassrootsPriorities.com's core functionality but as a tech-first, multi-state product rather than a single-state advocacy tool.

Direct peers

• FreedomWorks: National conservative grassroots organization mobilizing citizen activists on limited-government issues with state-level chapters. Comparable in mission (grassroots conservative citizen engagement), funding model (donations), and tactics (voter guides, candidate engagement).
• Eagle Forum: Conservative citizen-activist organization with state-level chapters focusing on grassroots mobilization, voter education, and family-policy advocacy. Comparable in citizen-led conservative engagement model and donor-funded structure.
• Empower Texans: Texas-focused conservative political advocacy organization publishing scorecards of state legislators and supporting primary challenges. Closely comparable model to GAWTP: Texas-only, conservative, transparency and accountability-driven, donation-funded.
• Texas Public Policy Foundation: Texas-based conservative think tank and advocacy organization producing policy research, voter guides, and government accountability work. Directly comparable as a state-focused conservative civic-engagement organization operating in the same Texas ecosystem.
