Institute for Liberty

The Institute For Liberty was founded in 2005 as a public policy advocacy group. IFL is a non-profit 501c(4) advocacy organization based in the Washington, DC area. Their primary focus is on the impact of policies developed by the federal executive branch regulatory agencies impacting small business and entrepreneurship. Currently, the IFL is widely focused on issues such as intellectual property rights, eminent domain, energy policy, market-oriented technology policy, and national security.

The IFL has published articles and engaged in advocacy for specific legislative language, filing regulatory comments to support small businesses and entrepreneurs concerning Congressional mandates through federal agencies like the OSHA, the EPA (CO2 and ozone regulation), and the DEA (cold medicine).

The IFL motto is "Defending America's right to be free."

The President of The Institute For Liberty is Andrew M. Langer. IFL's Senior Vice President for Policy is Kerri Houston Toloczko.

Five Senior Fellows complete the professional writing and advisory staff, Tom Sullivan, Senior Fellow in Regulatory Policy, Peter Roff, Senior Fellow in Strategic Policy, Jennifer Korn, Senior Fellow in Immigration Policy, Loren Smith, Senior Fellow for Labor and Employment Policy, and Roger Morse, Senior Fellow in Political Economy.

Late in the summer of 2009 Ms. Toloczko crossed the U.S. with the Hands Off My Healthcare advocacy tour. Her article on failed government health care systems was published in October, 2009.

Eleven IFL political and federal regulatory advocacy publications from 2008 and 2009 are listed on their website.

The Institute For Liberty is located at: 1250 Connecticut Ave, NW, Suite 200 Washington, DC 20036
