TSAugust is a 501 (c) (3) not for profit Virginia non-stock corporation.
Why TSAugust?
TSAugust is an acronym for "The Second of August".
August
2nd, 1776 was the day most delegates signed the Declaration of
Independence. These were patriots who believed in the country they were about to establish.
Many
of the delegates were farmers or landowners who viewed nature as
a resource to be used and protected. Many were business people
who understood the importance of commerce and economic
development.
They
were students of ancient and modern history: They risked their
lives to establish a government based on historical experiences,
so that citizens would be free and ruled by laws that protected
them from an over zealous government, from their fellow citizens
and from foreign threats.
We have adopted TSAugust for our name so as to capture the ideas of patriotism, rights and responsibilities inherent in the work of our founding fathers: These are the principles that will guide our efforts
