Website designed to more effectively communicate conservative ideas and views to more Minnesotans

Minneapolis, MN -- Center of the American Experiment today launched its newly redesigned website, www.AmericanExperiment.org

“Our new website is designed to help American Experiment more effectively communicate conservative free-market ideas and views to the people of Minnesota,” said American Experiment CEO Annette Meeks.  

Along with being more aesthetically attractive, AmericanExperiment.org is convenient to navigate and makes it easy to locate recent American Experiment publications and commentaries, along with information on upcoming American Experiment events.  The website also provides information on and links to American Experiment’s projects, including IntellectualTakeout.com, MinnesotaVotes.org, and its newly-created speakers bureau. 

The redesign is one of many exciting changes, which will be taking place on AmericanExperiment.org.  In the near future, the website will allow individuals to join American Experiment and register for its events online, and provide video and audio from its events.

American Experiment also launched its new e-Extra newsletter, which will reflect the new template of the website.  (The new American Experiment logo on the website will also eventually be used on all the organization’s materials.) 

The redesign of the website and e-Extra are part of a broader effort by American Experiment to use technology to more aggressively communicate conservative ideas and perspectives to a larger audience throughout Minnesota and nationally.    

Just last month, for example, American Experiment launched the groundbreaking www.IntellectualTakeout.com, which is designed to bring greater intellectual diversity to Minnesota college campuses by exposing students to conservative free-market ideas that are not always readily available in the classroom. 

A week after its launch, IntellectualTakeout.com received the PoliticsOnline HotSite Award which is “used to recognize Internet sites that stand out as being truly innovative in the realm of bringing the Internet and politics together.”
