Moms For America Has A Truck

First of all, don't confuse Moms For America with Moms For Liberty.

MFA claims roots back to 2004 as a "trusted source for moms looking to promote a love of liberty in their homes and communities." It was founded (and its name apparently registered as a trademark) by Kimberly Fletcher, an "unabashed American-loving mom." Also, author, columnist, retired Air Force officer, mother of eight children, resident of Omaha, and regular contributor to Fox, Breitbart, Sinclair, the Blaze. She's also an organizer for Stop the Steal.

MFA has an advisory council packed with conservative all-stars, including Kevin Sorbo's wife Sam, president of The Strategic Alliance, Radio Host Rose Tennent, and--oh, look-- it's our old friend Rebecca Friedrichs. The 990 finder comes up very quiet for a 501c3 organization (one form from 2018). But they reportedly get plenty of financial support from Charles Herbster and Mike Lindell. MFA was also a "coalition partner" for the January 6 Save America rally--the day after they had a rally of their own. So not so much homey cookie-baking Moms but mostly of savvy media pros and seasoned political activists. 

MFA has been holding marches and rallies and general noisemaking for many years, but of course the past couple have been a real bonanza for them. But currently they are sponsoring a Big Purple Truck that is circling DC on the beltway as part of the Freedom Convoy. While at CPAC, Fletcher talked to Breibart about why a truck:

The truck was inspired by what is going on in classrooms, Fletcher explained, noting it is “not even just the mask or vaccine.”

“It’s what’s happening in our classrooms — this draconian mentality from the White House to the school board, and we’ve been facing this in our communities for several years, but now moms are starting to realize. As I’ve said for the last 16 years, the moment moms find out what’s going on in the classroom behind closed doors, there’s going to be a national revolt, and that’s what’s happening,” she said.

“And the message of our truck is, they are our kids. These are our freedoms. You serve us, we don’t serve you, and that’s a message that resonates with the American people,” she added.

Of course, the big issue for Fletcher is Critical Race Theory, or at least, something that she calls Critical Race Theory. And here's your proof that Christopher Rufo's objective of gathering everything that some people don't like under the CRT umbrella has borne fruit.

“Critical Race Theory is part of ‘social emotional learning’ that teacher unions are pushing, and the whole idea is to teach children to hate their country, hate their neighbors, hate themselves, and be disconnected from their parents,” she said, adding that it is “creating race problems” by dividing children. It also includes aspects of the LGBT movement and the transgender agenda, she continued.

So all of that--that's CRT, somehow.

So MFA has a truck out there, part of the massive convoy that hopes to achieve something freedomy by getting itself stuck in one of the major urban daily traffic snarls in the country, because that will totally.... do something. And when that something is done, Moms For America, yet another astro turf anti-public education group, will be there to also do something, too.
