The American Truth in Politics Association (hereinafter ATIPA) is a Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation organized under the Nonprofit Public Benefit Corporation Law of the State of California.  The purpose of ATIPA, as stated in its Articles of Incorporation, is "to create, perform, and perfect an ongoing scientific testing program for testing the honesty of candidates running for public office, and gratuitously presenting the test results to the public, with the ultimate goal of improving our country's political and legislative honesty."  Exemption from California and federal taxation are presently being applied for.

The work of the Truth in Politics (TIP) system will be national in scope.   The national lead organization is ATIPA, alternatively referred to herein as NTIP.  A number of affiliated State Truth in Politics (STIP) organizations will be created to manage the TIP activities in each state.

The purpose of this website is to provide information about the TIP system to the voting public, to candidates for public office, to persons who are considering becoming Sustaining Members of an STIP, and to those Sustaining Members who are considering becoming Voting Members.

This website contains eight auxiliary pages:

The Purpose page describes the foremost major problem facing our country today, and what we would like to do about it.
The Strategy page outlines how we propose to solve that major problem, and reduce it, in the long run, to a nullity.
The TIP Structure page describes the organization which has been created to implement that solution.
The Membership page describes the requirements and duties of the people needed to staff and support the TIP system.
The Truth Technology page describes the modern technology which will enable the successful attainment of our Purpose.
The Testing Procedure page details the procedure for testing for candidate honesty and publicizing those test results.
The Interviewer Equipment page lists the equipment required for an interviewer to administer the candidate honesty tests.
The Bylaws page presents a set of operating rules to be included within the formal ATIPA bylaws, still under construction.
