A one-veteran civic press, building toward July 4, 2026.

The mission

Civic education, returned to the public.

Liberty’s Principles Media exists because the country is approaching its two hundred and fiftieth anniversary, and most of the institutions that used to teach citizens what the founding principles actually said have either drifted into partisan combat or gone quiet altogether. The company fills that gap from the bottom up: a small catalog of books, music, software, and journalism written for ordinary people, in plain English, without a flag waved at any party.

The work is built around a single spine — the preamble plus twenty-five founding principles drawn from Zen and the Art of Citizenship. Same principles for a seven-year-old in a picture book, for a chamber-sponsored postcard on a household kitchen table, and for an adult typing a legal question into a search box. One library, many doors.

The founder

Christopher J. Bradley.

Christopher J. Bradley is a Gulf War veteran. He enlisted in the Army in 1988, two months after his seventeenth birthday, and served through the war that followed. After his discharge he went back to school on the G.I. Bill, earning a Bachelor of Science in the Administration of Justice, Penn State University, Class of ’96, then a J.D. and a Master of Intellectual Property from Franklin Pierce Law Center. He practiced law for fourteen years; his bar license is now inactive.

The path between the courtroom and Liberty’s Principles Media was not a straight line. It included homelessness, a long rebuild, and a move to a sailboat in Niceville, Florida, where the company is run from a slip at Oak Marina. The company is self-funded by the founder, with no outside investors.

Bradley is the author of Zen and the Art of Citizenship: An Inquiry into Principles, the book that supplies the principle ordering used across every Liberty’s Principles Media product. He wrote the twenty-nine Liberty’s Principles Pals children’s books that anchor the educational catalog. He also wrote and produced the Peaceful Pirate Adventures series.

Editorial standards

Non-partisan, on the record.

Liberty’s Principles Media does not endorse candidates, parties, or legislation. The company’s purpose is to promote constitutional literacy and civic engagement across all communities. The voice is lawyer-curated rather than partisan-curated — a deliberate choice that rules out restoration-or-decline framing, inflammatory adjectives, and the us-versus-them register that has become the default in American civic content.

All source attribution traces back to Zen and the Art of Citizenship, Bradley’s own treatment of the founding principles. The company does not cite earlier popularizations of the same material; the position is that an honest civic education company should be willing to publish its own argument and stand on it.

The properties

One spine, seven surfaces.

The company maintains seven properties: a marketing and directory hub at libertysprinciplesmedia.com; a children’s book series at libertysprinciplespals.com; a 9×12 civic-education postcard distributed through chambers of commerce at commonsensequarterly.com; an AI-powered legal-information service at whatlaw.ai; an AI legal-billing review tool at fairbillanalyzer.com; the source book and a memoir companion at theartofcitizenship.com; and a music arm called Project Potsie. Each property is described in detail on the portfolio page.

The team

One founder, one assistant, room for one more.

Liberty’s Principles Media is run by Christopher J. Bradley. Day-to-day operations are supported by an internal AI assistant called Liberty Belle, which manages outreach, scheduling, and the catalog of ongoing work. The company is small on purpose. There is room on the roster for one more partner if the right one ever appears; until then the work continues at one-veteran scale.
