Our Mission
The PARAGON Foundation provides for education, research and the exchange of ideas in an effort to promote and support Constitutional principles, individual freedoms, private property rights and the continuation of rural customs and culture - all with the intent of celebrating and continuing our Founding Fathers' vision for America.
The PARAGON Foundation, a 501-C(3) not-for-profit organization, was created
in 1996 to support the advancement of the fundamental principals articulated by the United States founding fathers in both the Declaration of
Independence and U.S. Constitution.
This was the vision of PARAGON’s founding father, Tom Linebery, an early
leader in the property rights movement and a staunch advocate of ranchers
and landowners. A proud American, Tom believed that it was the
responsibility of government to protect the rights of fellow Americans, as
written in the Constitution. Furthermore, he also believed that it was
the responsibility of every American to make sure the government remained
true to its purpose. Tom understood that knowledge was power and he
sought to arm fellow landowners with the information and negotiating skills
necessary to protect their property.
In this same spirit, PARAGON pledges to work diligently to bring individuals
and organizations together in the hopes of developing effective tactics and
strategies that will assist in disseminating knowledge and information to
those who will best benefit.
