Eventually, [[US conservatism]] will be moved to [[Americonservatism]], but I don't have time to update all the links right now -- so I'm saving that move for later. Also, maybe this should be /organizations or /advocacy instead of /think-tanks; some of these are lobbying orgs, some are think-tanks... need to get some clarity on what the different types are and how to distinguish between them.
