SUA Staff

Currently, Stand Up America is comprised of a staff of over 15 American Patriots and we are adding staff at a rapid pace. Most positions are voluntary at this time, but with the aid of our “Kitchen Cabinet” we hope to soon have a fully paid staff that is working for you America.

Please help us help you by donating to our cause so these fine folks can get reimbursed for their expenses, time, and effort. It is a calling to which they have answered, and its America’s future they wish to serve.
