This article has no citations. Every link in this article is broken. The corporation, although still active, has no web presence. The company's domain redirects to civic-ventures.org, but that site makes no mention of this organization. Frappyjohn (talk) 04:51, 27 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment – This source from Forbes provides significant coverage (be sure to also view the second page of the article). North America1000 09:07, 27 May 2016 (UTC)
 * The Forbes coverage is of a study they've done, not of the organization. Notability is not inherited. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:50, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Forbes article is, in fact, highly supportive of notability.E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:17, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. We are not Yellow Pages, this NGO has not attracted enough attention from the media to meet WP:NORG.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 08:50, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
 * There are, in fact, sources for The True Patriot Network,, for example, this mention in the Charleston Gazette-Mail, "Hanauer, 54, advocates raising taxes for the rich and hiking the minimum wage to the unheard-of heights of $15 an hour. He has co-authored a book and launched an organization called The True Patriot Network to help push such proposals."(5 tycoons who want to close the wealth gap
 * Dreier, Hannah. The Charleston Gazette [Charleston, W.V] 24 Feb 2014: A.2. ). But there are more sources for the book, or, often, for the 2 in the same article.  It is a little unusual, but I think a combined article is the best solution. Rename The True Patriot and rewrite to cover both book and organization. E.M.Gregory (talk) 11:17, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
