The ''''Constitution First Amendment Press Association'''' ([http://cfapa.org CFAPA.org]]) was founded in March 2014 to provide [[credential]]s and to provide a venue for a mostly [[anonymous]] [[association]] of [[independent]] [[American]] [[Citizen]] [[Journalist]]s.  

The '''Constitution First Amendment Press Association''' i(CFAPA) s a group of volunteers who gain press credentials to attend events. It also provides a forum for amateur journalists. Robert Henry Rawles (a [[homeschooling|home-schooled]] college student) and his father, [[James Wesley Rawles]] (a [[journalism]] school graduate from [[California State University|San Jose State University]] founded the CFAPA in March 2014.

To quote their website: "We provide press credentials ''free of charge'' to ''any'' [[adult]] American Citizen who accepts the [[Constitutional]] Journalist’s [[Pledge]] and who agrees to [http://www.cfapa.org/member-terms-and-conditions-of-use/ CFAPA’s Member Terms and Conditions].

Unlike other press associations, the CFAPA does not keep a membership roster, and its members can remain anonymous.  It is not clear how many other organizations or events honor press credentials from the CFAPA.
