Consumer Alert

     In an era when free enterprise is the key to an efficient, productive,
and successful country, business sometimes digresses from their true duties of
producing goods and services at an honest and decent price.  Consumer Alert,
founded in 1977, was founded with a single purpose in mind:  "to advance the
consumer interest through advocacy of free-market solutions to consumer
dissatisfaction and scrutiny of any action which discourages competition in the
marketplace."
     Consumer Alert was founded in 1977 as a national, non-profit membership
organization for people concerned about excessive growth of government
regulation at the national and state levels. Consumer Alert's mission is to
inform the public about the consumer benefits of competitive enterprise and to

was $411,900.  This helps to maintain their bimonthly publication, Consumer
Alerts Comments, and pay their full-time president, vice-president, and
contracted legal counsel.  Currently, their salaried executive officer is
Frances B. Smith, and his office is where his lobbying is needed most,
Washington DC.
     Consumer Alert has only one interest in mind, and only a single area
where their influence can be fully realized.  With a central office in
Washington DC, Consumer Alert is always up-to-the-minute on news that effects
the consuming public.  They are continually active in issues such as
privatization, free trade, deregulation in the marketplace, reduction in
