Consumer Alert
In an era when free enterprise is the key to an efficient, productive,

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
expose the flawed economic, scientific and risk data that underlie certain
public policies. Now, Consumer Alert is the home to the spare time of over

government and lower taxes. We found that to become a member, all it would take
is $35 and a mailed in request to their office in Washington. Consumer Alert
depends on contributions from individual donors, corporations, and foundations
