The National Consumer Coalition consists of nonprofit membership organizations with a combined membership of over 2 million people. NCC believes that a market economy benefits consumers by expanding consumer choice and competition and fostering innovation, which lowers costs and improves consumer welfare. NCC recognizes that individual consumers have different values and varying needs in the marketplace and that informed consumers are better off making their own decisions in the marketplace and holding responsibilty for those decisions. NCC works to expose government policies that restrict consumer choice and stifle competition -- harming consumers by substituting policymakers’ values for individual values and raising the costs of goods and services to consumers. Visit the other two NCC issue sites, Cooler Heads Coalition and FoodStuff.

The American Policy Center (APC) is a privately funded, nonprofit, grassroots action and education foundation dedicated to the promotion of free enterprise and limited government regulations over commerce and individuals.
APC believes that the free market, through its inherent system of checks and balances, including private ownership of property, is the best method yet devised for creating individual wealth, full employment, goods and services, and protecting the natural environment.
APC’s approach to establishing free market policy is rooted in the conviction that a well-informed American public is the best guarantee that U.S. policy will be guided by a keen awareness of the complexity of world politics and America’s role in it.
Privacy issues include a focus on national federal computer data banks and their effect on individual privacy rights.
