Public Citizen From the Public Citizen web page:
"We stand up for you against thousands of special interest
lobbyists in Washington -- well-heeled agents for drug
companies, the automakers, big energy interests, and the
like. Our budget is small ... But Public Citizen
is respected and effective, precisely because we accept no
government or corporate support."

Non-Profit Advocacy - Best Practices
"We are often asked for examples of advocacy on the Internet. As part of our
exploration into "best practices" of nonprofit use of communications, we have
begun compiling a list of nonprofit advocacy organizations that make particularly
good use of the Internet in their activities. These sites:
- invite the reader to ACT; and
- make appropriate use of technology to help them do so."
