Our Mission.

CASE is committed to serving as the voice of American consumers and wage-earners by advocating strongly for free-markets, fiscal responsibility and reasonable consumer protections. Through these time-tested principles, CASE aims to create more prosperity and opportunity for every American.

CASE is further working to fill the void of consumer advocacy organizations who largely ignore free-market solutions and lean heavily toward more government regulation and control over our national, state and local economies.  As an aggressive and vocal advocate for less government interference with American enterprise and industry, CASE seeks to serve the interests of U.S. consumers through common-sense policies that allow our economy to innovate and expand, giving consumers more freedom, greater choice, more purchasing options, at less cost.

 

What We Do.

CASE advocates on the behalf of consumers, both on the state level and federal level. We analyze economic trends, research public policy, and weigh demographic information in order to best promote the free-market policies that lead to a stronger economy benefiting all consumers. CASE’s major initiatives also include engaging and educating the public both online and through traditional media, and aggressively informing lawmakers and opinion leaders of vital pro-consumer policies. CASE further provides several forums, with more to come, for consumers to share and exchange ideas.

Consumers profit when American business and industry is free to compete and innovate in the marketplace to serve the needs of our diverse nation. To further an agenda of economic strength for our nation, and for prosperity and opportunity for every American, we will diligently and tirelessly make the CASE for more economic freedom, less government, and empowering consumers at every avenue.
