Unlike other advocacy projects, the Consumer Control Project has specific, pre-written laws which we would like to see passed at the state and federal levels.
Large corporations usually seem to get what they want because they hand pre-written bills to our politicians, and we can’t really blame politicians for going along with it: everyone complains to them, but what actually helps is to offer solutions.
If we want to create political change in the opposite direction from these large corporations, we need to play the same game. Specifically, we need to not only educate the politicians on the issues, but I also present bills that we want them to pass (or at least, the framework of such bills).
The first task of educating people is done through our “Principles” page, whose articles you can send to your representatives.
The second task of proposing good bills is initiated through our “Proposed Legislation” page, and through the community support of everyone sending this legislation to their state and federal representatives and presenting it in person whenever possible.
