	People For the American Way - Citizens for a Sound Economy
		CSE President Paul Beckner makes clear the niche his group has carved: “We are not a ‘think-tank,’ content to study the issues and publish papers and reports.
		CSE’s mission is to turn those ideas and policies into action.” CSE boasts that it “trains and mobilizes hundreds of thousands of volunteer activists to fight” for change, and has created “an army of activists” dedicated to placing “overwhelming pressure on the politicians and the media.”
		CSE was founded in 1984 by David Koch who, along with his brother Charles, owns virtually all of Koch Industries, a wealthy privately-held company headquartered in Wichita, Kansas that controls a diverse group of oil, natural gas, ranching, securities, and finance firms.

		CSE is often described as a "consumer group," but according to internal documents leaked to the Washington Post, 85 percent of CSE's 1998 revenues of $16.2 million came not from its 250,000 members, but from contributions of $250,000 and up from Koch Industries as well as other corporations, including U.S. West and Philip Morris.
		In 1999, for example, the Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation, the funding arm of CSE, paid for "friend of the court" briefs that sought to declare the Clean Air Act unconstitutional.

	Anatomy of a fraudulent "grassroots" campaign: Citizens for a Sound Economy in Oregon
		The campaign by the right-wing organization Citizens for a Sound Economy (CSE) to overturn a legislatively approved tax increase in Oregon and implement more than half-a-billion in cuts to public services was presented by both CSE and its supporters as a “grassroots” political operation.
		The extent to which CSE relies on corporate profits for its nationwide operations is illustrated in a report published in October 2000 by the non-profit consumer watchdog Public Citizen.
		CSE’s campaign in Oregon, while relying on some small contributions from individuals, primed its anti-Measure 30 pump significantly with its own corporate-funded coffers in Washington, D.C. Items as small and insignificant as office supplies and even balloons for campaign rallies were paid for by the D.C. office.

		Throughout its short but colorful history, the Bedford CSE has had a tendency to hold the press at arm’s length with messages such as “No one member is a spokesperson,” as Corcoran said in a fax sent to the Bedford Journal office Monday.
		While Stewart said he and the Bedford CSE share many positions on the issues, including support of the two petition articles regarding town government (one on redistricting the town council, another on official ballot voting) coming up for a vote on Aug. 31, he has never agreed with the methods the group has used.
