	Competitive Enterprise Institute
		People generally desire security in their transactions, but they don't always desire it at the expense of everything else - and in a free society, making the tradeoff between personal privacy and the benefits of offering information about oneself is part of a competent adult's portfolio of prerogatives.
		In many ways, the free market and the proto-civic institutions of the Net have already produced and distributed an array of privacy-protecting devices without aid (and despite threat of hindrance) from the government.
		And institutions have cropped up to promulgate a system of norms and standards that can evolve to suit the Internet's peculiarities far more quickly and closely than a set of pages in the Federal Register.

	TechnoFILE - The Competitive Enterprise Institute Advises Restraint
		CEI's preferred cure is to limit the FCC to being more of a registry of "rights to use spectrum" (basically overseeing the distribution of broadcast and data bandwidth) and a place to deal with international communications negotiations.
		This may not seem like something that would touch the average American citizen, but in a subtle way it really is. If you buy the institute's case, the FCC costs businesses and consumers money by causing delays and uncertainty among tech innovators, costs that are inevitably passed on to the eventual consumers as higher prices.
		Then there's the issue of research and development grants, also known by some as a type of "corporate welfare." The Institute quite correctly points out that the government has no business picking winners and losers in the private sector, but that by subsidizing some companies instead of others this is exactly what it's doing.

	The Smokers Club, Inc. - MSA being challenged by Competitive Enterprise Institute
		The suit, filed on August 2 by the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a Washington, DC-based think tank, followed the publication in March 2005 of a study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) that examined how the states have been spending their shares of the tobacco settlement funds.
		That's why the Competitive Enterprise Institute launched a lawsuit on August 2 challenging the tobacco settlement: to end such abuse of power and restore one essential constitutional check on government greed.
		This week, the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a free-market advocacy group in Washington, filed suit in federal court to challenge the constitutionality of the massive and fantastically lucrative 1998 Master Settlement Agreement—otherwise known as the Tobacco Deal.

		But from a public policy standpoint, the 1998 tobacco settlement with the states is far more troubling because it provides a template for activist state attorneys general and trial lawyers to target other lawful enterprises.

	Lobbyists Foresee Business As Usual
		As a result, lobbyists would still be able to contribute to lawmakers' coffers, host and organize major fundraising events, and arrange trips subsidized by their clients to encourage electoral giving -- just as they do now.
		Such campaign-related activities are "the most significant benefits lobbyists use to influence members of Congress," said Larry Noble, executive director of the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics.
		The Competitive Enterprise Institute, which widely publicizes its belief that the earth is not warming cataclysmically because of the burning of coal and oil, says Exxon Mobil Corp. is a "major donor" largely as a result of its effort to push that position.
