“Life is no ‘brief candle’ to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment; and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it onto future generations.”

— George Bernard Shaw, from a lecture delivered in Brighton, England, 1907

 

For Public Citizen to maintain its momentum, we not only need your continuing support, but we must grow. We need the involvement of the eager new crop of politically conscious people who care about their communities, want clean energy, call for fair trade policies and demand a fair and open government.

That’s why we are launching a gift membership campaign called Pass the Torch. If you know of socially conscious people who care about our democracy and want to help strengthen it – family members, neighbors, friends of the family – please give them a gift membership to Public Citizen today.

Public Citizen is here fighting every day to keep corporate power in check, alert the nation to which special interests are finagling what deals, petition to have dangerous drugs removed from the market, and go to court to keep government records open to the public.

Pass the Torch to a new generation of Americans today, and help Public Citizen continue to work for you.

from Public Citizen President Joan Claybrook
