WHERE DO YOUR SENATORS STAND?

CALL TO FIND OUT TODAY

The Senate bill passed on May 20 without the Merkley-Levin amendment. Your calls worked -- we built enough support to pass the amendment! But in the last two days before the bill passed, Republicans blocked a vote on it twice. We never even got a vote!

But your calls still helped shape the bill. You prevented any weakening of the current language, which was a real danger on the Senate floor. The current language gives regulators authority to write rules that would bar the same risky trading targeted by the Merkley-Levin amendment (the amendment would have made the rule mandatory rather than just giving regulators discretion). Thanks again, and you should be proud!

Public Citizen, Inc. and Public Citizen Foundation

 

Together, two separate corporate entities called Public Citizen, Inc. and Public Citizen Foundation, Inc., form Public Citizen. Both entities are part of the same overall organization, and this Web site refers to the two organizations collectively as Public Citizen.

Although the work of the two components overlaps, some activities are done by one component and not the other. The primary distinction is with respect to lobbying activity. Public Citizen, Inc., an IRS § 501(c)(4) entity, lobbies Congress to advance Public Citizen’s mission of protecting public health and safety, advancing government transparency, and urging corporate accountability. Public Citizen Foundation, however, is an IRS § 501(c)(3) organization. Accordingly, its ability to engage in lobbying is limited by federal law, but it may receive donations that are tax-deductible by the contributor. Public Citizen Inc. does most of the lobbying activity discussed on the Public Citizen Web site. Public Citizen Foundation performs most of the litigation and education activities discussed on the Web site.

You may make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., Public Citizen Foundation, or both. Contributions to both organizations are used to support our public interest work. However, each Public Citizen component will use only the funds contributed directly to it to carry out the activities it conducts as part of Public Citizen’s mission. Only gifts to the Foundation are tax-deductible. Individuals who want to join Public Citizen should make a contribution to Public Citizen, Inc., which will not be tax deductible.
