Cause of Action Institute is a 501(c)(3) oversight group advocating for economic freedom and individual opportunity advanced by honest, accountable, and limited government. Cause of Action exists because the Executive Branch's discretionary power in spending our dollars, regulating our sources of livelihood, and making choices that shape our country must be limited. Three principles guide Cause of Action's educational mission: First, Americans have the right to know about how Washington spends their money. Second, Americans deserve an efficient, effective federal government that works for them, not special interests. Third, Americans have an interest in being free from arbitrary and abusive executive power. Cause of Action's moral obligation is to protect these rights for American taxpayers.
