West Virginia Citizen Action Group - Who
Are We?
West Virginia Citizen Action Group (WV-CAG) has, since
1974, advocated for better public policy, rights of
individuals, a clean environment and a stronger democratic
process.
The philosophy of WV-CAG is that full-time citizen
participation in the decision-making processes in our state
is absolutely essential. Our main goal is to increase the
voice of the average citizen in public affairs - to speak
out in behalf of the consumer, to speak out in defense of a
cleaner environment, and to speak out against governmental
corruption.
Our staff focuses its attention on regulatory agencies,
the state legislature, the courts, and the news media. WV-CAG
organizes coalitions on issues and gives a voice to those
who have no professional lobbyists representing them at the
state legislature. It prides itself on its original research
reports.
Our issues include: health care reform, taxation reform,
utility reform, good government, ethics, election reform,
fair drug pricing, victims rights, women's issues,
environmental protection and consumer advocacy. We are proud
of our reputation to both quickly respond to urgent citizen
crises as well as to plan for long-term legislative changes.
Our members include activists and people of conscience
from every county in the state.
