Citizen Outreach

Citizen Outreach is a conservative, Nevada based, advocacy organization. It describes itself as a non-profit organization "established for the purpose of grassroots advocacy at the federal, state and local levels." Its website states that it reaches over 25,000 people each week through its newsletters and website. They address issues such as "lawsuit abuse, government regulation, privatization, health care reform, school choice, social security reform, tax and spending abuses, and illegal immigration, explaining these issues in terms the average citizen can understand and act upon." It is "focused on limited-government public policies".
