Home | Council For Citizens Against Government Waste

CCAGW's strength has been, and always will be, our more than one million members and supporters. These outspoken and informed Americans attend public policy forums and town hall meetings; participate in surveys and petition drives; help educate their friends, colleagues, and neighbors about government waste; and call and write letters to the media and Congress. Their endorsement of CCAGW's work to restore fiscal responsibility and accountability to government, by both their actions and their contributions, makes CCAGW America's #1 taxpayer watchdog organization
