"I recommend it to my sons, from my own Experience in Life, to prefer
the happiness of independence & a private Station to the troubles and
Vexations of Public Business; but if either their own inclination or the Necessaty
of the times shou'd engage them in Public Affairs, I charge them, on a Fathers
Blessing, never to let the motives of private Interest or ambition to induce
them to betray, nor the terrors of Poverty and disgrace, or the fear of danger
or of death deter them from Asserting the liberty of their Country, and endeavouring
to transmit to their posterity those Sacred rights to which themselves were
born."
--George Mason, Virginia statesman regarded as the "Father of the
Bill of Rights"
Committed to the Founders' vision of public office as a solemn trust,
NLPC "blows the whistle" on government officials and interest groups engaged
in questionable activities. NLPC has filed formal Complaints with a variety
of authorities and regulators, including the Federal Election Commission (FEC)
and Congressional Ethics Committees. (NLPC is strictly non-partisan; Complaints
have been filed against Democrats and Republicans alike.) Click on
