Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Unlike other "ethics" groups, NLPC pursues a single standard of ethics. In 1993, NLPC successfully sued Hillary Rodham Clinton's secret health care task force to open its meetings and records. In 1996, NLPC secured documents under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) demonstrating the then-FDA Commissioner had overbilled on his expense reimbursements. In 1999, NLPC broke a major scandal involving the federally-funded Legal Services Corporation (LSC), which was inflating the number of cases it claimed it handled. In 2001, NLPC filed a formal Complaint with the IRS against Rev. Jesse Jackson's largest non-profit organization that received extensive media coverage. In 2003, NLPC exposed the Boeing Tanker Deal Scandal, saving taxpayers $4-5 billion and sending two Boeing executives to jail.
