At a time in our country where corporations have unprecedented influence on public policy, OSPIRG is a champion of the public interest. I have been an OSPIRG member and donor for years, and have been very impressed with some of their accomplishments, both at the local scale, here in Oregon, and nationally as part of USPIRG. They have been known in the past for their environmental work, but recently have been focused on consumer issues. Such as stopping tax-payer subsidies for big agra businesses like Mosanto, and keeping health insurance rates down in Oregon. Every year, a canvasser comes to my door to renew my membership. I don't normally give to organizations at my doorstep, but the canvassers from OSPIRG are extremely professional and well informed about the issues, and I feel comfortable supporting them this way.

OSPIRG is amazing. Their canvassers are so friendly. This year they are working on improving the standards meat in the school lunch program. They are an organization defending the interest of the public and standing up to powerful interest. The are funded 96% by their citizen members and the other 4% is from grant money. With all the corruption these days, there should be more organizations like OSPIRG.
