The Association is an independent non-governmental organization with a membership of more than 22,000 lawyers, judges, law professors, and government officials. Founded in 1870, the Association is amongst the nation's largest and oldest bar associations, with a long history of protecting and promoting civil rights and the just and efficient operation of the federal courts. 42 West 44th Street • New York, NY 10036-6689 2 The Association believes that the proposed legislation serves no useful purpose and would unjustifiably diminish the efficacy of consent decrees as a means of resolving civil rights litigation against state and local authorities, leaving costly, protracted and unnecessary litigation as the sole means of remedying civil rights violations.

  • New Jersey: Jon Corzine (D) (Open Seat)
    EMBARGOED UNTIL OCTOBER 5, 2000 Contact: Travis Plunkett (202) 387-6121 CONSUMER FEDERATION OF AMERICA PAC ENDORSES CONGRESSIONAL CHALLENGERS WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Consumer Federation of America PAC today announced its political action committee’s endorsement of non-incumbent candidates for the 2000 House and Senate races. The candidates--4 in the Senate and 19 in the House of Representatives--were chosen from open seat races and challengers to those incumbents with poor consumer voting records. “After reviewing positions of these candidates, CFA PAC is confident that they will defend the consumer interest if elected,” said Travis Plunkett, CFA’s Legislative Director. Endorsements of challengers and candidates in open races are based on an evaluation of responses to a candidate questionnaire. For challengers, CFA PAC also considers the consumer voting record of the incumbent they are challenging. CFA evaluates the challenger’s voting record if the challenger has served in the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate. “Consumer issues have taken center stage in Washington. In poll after poll, Americans rank consumer issues among their top concerns. These candidates have expressed strong pro-consumer views on issues such as personal privacy, product and food safety, managed care patient protections, and predatory lending. We support their candidacy,” he concluded. (See attached list of key consumer issues to date during the 106th Congress.) * * * 2000 CHALLENGERS AND OPEN RACES Senate New Jersey: Jon Corzine (D) (Open Seat) Pennsylvania:
