	Common Cause Common Cause’s mission is to strengthen public participation and faith in our institutions of self-government; to ensure that government and political processes serve the general interest, rather than special interests; to curb the excessive influence of money on government decisions and elections; to promote fair elections and high ethical standards for government officials; and to protect the civil rights and civil liberties of all Americans.
	Declare Yourself Declare Yourself is a national nonpartisan, nonprofit campaign whose mission is to empower and encourage every eligible 18-year-old in America to register and vote in the presidential primaries and 2008 presidential election.

	Demos Demos: A Network for Ideas & Action is a non-partisan public policy research and advocacy organization committed to building an America that achieves its highest democratic ideals. We believe this requires a democracy that is robust and inclusive, with high levels of electoral participation and civic engagement; an economy where prosperity and opportunity are broadly shared and disparity is reduced; and a strong and effective public sector with the capacity to plan for the future and provide for the common good. Founded in 2000, Demos combines research with advocacy—melding a think tank’s commitment to ideas with the organizing strategies of an advocacy group.

And, Democracia U.S.A. promotes greater civic participation by educating Hispanics about the American political process and encouraging them to participate within it as a means of improving their quality of life.
