About

The California Alliance For Consumer Protection is based in Sacramento California. Operating in the Legislature for over 20 years, the CACP specializes in issues that affect the basic concept:

“Competition is The Highest Form Of Consumer Protection”

As such, all the CACP’s programs are designed to expand consumer protection principals in areas where little or none exist, as well as expand consumer purchasing power(s).

Values

The CACP’s values are clear and simple: As a consumer protection group, we support enhanced consumer protection efforts and purchasing power, but believe that those are achieved through competition, as opposed to regressive legislative actions. As a result, we take positions on legislation that is based on the dual concept of 1) is is the position we are taking help or hurt market place competition and 2) does the policy expand or hinder consumer purchasing power.

Placed online as PDF’s, the agenda includes a variety of issues, ranging from Free computers for graduates to the organic definition of RX Cannabis. The specific pieces of legislation are: (Will be placed on line soon).
