Concord Coalition
The Concord Coalition a 501(c)(3) non-profit that describes itself as "a non-partisan, grassroots organization dedicated to educating the public about the causes and consequences of federal budget deficits, the long-term challenges facing America’s unsustainable entitlement programs, and how to build a sound foundation for economic growth. The Concord Coalition began in the early 1990’s as the unified voice of concerned citizens who were motivated to take a stand for future generations of Americans. These founders believed, like the Minutemen at Concord, that we have a moral obligation to leave the country better off for our children and grandchildren. The Concord Coalition’s national field staff and loyal group of volunteers cover the country holding lectures, leading interactive exercises, conducting classes, giving media interviews, and briefing elected officials and their staff.”[1]
"The Concord Coalition was founded in 1992 by the late former Senator Paul Tsongas (D-MA), former Senator Warren Bruce Rudman (R-NH), and former U.S. Secretary of Commerce Peter G. Peterson. Former Senator Bob Kerrey (D-NE) was named a co-chair of the Concord Coalition in January 2002."[1]
