The '''Committee For A Constructive Tomorrow''' (CFACT) was founded in 1985. It does policy and lobbying work on the environment from a libertarian perspective. It touts itself as a conservative answer to the [[Public Interest Research Groups]] (e.g. [[NYPIRG]], ConnPIRG et al.), progressive lobbying groups concerned with environmental issues. The [[PIRGs]] raise much of their funding from student activity fees at college campuses around the country. CFACT has been involved in efforts to eliminate this funding, or found counter-organizations that would give right-wing causes a piece of the pie. ==Personnel== *[[Craig Rucker]], Executive Director. Rucker attended SUNY-Albany, where he first came in contact with NYPIRG, the New York affiliate of the 'Public Interest Research Groups'. Ever since, he's worked with and for organizations in an attempt to subvert the PIRGs. He's also an adjunct scholar at the [[Mackinac Center for Public Policy]]. *[[David Rothbard]], President ==Advisory Board== *[[Marcelo Alonso]], Ph.D., Department of Physics and Space Science, Florida Institute of Technology *[[Bruce N.
