CCDC and its Legal Program are very pleased to announce our latest "addition" to our legal team. As of January 1, 2012, Andrew Montoya joined CCDC's Legal Program as a full-time, salaried associate.

It is that time of year again when I will be harassing you all to get to the Capitol. Cynicism with politicians and the political process is at an all time high. Why get involved when they are going to listen to the corporations over people? Do they really care about us? What difference does any of this make?
Happy New Year!
The CCDC Advocacy Program is off to a great start with lots of coals in the fire. To start, we have formed an Advocacy Reimbursement Committee to discuss and create a fair reimbursement policy for volunteer advocates.
