- Common Cause Magazine
Suzzallo Periodicals
HN51 C6522
This reform-minded quarterly examines behind-the-scenes government and looks for ways to improve the system, bring public action and scrutiny to bear and to make elected officials accountable to the people they represent. This magazine does not label its
self progressive, but given its penchant for reform, and its commitment to
making government work, it has some of the characteristics of a progressive agenda. The organization Common
Cause maintains a website as well.
