From: "Rich Gauszka" 

Gee Gary  I would have thought the Lexington Institute your cup of tea.
It's not the liberals that are turning

http://www.lexingtoninstitute.org/mission.asp

The Lexington Institute believes in limiting the role of the federal
government to those functions explicitly stated or implicitly defined by
the Constitution. The Institute therefore actively opposes the unnecessary
intrusion of the federal government into the commerce and culture of the
nation, and strives to find nongovernmental, market-based solutions to
public-policy challenges. We believe a dynamic private sector is the
greatest engine for social progress and economic prosperity.
