What is Accountability in Action?

A non-profit (student driven) humanitarian educational public service activist initiative dealing in real time with consumer issues, corporate fraud/ corruption, government accountability and corruption and anti-trust violations by the “collective” collecting of pertinent incidences and information / holding corporate leaders and government officials accountable and getting America back to basics and returning fraudulently retained or gained moneys back to the consumers to whom they are due.

Ideally, this initiative can help restore consumer rights and protections at the Federal, State, and Municipal government levels that have progressively and at an escalating rate over the last twenty years been ignored, eroded, inappropriately altered or unenforced, leading to a buyer beware culture unprecedented in the United States in the last 50 years.

A return to the consumer centric/ Peter Drucker/Adam Smith nature of commerce and exchange will be the overarching focus and philosophy that permeate the activities of Accountability in Action.

Accountability in Action aims to bring this type of information to light, as well as changes in industry concentration ratios so that consumers, investors, government officials, can have the information they need to make better decisions for both the short and long term, and that they can be accountable and see the results/impact of their and historic decisions and make changes accordingly.

The Catholic social teachings of:

• The Dignity of Man/Dignity of Life,
• Solidarity,
• Subsidiarity,
• The Greater Good

developed at a time when value for the worker was in jeopardy will serve as guiding principles in analysis and solution development for the issues and situations studied.

The ever increasingly misoriented approach of government leaders and polices that foster dependence on government and create a “special interest” orientation through special interest laws and policies and  an unregulated and corrupting source of “aid” through grants will be appropriately called into question as well as the failure of the government to protect its people by providing adequate protection to its people and society as a whole in basic areas such as communication, transportation, healthcare/nutrition, commerce, housing, energy and the environment.
