Overview and metadata sections

Common Cause (U.S.)

Common Cause is a non-profit advocacy organization committed to honest, open and accountable government and participation in the democratic process. The group was founded in 1970 by John Gardner, who served as the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare under President Lyndon B. Johnson and later as chairman of the National Urban Coalition. Originally created with the intention of representing citizens' interests in Washington, the group soon became a vehicle for protesting the Vietnam War. Since its inception, Common Cause has remained committed to the ideals of democracy and fair government, leading fights for campaign finance reforms, ethics and accountability, and open government at all levels, as well as civil rights legislation, wasteful weapons programs, and voting process reforms.

Consists of the records of Common Cause, a non-partisan citizens' lobby. Included are files of various staff members, such as John W. Gardner, Robert E. Gallamore, David Cohen, Georgia Rathbun, and Nan Waterman; general correspondence; reports of projects and studies; recordings of meetings and testimonies of staff, including Archibald Cox (elected chairman in 1980), before congressional committees; copies of "Letters to the Hill" (1971-1981); state files; and other corporate papers. Also present are the files (1968-1970) of a predecessor organization, the Urban Coalition Action Council. Material is added to the archives as it becomes currently available.

Scope and Contents

Note on the "Washington Connection":

In 1973 Common Cause abandoned a system of regional offices which had been responsible for local organizing and relaying requests for action from the national office to the local organizations in the Congressional Districts, because the extra organizational layer turned out to slow down transmission of information and requests for action. Instead, an operation known ever since as the "Washington Connection" was instituted, made up of volunteers in the national office who are responsible for communication with the volunteers in one or more Congressional Districts or an entire state. These volunteers work closely with staff members who oversee operations in their states and are in touch by telephone at least weekly with key Common Cause volunteers in each Congressional District. This system makes possible quick relaying of information on how a Senator or Representative has voted and on action needed at the grassroots level. It also gathers information from the local volunteers on what the legislator has said at home about Common Cause issues, for prompt relay to the appropriate lobbyists in the national office.

Common Cause Open-Up-The System Campaign, 1972-1973. 1 box.
Scope and Contents

Note on the campaign:

Because Common Cause is a nonpartisan organization that does not support or oppose candidates for public office, it has had to devise its own special way of participating in election campaigns. In every Congressional campaign year, beginning in 1972, Common Cause has developed questionnaires on key Common Cause issues, which are submitted to all candidates in every Congressional race.

Candidates are asked to respond and told that their responses will be made public prior to the election. Then, in the next Congress, favorable responses by winning candidates are used ads lobbying tools to hold the Senators and Representatives to their campaign commitments.

In 1972 an "Open Up The System (OUTS) coordinator was recruited to coordinate the program in each Congressional District. The Materials in this box are those prepared to assist these coordinators during the first part of the program and then to report to them the progress being made in Congress on the key issues of open meetings, seniority system and other reforms.

Tape Cassettes of Common Cause Office Briefings and other Events, 1973-1981. 1 box.
Scope and Contents

Note on the project:

After significant Congressional actions on Common Cause issues, the entire office staff and volunteers are briefed by the legislative staff on the action taken, including which Representatives and senators were leading supporters or opponents of Common Cause position. These briefings are tape recorded so that volunteers from the Washington Connection (responsible for telephone liaison with active volunteers in each Congressional District) could listen to the briefing if they were not present in the office the day it took place. Information gained from the briefings is transmitted by the Washington Connection volunteers to the activists in the Congressional District, giving them a prompt and vivid report on how their Representative performed and whether he/she should be publicly thanked or criticized. Briefings are also held on significant internal Common Cause events.
