For now, I'm going to refrain from contributing to this page - since I've written so much about the subject and am unfamiliar with wikipedia protocols for this sort of thing. but I think there should be prominent mention of GCI's relation the Fund for Public Interest Research and PIRG family. Also, there should be reference to the book Activism Inc, which directly addresses GCI. Bencampo - can you contact me at greg dot bloom at gmail dot com? --Greggish 18:07, 28 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And I also removed the link to my book. I dunno, despite its relevance, it doesn't seem appropriate. --Greggish 12:42, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

Added Advert tags as the History section lists quite many numbers without independent citation. Current Work section is based upon the organization's website. Also, members of this organization seem to be adding tags to other organization wikis (see Common Cause) to indicate they have worked for them before. How is this relevant?

Business

According to the Berkeley, California office, it's only legally for profit so that it can funnel money to the Democratic Party and other organizations more easily. This is very different than a business. Since this is something I learned from a primary source we need to find references for it. SteveSims (talk) 01:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

FYI- Grassroots Campaigns, Inc. still uses funny tactics to get out of paying their workers. For instance, all assistant directors are salaried, which means they can be overworked and underpaid. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.174.248.243 (talk) 17:31, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More Business

Another note is that they (PIRG and GCI) do not hire directors without college degrees. While this may seem normal the problem is that they constantly hire people with no canvassing experience who by not fund raising enough develop a "deficit" with the company. They literally end up owing the company money. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.149.192.242 (talk) 16:52, 4 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Should lede reflect criticism/lawsuits?
