About
Citizens for Responsible Government is a state level Political Action Committee registered with the Michigan Secretary of State. CRG supports eliminating government waste, lower taxes, limited government, broader rights to bear arms, and family values. CRG endorses candidates who support these values. If you are seeking CRG’s endorsement, please read more about our questionnaire here.
CRG is run by its Executive Director and guided by a steering committee, which is still being formed. If you are interested in being on the steering committee or volunteering for CRG please see our volunteering section.
Specifically, these are our values:
End Government Waste
Michigan is notorious for welfare fraud. There is over $55 million in welfare fraud annually. CRG believes this is unacceptable. We support candidates and causes aimed at instituting more accountability and eliminating waste.
Limit Government Size
Government waste is predicated on the size and number of programs that are government run. While there are many government services that are necessary, there are many more whose goals could be accomplished more efficiently with the free market. CRG supports candidates and causes aimed at reducing the size of government.
Embrace a Free Market
The free market has brought economic prosperity to Michigan and America for generations. However, there are many reactionary policies in place that inhibit the success of the free market. CRG supports candidates and causes that oppose such policies in favor of policies that promote free trade and continued economic prosperity.
