If the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI) has it's way, you'll air that dirty laundry, or more specifically, mail your dingy underwear to the Undersecretary of Energy.
The CEI is a non-profit public policy organization dedicated to advancing the principles of free enterprise and limited government. We believe that individuals are best helped not by government intervention, but by making their own choices in a free marketplace.
