The Capital Research Center is a Washington, D.C.-based organization that "analyzes organizations that promote the growth of government and identifies viable private alternatives to government regulatory and entitlement programs." The CRC opposes the thousands of nonprofit advocacy groups that promote "more government welfare programs in areas once considered the domain of families, charities, neighborhood associations, and other voluntary organizations" since President Johnson's Great Society. In the view of CRC, "the growth of government has increasingly supplanted the voluntary action and community-based problem solving that the great observer of early American society, Alexis de Tocqueville, recognized as a defining feature of our country." Capital Research Center offers a variety of resources and newsletters, including one entitled "Labor Watch," that "tracks the increasing activism of labor unions that are trying to achieve through political coalition-building the goals they have failed to achieve at the bargaining table."
