Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse (CALA)
(Corporate-created "grassroots" groups)CALAs appear to be "grassroots citizens groups" that spontaneously manifest citizen anger against so-called "lawsuit abuse" in their states. CALAs are actually part of a national corporate-backed network of front groups that receive substantial financial and strategic assistance from some of America's biggest corporations. The money to start CALA chapters is funneled through APCO Associates, a global PR firm specializing in creating grassroots movements that benefit industries.
