CREW and the SPLC: two outstanding groups who work tirelessly behind the scenes

citizens for responsibility and ethics in washington and the southern poverty law center are two groups that, day after day, and year after year, work behind the scenes to investigate and report on what's REALLY going on...

crew...

Since 2003, CREW has closely monitored government ethics, bringing egregious conduct to light and holding public officials accountable for their misconduct. On our website you’ll find exhaustively investigated reports on corruption prepared by our research staff, high-impact lawsuits filed by our legal team, as well as the latest national ethics news.

splc...

Throughout its history, SPLC has worked to make the nation's Constitutional ideals a reality. The SPLC legal department fights all forms of discrimination and works to protect society's most vulnerable members, handling innovative cases that few lawyers are willing to take. Over three decades, it has achieved significant legal victories, including landmark Supreme Court decisions and crushing jury verdicts against hate groups.

i suggest checking out both the following items...

first, crew's comprehensive report [PDF] on the bush administration's ceaseless efforts to accrue unfettered power...

and, second, the splc report on active u.s. hate groups which includes an interactive map showing types of groups and their location by state... (note: the top three states in numbers of hate groups are florida (49), south carolina (45), and georgia (44), and, according to the splc study, hawaii, north dakota, south dakota, and rhode island have none...)
