DCO-ZXE jgfPP Consumers have political clout US Consumer advocacy 1914, Walter Lippman “We hear a great deal about the class-consciousness of labour. My own observation is that in America today consumers’ consciousness is growing very much faster.” 1906, Senator Robert La Follette “The welfare of all the people as consumers should be the supreme consideration of the government.” 1932, President Franklin Roosevelt “I believe that we are at the threshold of a fundamental change in our popular economic thought; in the future, we’re going to think less about the producer and more about the consumer.” 1960, John F. Kennedy “The consumer is the only man in our economy without a high-powered lobbyist. I intend to be that lobbyist.”
