Citizens for a Sound Economy was a conservative political group operating in the United States. It was established in 1984 by David Koch of Koch Industries. Ron Paul was appointed as the first chairman of the organization; the CSE described itself as "hundreds of thousands of grassroots citizens dedicated to free markets and limited government, the highest level of personal involvement in public policy activism."In 2002, the CSE designed its tea party movement website, though the movement did not take off until 2009. In 2003, Dick Armey became the chairman of CSE after retiring from Congress. In 2004, Citizens for a Sound Economy split into two new organizations, with Citizens for a Sound Economy being renamed as FreedomWorks, Citizens for a Sound Economy Foundation becoming Americans for Prosperity. Both organizations played key roles in the Tea party movement beginning in 2009. Between 1986 and 1990, the Koch family foundations the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, the David H. Koch Charitable Foundation, the Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation granted a combined $4.8 million to the CSE.

The CSE was one of several organizations, connected with non-profit organizations that the tobacco industry and other corporate interests worked with and provided funding for after the 1971 Powell Memorandum. The CSE was funded by the tobacco, oil and sugar industries, including Phillip Morris, General Electric, Exxon. Other contributors included Hertz; the CSE "received $5 million from various Koch foundations between 1986 and 1990, David Koch and several Koch Industries employees serve as directors of CSE and the CSE Foundation."CSE assumed control of the financially troubled Tax Foundation and operated it as a subsidiary from CSE's offices until the split in 2000. Beginning in 1990, the Tax Foundation "operate as a separate unit" of Citizens for a Sound Economy. By July 1991, the Tax Foundation was again operating as "an independent 501 organization". OpenSecrets.org has no contributions listed to CSE after 2000, when it received a total of about $35,000, zero contributions in 1998. In 2002, CSE made public a "tea party" website.

The website stated "our US Tea Party is a national event, hosted continuously online and open to all Americans who feel our taxes are too high and the tax code is too complicated". In 2003, Dick Armey became the chairman of CSE after retiring from Congress. In 2004, Citizens for a Sound Economy split into FreedomWorks and Americans for Prosperity, according to the British newspaper The Guardian. Dick Armey stayed as chairman of FreedomWorks, while David Koch stayed as chairman of Americans for Prosperity. On July 23, 2006, The Washington Post reported on the organization's tactics in signing up as members people who did not know about the organization, by enrolling them as members during unrelated insurance transactions in order to boost membership numbers; the group obtained about $638,000 and 16,000 members through the sale of insurance policies in this way, according to the report. When someone signed up for insurance through "Medical Savings Insurance Company", they were automatically signed up for Citizens for a Sound Economy without their knowledge, the report asserted.

Their information is subject to be rented out as the Medical Savings Insurance Company deemed fit, not uncommon for many groups who obtain client contact information. Critics suggested the effort as a way for this group to inflate their membership rosters, more by taking dues from people with no interest in the groups' politics; the group produced more than 100 policy papers each year in its run, delivering them to many congressional offices, sending out thousands of pieces of mail, getting coverage of its viewpoints in thousands of news articles around the United States. The group's representatives appeared on hundreds of radio and television shows and published hundreds op-ed articles arguing that "environmental conservation requires a commonsense approach that limits the scope of government," acid rain is a "so-called threat is nonexistent," and global warming is "a verdict in search of evidence."According to the conservative magazine Weekly Standard, CSE's greatest political success came in 1993 when it opposed Bill Clinton's proposal for a BTU energy tax.

In addition to fighting tobacco taxes and healthcare reform, the CSE was a member organization of the Cooler Heads Coalition. Oregon Citizens for a Sound Economy was accused in 2004 of encouraging George W. Bush supporters to help get Ralph Nader on the ballot in Oregon. Financial profile at OpenSecrets.org

This is a list of former high school athletic conferences in the Northeast Region of Ohio, as designated by the OHSAA. If a conference had members that span multiple regions, the conference is placed in the article of the region most of its former members hail from; because the names of localities and their corresponding high schools do not always match and because there is a possibility of ambiguity with respect to either the name of a locality or the name of a high school, the following table gives both in every case, with the locality name first, in plain type, the high school name second in boldface type. The school's team nickname is given last; this short-lived conference began when Hubbard left the Mahoning Valley Conference to join with four defectors from the Steel Valley Conference. When Western Reserve closed in 1990, Hubbard and Warren Harding rejoined their former conferences, while Howland and Niles McKinley followed Hubbard into the MVC. Warren Harding Panthers Howland Tigers Hubbard Eagles Niles McKinley Dragons Warren Western Reserve Raiders This football-only conference featured six schools in northeastern Ohio, with some of the strongest gridiron teams in the state.

Some of the schools competed in the Ohio Big 8 League for other sports. The league lasted 16 seasons, broke up because of the dominance of Massillon Washington. Warren Harding Panthers Canton McKinley Bulldogs Niles McKinley Red Dragons Massillon Washington Tigers Steubenville Big Red Alliance Aviators The league began as the AOC in 1976, as the Chippewa Conference split into this league and the Pioneer League. After Coventry replaced Tuscarawas Valley in 1983, the name was changed to the AOL.

Those three Cuyahoga County Conference schools experienced greater enrollment increases than the smaller schools in their conference. They had proximity to I-71, as well as the newly constructed I-271. Although Highland is mentioned in association with the league, it was never in the conference, they played in the Inland Conference before joining the Suburban League in 1977. Many Chippewa Conference schools included Highland in their non-conference schedules among several sports.

Various defections from within the county led to a short reformation of the league in 1954; the East and West leagues were revived two years later. Further defections to other leagues led to neither league being stable, they revived the county league in 1964.
