Cheers man, working way through list
- I'm targeting the more socioeconomic ones first 
it´s a good idea to write to these think tanks.
This is why I personally believe Bitcoin to be a powerful disruptive technology - It's applications will be used for actual financial global benefit.
Now, not saying it's wrong for someone to make a profit or an organization to do so. Just that the protocol should be used to help communities and the average person essentially getting ripped off via corruption and inefficient fund allocation.
It would be equally naive to think all these registered entities on the list are just about turning a profit - Maybe wrong?
Some do however hold influence in the technological, innovation and governmental sectors - I think we need to dispel any of their concerns regarding the protocol, hopefully leading to a wider acceptance.

I have read that Rand corporation was the think tank that made USA win the cold war and made the united states the greatest nation in the world.
Hey, all those think tanks are only concerned about how they can get more of your money. Time to realize they don't count anymore. Your thoughts and value added actions are what counts.
From the bottom of my heart i'd like to say a big
FUCK YOU to those evil Rand corp bastards.
Thanks for helping fuck up humanity, go do us all a favor and die a quick death

Have to agree with you in certain respects - Their past endeavors are subject of debate and questionable integrity.
My small efforts are aimed just to invoke at least a response from them and governmental BTC acceptance without prejudice on my part.
Appreciate what you are saying though!

The Rand Corporation is a well funded collective group of researchers - The group expends resources to tackle problems prevalent in today's society.
Here's a link to their website for you to explore: http://www.rand.org/about/history.html
I just wrote a little message and Forwarded to all on Contacts page: http://www.rand.org/about/contacts.html Would be great if some other Bitcoiners on here could back me up and do the same. Any suggestions of other influential groups to target would be cool (promoting awareness/adoption)
Hi Naveena Ponnusamy and fellow Rand affiliates,
I am a professional geologist and investor in sustainable natural resources/technologies. The Bitcoin protocol came to our attention in 2012 and has been of much interest amongst my peers and associate engineers/scientists.
Although the technology has seen much media coverage in the past eight months and arguably in a speculative phase of adoption. It's construct and potential offers viable solutions to real world problems beyond the scope of financial gain. Anti-corruption and public transparency technologies are applications I personally believe the protocol can provide.
I note your mission statement:
"The RAND Corporation is a research organization that develops solutions to public policy challenges to help make communities throughout the world safer and more secure, healthier and more prosperous."
Has the Rand group looked into/made any preliminary informal investigations into the technology? I and many other people would be interested on hearing what your researchers think.
Best regards,
