About Foriegn Influence Transparency Inititative While investigations into Russian infuence in the 2016 election regularly garner front-page head- lines, there is a half-billion-dollar foreign infuence industry working to shape U.S. foreign policy every single day that remains largely unknown to the public. The Foreign Infuence Transparency Initiative is working to change that anonymity through transparency promotion, investigative research, and public education.

  • Top Lobbyists 2016: Hired Guns
    Top Lobbyists 2016: Hired Guns By The Hill staff - 10/26/16 06:00 AM EDT Lobbying runs deep in Washington. Every day, thousands of law firms, associations and advocacy groups seek to exert influence over policymaking away from the glare of presidential and congressional politics. In such a crowded field, a select few have shown an ability to get things done — and it’s those movers and shakers who are among The Hill’s Top Lobbyists. From the “hired guns” who populate K Street, to the lobbyists who derive strength from grassroots organizing, to the trade associations harnessing industry might, to the professionals representing America’s biggest companies, influence comes in many forms. Many of the people on The Hill’s list are not formally registered to lobby. We use the term broadly here to encompass Washington’s influence arena and those who do battle within it. Josh Ackil and Matt Tanielian, Franklin Square Group From Apple to Uber, the hottest names in the tech world trust this bipartisan firm with their advocacy efforts. Andy Barbour, Smith-Free Group Barbour, a former Clinton administration official, is among the top Democrats on K Street when it comes to financial issues. Haley Barbour, Lanny Griffith, Ed Rogers and Loren Monroe, BGR Group This GOP-run powerhouse has made strategic Democratic hires in recent years, giving it more range when representing its stacked client roster. Doyle Bartlett, Eris Group The firm is well established in the financial services landscape, counting everyone from angel investors to hedge funds to payday lenders as clients.

  • September 18, 2018 Democracy Reform Task Force Rep
    � -.· ,.. ..7 1, . � � SEPTEMBER 18, 2018 DEMOCRACY REFORM TASK FORCE REP. JOHN SARBANES, CHAIR President Donald J. Trump campaigned on a promise to “drain the swamp” in Washington. He vowed that as President he would take steps to break the “cycle of corruption” and end “decades of special interest dealing,” 1 and he pledged to aggressively pursue meaningful reforms to improve transparency and accountability in government. 2 But President Trump has broken this promise to the American people. Specifically, the Trump Administration has: • Made a Mockery of Ethics Law and Regulation • Promoted a Culture of Secrecy in the Executive Branch • Stacked His Cabinet with Big Money Campaign Donors • Installed a Special-Interest Revolving Door into the Trump White House • Put Big Money Ahead of the Public Interest • Turned the Presidency into a Profit-Making Enterprise • Pursued Public Policy for Trump’s Personal Benefit • Raided the Treasury to Pay for Vacation & Private Business Promotion As President Trump marks his 600th day in office, this report – the sixth edition in the Democracy Reform Task Force’s series of “100 Ways” oversight reports – lists 600 ways that the Trump Administration has broken its campaign promises. Here are all of the examples. 1 Donald J. Trump Campaign. “Trump Pledged to Drain the Swamp and Impose Congressional Term Limits.” October 18, 2016. 2 Ibid President Trump’s “Ethics” Executive Order was supposed to “drain the swamp.” As this exhaustive list shows, the Executive Order was just another example of President Trump’s tendency to overpromise and underdeliver. We have continued to witness the Administration openly flouting ethics regulations and conflict-of-interest law to an unprecedented degree.

  • Governing to Save the Earth an Analysis of How to Elect a Pro-Climate Congress in the United States of America
    Governing to Save the Earth An Analysis of How to Elect a Pro-Climate Congress in the United States of America Degree of Master of Science (Two Years) International Master’s Program in Human Ecology CPS – Culture, Power and Sustainability (120 ECTS) Human Ecology Division Department of Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences Lund University Author: Aaron Danowski Supervisor: Andreas Malm Term: Spring 2019 P a g e | 1 Abstract: This thesis aims to provide a political strategy for building a lasting pro-climate governing majority in the House and Senate. It analyses the current state of the pro-climate coalition in Congress and lays out the top opportunities for and threats to climate governance in the US. Overall, passing robust climate legislation through the US Congress requires a clear understanding of how social identities drive voting behavior, not policy preferences or using votes to hold elected officials accountable. Using America’s dominant regional and racial social group identities as an analytical frame, I argue that progress on climate change is possible only if climate advocates employ a region by region electoral political strategy that: 1. maximizes the number of pro-climate members of congress from Democratic regions 2. creates a workable majority by helping Democrats win seats in swing regions and the Far West; and 3. reforms the Senate rules concerning the filibuster in order to adapt to the new normal of highly competitive American politics. Even if this strategy is successful, I argue that passing the broad suite of climate legislation necessary to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 will likely require long-lasting partisan realignment that produces a clear majority from a large cross-section of America’s thirteen ethnoregions.
