  • Grassroots Lobbying Proposals Seem Not to Further Congress’ Interest in Correcting Lobbying Abuses
    POLICY PRIMER: Grassroots Lobbying Proposals Seem Not to Further Congress’ Interest in Correcting Lobbying Abuses By Stephen M. Hoersting and Bradley A. Smith (614) 236-6317 Abstract Of the several policy proposals circulating Capitol Hill to correct lobbying abuses, strengthen the relative voice of citizens, and add accountability to the earmarking process, one policy prescription seems oddly out of place. Proposals for so-called “grassroots lobbying disclosure” do nothing either to sever the link between lobbyist cash and lawmakers’ pecuniary interests, or to strengthen the relative voice of citizens. Grassroots lobbying—encouraging or stimulating the general public to contact lawmakers about issues of general concern—is citizen-to-citizen communication that fosters citizen-to-lawmaker communication. It correspondingly weakens the relative strength of lobbyist-to-lawmaker communications, in furtherance of Congress’ objective in seeking lobbying reform. Efforts to limit grassroots lobbying, require disclosure of donors, or compel lobbyists to register with the government to assist groups in contacting fellow citizens, strips donors and consultants of constitutionally guaranteed anonymity, and would deprive organizations championing unpopular causes of skilled representation. This anonymity, long recognized and protected by the Supreme Court, fosters political association, guards against unwarranted invasions of privacy, and protects the citizens who fund or assist groups such as Progress for America or People for the American Way from calumny, obloquy, and possible retribution—including retribution by public officials. Disclosure is not always a good thing. The rationale for requiring disclosure of contributions to candidate campaigns, and disclosure of direct lobbying activity, is the same for protecting anonymity in the discussion of policy issues: to protect citizens from retribution by abusive officeholders.

    CaliforniaInfluencers alifornia, once a conservative stronghold and the cradle of the Reagan Revolution, has been trending Democratic for years Cnow—and this year it was one of the few states where Demo- crats held their own against the extremely strong national Republican tide. In the top statewide contests, voters decisively chose veteran liberal Democrats Barbara Boxer for senator and Jerry “Moonbeam” Brown for governor over political newcomers who argued that their corporate experience made them ideally suited to guide the state through dire eco- nomic times. Democrats also continue to hold a significant edge in the state’s congressional delegation. While they may tilt to the left on average, successful California politi- cians run the gamut from Barbara Lee, the East Bay representative who was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 resolution authorizing the use of force in response to the 9/11 attacks, to Devin Nunes, the Central Valley representative who called the Obama admin- istration’s health care reform bill part of a plan to impose a “Socialist utopia” on the American people.

  • Shadowy 527 Groups Continue Soft Money Grab As 2002 Election Approaches
    Shadowy 527 Groups Continue Soft Money Grab As 2002 Election Approaches Groups Collect Nearly $108 Million During 2002 Election Cycle New disclosure reports filed by “527” organizations just weeks before the November 5 election show a continued race for unlimited “soft money” contributions that are used to pay for issue ads, direct mail, campaign organizers and other electioneering activities. Though only a limited number of the most recent third quarter filings are available, Public Citizen’s analysis of 527 groups’ fundraising shows that some of the most active groups have raised at least $107.7 million during the 2002 election cycle. 527 groups get their name from the section of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) code that governs them. They can accept unlimited amounts of “soft money” directly from corporations, unions and individuals. The groups are chartered to influence elections and can be broken down into two types: those controlled by members of Congress, “politician 527s,” and organizations created to promote specific special interest goals or ideological principles, “non-politician 527s.” While only a handful of the most recent reports are available on the IRS online disclosure system, Public Citizen collected scores of reports by going directly to groups’ offices and requesting copies of the filings for public inspection [as is allowed under 26 USC 6104(d)]. An analysis of these new reports and past filings show: § During the 2002 election cycle so far, 170 of the largest 527 groups identified by Public Citizen as active in federal elections have raised at least $107.7 million and spent $109.1 million.
