Lobbying for Obama
2008-05-29 16:29:00 Incredulous, easy-to-debunk claims of presidential candidates are often subjected to fierce media scrutiny. In the case of Obama, however, the media has been suspiciously negligent. Supremely confident of his intractable media support, a carefree Obama conceals his contradictions and weak positions with blanket statements, effectively misrepresenting the truth, distorting his record to make it more ...

Consensus Between PPP & PML (N) in Linking with Lobbying Firms In Washi
2008-05-07 22:00:00 It is the norm that a new government in a country changes its lobbying link in Washington, DC as well. Presently, while the late Bhutto’s Pakistan People Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) are busy in keeping their alliance intact on the issue of restoration of sixty judges, they are also discussing the selection of two new lobbying and public relations firms in Washington to represent Pakistan. Currently Van Scoyoc Associates and Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide do lobbying and public relations for Pakistan. The country’s contacts with these firms will end within next few weeks. As these two major parties have negotiated the number and distribution of their ministries, reflecting the number of seats they have won in the Pakistani national assembly, they are also discussing with each other as to which two lobbying firms they are both comfortable with in Washington. In Islamabad, PPP is a bigger partner than PML (N) because it won more seats in the national as...

GlaxoSmithKline Spent $8.2M on Lobbying
2008-03-19 03:04:00 GlaxoSmithKline Spent $8.2 Million Last Year Lobbying on Drug-Related Issues WASHINGTON (AP) -- British pharmaceutical maker GlaxoSmithKline PLC spent more than $8.2 million last year lobbying the federal government on pharmaceutical issues. Glaxo advocated against patent-reform legislation that could weaken legal protections on drug patents. Technology companies supported efforts aimed at improving the U.S. patent system, but drug makers argued it could weaken patent protections by reducing infringement penalties. The patent-reform bill passed the House last year, but is pending in the Senate. ADVERTISEMENT The company also lobbied for increased funding for the Food and Drug Administration. Glaxo opposed a proposal by House Democrats that would have allowed the government to negotiate drug prices for seniors in Medicare. Currently private health insurers serve as the go-between drug companies and seniors. The measure, aimed at wringing lower prices from drug companies, sta...

US Congress raises eyebrows on Musharraf’s new lobbying contract
2008-01-10 11:38:00 A large section of US Congressmen are learnt to have raised eyebrows on Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf’s regime signing a 45,000-dollar-per-month contract with the Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide to "polish Pakistan’s image" in Washington. According to the Daily Times, the move is likely to draw criticism from the US Congress by the implied Islamabad perception that all that ails the Musharraf regime in Washington is solely a public relations problem. The US Congressmen, particularly the Democrats, are bewildered on how to deal with Pakistan, whose image suffered a beating particularly after Benazir Bhutto’s assassination. They are of the view of imposing tougher restriction on aid to Musharraf’s regime. "Democrats face a test over how to deal with Pakistan, an already thorny foreign policy issue further complicated by the controversy surrounding Benazir’s assassination. While some Democrats want to impose tougher restrictions on a...

Cable industry lobbying hard to avoid more stringent FCC regulation
2007-11-26 22:46:00 The telcos, led by AT&T with the willing help of FCC chairman Kevin Martin have been pushing for more regulation of cable operators. AT&T and Verizon are aggressively entering the pay TV business, making their motives obvious. Aside from “must carry rules” requiring the distribution of local broadcast channels on basic cable packages, the FCC has historically been pretty much hands off to encourage wider geographical coverage. The cable guys have been fighting back with their own lobbying efforts and the two sides of the duopoly appear to be in the initial phases of an all out war over who gets regulated how much. The five-member commission is set to vote on Tuesday on a report, proposed by Kevin J. Martin, the agency’s chairman, that would give the commission expanded powers over the cable industry after making a formal finding that it had grown too big. After news reports this month that Martin supported the finding–along with the commission’s...

He also was a lobbyist for deposed Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was widely criticized for endorsing "necklacing," the gruesome practice of execution where gasoline-soaked tires are thrown over...

Indonesia's Years of Lobbying Furiously
2007-06-02 02:07:00 Indonesia, the world's most populous Muslim country, has had a complicated relationship with the U.S., especially during the Indonesian military's occupation of neighboring East Timor.After 9/11, however, the U.S. has increasingly dismissed human rights concerns to provide Indonesia with military aid.Andreas Harsono details two major lobbying contracts that helped Indonesia grease the skids.From 2003 to 2004, the firm Alston & Bird had a $200,000 per month contract with Indonesia, which stipulated that former U.S. Senator Bob Dole would "actively participate in and supervise" lobbying for military aid, increased trade and business benefits for Indonesia. In 2005, the firm Richard L. Collins & Co. was hired on a $30,000 a month contract to lobby to "remove legislative and policy restrictions on security cooperation with Indonesia."This contract was with Indonesia's intelligence agency, BIN, which has "long been linked to human rights violations, including the 2004 assassinatio...
