Elton Gallegly’s Industrial Menu Tonight
Tonight, while most Americans move into the kitchen to cook themselves a basic meal, Congressman Elton Gallegly will be attending a party with food prepared for him at a rather unusual location: The patio of the Washington D.C. headquarters of a lobbying firm, Dutko Worldwide.
Elton Gallegly’s campaign staff has invited some other people to join the Congressman at that lobbyist patio. They’re asking those people – representatives of political action committees – to bring $1,000 each for Gallegly in exchange for admission to the lobbyist patio reception.
What will be on the menu at that patio gathering that makes the high price worthwhile?
The main course is direct access to a member of Congress. However, there are some rather juicy hors d’oevres to be served as well – the clients of Dutko Worldwide. These include:
Accenture
The American Chemistry Council
Aspect Energy
The Compressed Gas Association
Duke Energy
FedEx
General Motors
GlaxoSmithKline
HSBC (largest bank in the world, they say)
In Situ Oil Sands Alliance
Johnson Controls
Medtronic
NV Energy
Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America
Qualcomm
Target
Union Pacific Corporation
United Health Group
The US Olympic Committee
How are they all going to fit onto that patio? Simple – they’ll be represented by the lobbyists of Dutko Worldwide, who will be paid take care of the small talk for them.
