Rob Bishop Ready To Eat Coal For Breakfast

Posted on February 14 2012 by Congress Watcher

Late last year, U.S. Representative Rob Bishop voted in favor of H.R. 2273, a law that prevents regulations to protect American communities from toxic pollutants contained in coal ash from being implemented. Three days from now, the coal industry is giving Rob Bishop his reward.

Scott Brown ignores Boston Protests, Parties with Lobbyists 3x in 1 Week

Posted on October 10 2011 by Congressional Aid

Republican Senator Scott Brown drove by the Occupy Boston protests against corporate greed last week. He didn’t get out of his car. He didn’t talk to any of his constituents. He didn’t even roll down his window. He didn’t have time for people peaceably assembling to petition for the redress of grievances. That’s old-school constitutional [...]

Scott Brown’s Van Scoyoc Breakfast an Intimate Fundraising Affair

Posted on August 27 2011 by Congressional Aid

In November 2010 That’s My Congress reported on a breakfast fundraiser for Senator Scott Brown held at the offices of the Van Scoyoc lobbying agency, 101 Constitution Ave, NW, Suite 60W. 101 Constitution Avenue is the building in the upper-left hand corner of the image you can see to the right. In the lower-left hand [...]

Tim Rupli’s Fundraiser for Heath Shuler PAC appears to be a Complete Bust

Posted on August 21 2011 by Congressional Aid

The light may be on, but nobody’s home. As the Sunlight Foundation documented with its copy of an intercepted invitation, a fundraising dinner party was scheduled for January 18 2011 in the infamous 446 New Jersey Avenue townhome of anti-immigration and pay-day lender Tim Rupli. The beneficiary: a “3rd & Long” PAC run by Blue [...]

Jerry Moran Takes His Business Outside Kansas

Posted on August 19 2011 by Congress Watcher

Jerry Moran, U.S. Senator from Kansas, will hold his pay-to-play fundraising event at The Broadmoor, a “5 star Colorado Springs resort is located on 3,000 lush acres” with a spa, golf and tennis, hot tubs and valet parking. If that seems far removed from the lifestyle of most families in Kansas, maybe that’s because Senator Moran’s fundraiser is far removed from Kansas itself.

Posted on July 7 2011 by Congressional Aid

Senator Olympia Snowe of Maine is the author of multiple letters to government and business telecommunications players promoting “fiber optic backhaul investment” and “major construction of the fiber optic network.” Integra Telecom is the owner and operator of a 160,000-mile fiber optic network that spans eleven states in the USA.

Tom Latham Campaign Distant In Space And Time

Posted on February 22 2011 by Congress Watcher

Tom Latham’s 2012 campaign may just be kicking off next week, but it’s already wandered a long way from Iowa.

For Saxby Chambliss, Georgia is FlyOver Territory Between Him and a Fundraiser

Posted on January 14 2011 by Congressional Aid

Senator Saxby Chambliss is leaving the beltway of Washington, DC this weekend. Is he heading home to Georgia, the state he represents? That depends on whether you count Georgia airspace. Senator Chambliss will be heading to the state of Florida instead, where he’ll be hosting a fundraiser for his “Republican Majority Fund”, a “leadership committee” [...]

Text of Anthony Weiner’s Speech on OathGate and the Ridiculousness of a 4 Minute Debate

Posted on January 7 2011 by Congressional Aid

Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York took to the floor of the House today to explain in all the time he was allotted — a mere two minutes — to explain why it’s a serious matter for Pete Sessions and Michael Fitzpatrick to skip the Oath of Office, hold a fundraiser, never be sworn in [...]
