there's a group that lobbies 4 lobbyists
has already funny they're called the American League
%uh lobbies as a logical name: unfortunately it's
credibility a problem for them its hurting their lobbying efforts
it's all things a cracka so
their president Monte word says everybody has that misconception that
lobbyists or walking around with a pocket full cache
and that's about it except Monte thats
exactly weathered ignored every congressman is there is a
I have campaign donations for you and in fact our group can do independent
expenditure so we can actually spend millions of dollars
so that you'll win if you vote our way it's not like they go on like comment
hate you wanna bring like an environmental group in will debate them
I think we got the better debating points up going up like a beleaguered
and then you buy their votes that's exactly what you do he
so they decided oh no that's not the problem the problem isn't that
we're doing exactly what our critics charge the promise arnie
so they get to name proposals
what they'd like to change the name the group to one is the sociation
a government relations professionals
who which is to government relations the other one is the National Association
a government relations professionals I love they know this but
those are very some Kirk it
looked as good as a professional liars so it's not that surprising that they
will change their name
to ally as opposed to what it was before which was they were really
the American League of lobbyists so muddy water explains
the new brand will seek to fully represent
the broad range responsibilities that a government relations professional
practices daily
you see they've actually got do a lot of different things now they say for
example they organize a grassroots
now do they actually
have grassroots no the represent giant companies
but with a giant companies do is a go pay a lot of money to so-called think
tanks
that then organize aggressors to get people they got here we're here for a
rally
I we hated the bank bailout where do we go well you go pro banker party what
that's organizing the grassroots and they come in with giant buses that are
all painted the common with doughnuts and everything else
and ago now here you go here Singh go to rally in favor of the health care
industry
and their grassroots going on and I got going on Brother house at all we're
gonna support corporation to
nurse so yes you do that as well
and how do you do that with apocryphal a cash then call you solve anything you
like
but american so very clear name for you in a pretty now there's little trick by
the way
the corporations that uses lobbyists have been doing it for a long time for
example
your work company called Blackwater me onto a lotta trouble right
is their private contractors in Iraq a shot down
a you know so many people on there was one incident
in a square in Iraq where they kill over a dozen people
I massive liability broke the law over and over again in court
one time after another so they're no longer Blackwater they were Z
but there's even more because nobody so what the hell that was
so there now Academy owes outright shin
well like water at least have the you know it manager being somewhere troop
lawyers on pretty Blackwater
right now all the sudden like on were intellectuals over here
0 are due to go I will accommodate a Academy burn people in four lads are
getting paid to do so
it still Blackwater
and that of course is philip morris well
a unfortunately you people cancer so they've changed their name
up now they're the Altria Group
to the south so altruistic so I give the cigarettes
outta altruism they happen even the cancer but that would %uh but that was
philip morris
where the good guys at all true so American legal obvious
try and do that same exact creek but I got bad news for you guys
inning on work lobbyists is a lobbyist
an American people still despise you for good reason
