Resources of the Week
3 selections.
--- Lobbyists--United States--Searchable Database
1) PoliticalMoneyLine�s Federal Lobbyist Directory PoliticalMoneyLine is a respected resource for campaign finance and related information. The site�s creators and chief database programmers, Kent Cooper and Tony Raymond, have built a large and growing assortment of both free and fee-based search tools. The Federal Lobbyist Directory (search or browse) contains data about, �Individuals or Entities That Lobby, Lobby On Behalf of Others, or Hire Lobbyists To Lobby For Them�. Currently, the database offers material for about 2500 lobbying organizations, 25,000 clients, and over 28,000 individual lobbyists. Searching �Microsoft� returns a list of current lobbyists, and links to images of original filings. A search for �Patton Boggs� returns a client list, links to political action committee data, a list of company lobbyists, and direct links to quickly access new registrations and former clients.
The Federal Lobbyist Directory (available free) as well as other fee-based and PoliticalMoneyLine resources are "more that worth" of a place on your virtual reference shelf. See Also: PoliticalMoneyLine and BNA Also Offer Access to the Latest Lobbyist Registrations
Browsing the filings is free. Keyword searching requires a subscription. See Also: New, Candidate & PAC & Party Disbursements Search
-- You Might Have Missed Congressional Research Service
2) Another Frequently Updated Source for Congressional Research Service Reports
I've said on several occasions, a single publicly available source offering access to CRS reports is not available. Plus, in many cases the reports you do find "on the web" are not very current. CRS spends a great deal of time updating material. A selection of reports compiled by the U.S. Embassy in Rome is one of a few sites that does a good job of making the most current version of reports (the ones it collects) available. Again, no single source offers access to all CRS reports.
