Groups to Protest GOP Corruption; Norquist "Pay-to-Play" Scheme
Despite K Street Scandal, It's Business As Usual For Abramoff, DeLay, and Santorum Cronies
WHAT: "Stop Corruption" Protest this Wednesday at 9:45 a.m. EST
Outside K Street Project meetingWHEN: 9:45 a.m. to 10:15 a.m., Wednesday, Jan. 18
WHERE: Sidewalk outside offices of Americans for Tax Reform, 1920 L Street, N.W. (20th & L Streets)
DETAILS: Members of MoveOn.org Political Action will launch their "Stop Corruption First" campaign Wednesday with a protest outside Grover Norquist's "Wednesday Group" meeting. The group will be joined by Campaign for America's Future and the Public Campaign Action Fund - leading anti-corruption groups. Norquist was a principal architect of the now infamous GOP K Street, "pay-to-play" project.
Norquist, with his allies DeLay, Santorum and Abramoff, were creators of a scheme to ensure lobbying firms, most of whose offices are located on K Street, would only hire Republicans and would make large contributions to GOP political action ommittees and candidates in order to secure passage of legislation for their clients.
