From this morning's Earlybird:
- "The withdrawal of" Charles W. Freeman Jr. as the pick to chair the National Intelligence Council "after an online campaign to prevent him from taking office has ignited a debate over whether powerful pro-Israel lobbying interests are exercising outsize influence over who serves in the Obama administration," the Washington Post reports. Who is responsible for Freeman's withdrawal? And why did the administration pick him in the first place? Earlybird's Pundits & Editorials section has opinion on these questions and more.
- "With Democrats in charge of both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue, this really ought to be a no-brainer: Should GlaxoSmithKline put a Democrat or a Republican in charge of its Washington lobbying shop?" Politico asks. "But, as obvious as the answer may be, the drug maker is wrestling with the choice -- and it sheds light on what seems to be an industry-wide partisan disconnect."
- "As the House LGBT Equality Caucus readies itself for an aggressive legislative agenda, a group of lobbyists has organized Q Street, an association devoted to establishing a network of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender lobbyists and those working for LGBT equality," Roll Call reports.
- "Obama's call to rein in the use of earmarks was met with derision" Wednesday, "even from some of his past reformer allies," the Washington Post reports. "A bipartisan collection of lawmakers said the proposals he offered... would do little to curb the practice and would do nothing to address the appearance of a connection between campaign contributions and spending programs ordered up by lawmakers."
- Politico reports on moderate Democrats' unease with the Employee Free Choice Act: "Caught between Big Business and Big Labor in the midst of a deepening recession," they're doing "anything they can do to buy some time while hoping that EFCA somehow goes away. Eleven Democratic senators and 22 Democratic House members who cosponsored the 2007 version of EFCA -- or 'card check,' as its opponents call it -- have steered clear of the version unveiled this week."
- With Obama "in the White House, tech companies have more hope they'll win this year's fight over patent reform," The Hill reports. "Tech companies have been pushing for a revamp of the nation's patent laws for several years. Lobbyists for Silicon Valley argue that their companies have seen their innovations bogged down in expensive, frivolous lawsuits that take their scientists and engineers away from the lab too often."

The fight for social approval towards a network of gay, lesbian and bisexual people isn`t easy at all. What would they expect? For society to change common views from what day to another? I`m anxious to see the outcomes of these lobbying campaigns. herbal smoke

In my own view, tech companies are much more facilitated than many other items in the national economy. If it hadn`t been so, tech companies wouldn`t have had this obvious evolution. Every XML editor, every new business or personal use software on the market are proves that this has been a field of glory in the economy. Maybe legislation isn`t as flexible as some would want to, but then again we`re reaching evolution.

I have to remind myself that some birds aren't meant to be caged. Their feathers are just too bright. And when they fly away, the part of you that knows it was a sin to lock them up DOES rejoice. Still, the place you live in is that much more drab and empty that they're gone. I guess I just miss my friend. Do you agree?
