National Journal's Under the Influence

Tuesday, July 21, 2009 12:15 PM

UPDATE: Second quarter 2009 lobbying figures

As Under The Influence reported yesterday, the Senate Office of Public Records is processing all of the lobbying disclosure forms due Monday and we have a new top ten list as of this morning.

Coming in first place, as was the case last quarter, is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce with $7.4 million. The Chamber in June announced that it was going to be spending as much as $100 million on a campaign to protect "free enterprise."

Six of the top ten spenders in the second quarter were either in the health or oil industry. Big health spenders include the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, Pfizer and the American Medical Association. Chevron dropped to fifth place (still at $6 million) and its petrol brethren, Exxon Mobil and BP America, came in at eighth and ninth respectively.

So far, 120 groups spent at least a million on lobbying in the second quarter and of that 120, National Journal identified 22 groups that are related to health care.

Full top ten list here:

1. U.S. Chamber of Commerce - $7.4 million
2. General Electric - $7.2 million
3. PhRMA - $6.2 million
4. Business Roundtable - $6.1 million
5. Chevron - $6 million
6. Pfizer - $5.6 million
7. AARP - $5.3 million
8. Exxon Mobil - $4.3 million
9. BP America - $4 million
10. American Medical Association - $3.9 million

We will keep updating our data as the Senate continues to process the lobbying filings.

Lobbying involves more than persuading legislators. Professional lobbyists research and analyze legislation or regulatory proposals, attend congressional hearings, and educate government officials and corporate officers on important issues. Lobbyists also work to change public opinion through advertising campaigns or by influencing 'opinion leaders'.

It is knowledgeable why the health field requires so many financial resources at a national level. Because health is the primordial issue of well being. Unless dealt with all due importance, people might get unsatisfied and this leads to political and social controversies. As a horny goat weed sales consultant, I have been talking to people about health issues for a long time and I must admit this is a major concern in their lives.

It was only natural that the money should be spent on oil and health, these were the main issues presented over and over on the TV and the ones we've dealt with for a long time. Plus they matter a lot to us, we've come to depend a lot on these two things.This is a good article, it's like you took all the budget, placed it on the Skytron table and started to dissect it, to give a metaphor that's linked to the subject.

As we all see, numbers speak for themselves. I am really concerned with the oil industry expansion. It`s obvious the request on the market as days go by, yet costs involved in the entire industry makes car owners spend more and more on gasoline. The general trend shows that, on having to deal with so many expenses, car owners go for the cheapest auto insurance most of the times. It is natural, because they need to actually find a financial balance in their daily lives. Such articles are of extreme interest for all the fellow-internet browsers like me. It is important to know what the grand governments are dealing with, because this affects us too at a certain level.

A look at what drug companies spent on lobbying in the second quarter of 2009 shows an interesting dichotomy: It’s a parade of selfishness that, if successful, may end up doing more to expand government-run healthcare in the U.S. than President Obama’s reforms.
