National Journal's Under the Influence

Friday, March 19, 2010 9:00 AM

Advocacy and lobbying stories from this week's National Journal: (subscription)

"Inside The Energy Bill War Room": When a group of young environmental activists set out to picket a late-February fundraiser hosted by nuclear power and coal-industry lobbyists for Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, the protesters didn't have far to go.

The swank downtown restaurant chosen for the event just happened to be in the same building where the demonstration was conceived. Six stories above sits the war room of a well-oiled but little-known operation called Clean Energy Works, created last fall by more than 50 nonprofit groups to push a comprehensive energy bill through the Senate.

"The Bible Goes To School": Kentucky is considering a bill that would establish an elective social studies course on the Bible in public high schools. Some advocates say that it will improve student behavior. Skeptics see a potential breakdown of the separation between church and state.

"On The Move:" Gloria Dittus has been working the public-relations game for a long time, and she's happy to share her business philosophy: "The great politicians from Tip O'Neill to Ronald Reagan understood that all politics is local. And you need to get out of the intelligentsia environment and talk to people on their own terms, in their backyards." Her latest project is Story Partners, which will do traditional coalition-building and digital media outreach for legislative and regulatory campaigns.

The politicians don't care about the environment. They'll leave it to the next generation to deal with.

Since I truly committed to following my heart and lead an entrepreneurial life, I am very conscious of money - how can I get the word out without spending a lot of money, and when I do need to spend money how can I do it creatively and in ways to support others.

If we are to have a more inclusive society how can we have a bible class?  Surely this should be religious studies so the school looks at all religions so we can foster more understanding and inclusivness.  Johnny from how to potty train a puppy

Ms Dittus understands that politics begins on the local levels. Politicians need to get out of the intelligentsia environment and talk to people on their own terms, in their backyards. Thank you for a very interesting post.
