Guests were expected to donate a minimum of $1,000 at the door. They could become "sponsors" by donating $2,500 or "hosts" by donating $5,000. Guests included Wisconsin's Senate Majority Leader <a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Scott_Fitzgerald" title="Scott Fitzgerald" style="background: none; text-decoration-line: none;">Scott Fitzgerald</a> and the state's Assembly Speaker Jeff Fitzgerald. The event was held just days after Republicans in Wisconsin's legislature voted 18-1 to eliminate collective bargaining rights for public employees. The vote was held with no Democrats in attendance. All five Republican members of Wisconsin's congressional delegation were invited to attend the D.C. fundraiser, along with Republican U.S. Senator Ron Johnson.<a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-2" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[2]</a><a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-3" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[3]</a>The fundraiser sparked protest from pro-worker groups and workers' rights supporters who gathered in front of BGR Group offices to draw attention to Wisconsin Republicans' union-busting bill, and their subsequent efforts to raise money from out-of-state corporations in support of their actions.<a href="https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-4" style="text-decoration-line: none; background: none;">[4]</a><h2 style="background: none rgb(255, 255, 255); font-weight: normal; margin: 1em 0px 0.25em; overflow: hidden; padding: 0px; border-bottom: 1px solid rgb(162, 169, 177); line-height: 1.3;">History</h2>The company was founded in 1991.

The topic of climate change has become manna for exhausted liberals who have nothing much to say and policy failures on almost every front. (Disclosure: My firm represents interests in the fossil fuel and nuclear power industries.) And let’s face it, global warming is an issue that perfectly suits Obama as he warms up for retirement. He doesn’t really have to do anything, there is never any day of reckoning and it lends itself to sanctimonious moralizing and generally lecturing everybody about how they should live.”</div><div><div></div><div>

</div><div>Ex-Republican Party head Barbour to lobby U.S. for Ukraine</div><div>By Mike Stone, Ginger Gibson</div><div>WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Haley Barbour, former Republican Party leader and Mississippi governor, has been hired by the Ukrainian government to lobby U.S. politicians, according to documents filed this week.</div><div>Haley Barbour, the former Republican governor of Mississippi, speaks at the GE conference on "American Competitiveness: What Works" in Washington February 13, 2012. REUTERS/Joshua Roberts</div><div>The hiring of Barbour and his lobbying firm BGR Group comes at a time when U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s public embrace of Russian President Vladimir Putin has increased worries in Washington that the new administration may side with Russia in the Ukrainian dispute.</div><div>
</div><div>Russia has increased its military presence in Ukraine since annexing the Crimean peninsula in 2014.</div><div>
</div><div>Barbour and BGR agreed in late December to a $50,000 a month retainer to “design and implement a comprehensive government affairs and business development strategy” for the Ukraine government - including “arranging meetings” with U.S. officials, according to a disclosure filed Jan. 1 with the Department of Justice.</div><div>BGR also said in the federal disclosure filing that it “seeks to strengthen U.S.-Ukrainian relations and encourage private U.S. businesses to invest in Ukraine.”</div><div>

as conflict heats up over Nagorno-Karabakh, a tiny Armenian enclave in Azerbaijan, a covert battle is taking place on Capitol Hill to win the hearts and minds of lawmakers in Washington.Since hostilities began on September 27, hundreds of lives have been lost as Azerbaijani drones have flown within 20 miles of Yerevan, Armenia’s capital, and an Armenian strike was carried out on a military base in Azerbaijan’s second city, Ganja“The next targets could be oil and gas facilities in Azerbaijan, or Yerevan and Azerbaijan’s capital, Baku,” reports the <em style="font-family: " times="Times" new="New" roman="Roman" font-size="font-size" large="large" box-sizing="box-sizing" border-box="border-box" border="border" px="px" margin="margin" padding="padding">New York Times, an escalation with the potential to draw in <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/03/world/middleeast/armenian-azerbaijan-conflict.html" target="blank" style="font-family: " times="Times" new="New" roman="Roman" font-size="font-size" large="large" background-color="background-color" transparent="transparent" box-sizing="box-sizing" border-box="border-box" border="border" px="px" margin="margin" padding="padding" touch-action="touch-action" manipulation="manipulation" text-decoration-color="text-decoration-color" rgb="rgb" transition="transition" all="all" s="s" ease-in-out="ease-in-out">Turkey, Russia, and Iran</a> on opposing sides.Well-armed and financed Azerbaijan is receiving assistance from Turkey, an American ally.

They are also required to provide a list of the activities they undertake on behalf of the foreign country.Azerbaijan’s hired K Street guns are distributing what are euphemistically referred to in FARA documents as “informational materials.” These materials could be more accurately described as <a href="https://efile.fara.gov/docs/5430-Informational-Materials-20201005-77.pdf" target="blank" style="box-sizing: border-box; border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; touch-action: manipulation; text-decoration-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); transition: all 0.3s ease-in-out 0s;">propaganda</a>. The documents distributed on Capitol Hill highlight Armenia’s “provocative actions,” its “illegal” role in the conflict, that Armenia allegedly “kills Azerbaijani civilians, including children,” and how “Armenia’s leaders have been actively undermining the ongoing peace process.”The documents lobbyists distribute on Capitol Hill make some incredulous claims: that “Armenia has long been involved with Middle Eastern terrorism,” that “Azerbaijan has been consistent in urging substantive and result-oriented negotiations in order to achieve a breakthrough in the conflict,” and that “Turkey is not directly involved and is not a party to the Armenia-Azerbaijan conflict.”[docs]</div><div>

</div><div>Former Wisconsin Rep. Sean Duffy</div><div>
</div><div>By THEODORIC MEYER</div><div>
</div><div>11/12/2019 </div><div>
</div><div>Sean Duffy, the former Republican congressman who has aggressively defended President Donald Trump, is heading to K Street after resigning from Congress in September.</div><div>
</div><div>Duffy will become a senior counsel at BGR Group, a Republican-leaning lobbying firm that’s also home to former Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour. The firm’s lobbyists represent corporate clients such as Comcast and Pfizer, as well as the governments of Bahrain, Bangladesh, India and South Korea, according to disclosure filings.</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>Duffy, the former chairman of the House Financial Services Committee’s housing subcommittee, will head up BGR’s financial services practice. BGR lobbies for Credit Suisse and MassMutual, among other financial clients. He plans to register as a lobbyist, according to the firm.</div><div>
</div><div>The Wisconsin Republican became famous starring on the MTV reality series “The Real World” in 1997. He later became a district attorney in northern Wisconsin and was elected to Congress in 2010 as part of the Republican wave. He left office on Sept. 23, saying that he and his wife were expecting a child in October who “will need even more love, time and attention due to complications, including a heart condition.”</div><div>
</div><div>After resigning, he joined CNN as a paid contributor, where he attracted criticism last month for suggesting there’s a missing Democratic National Committee server in Ukraine — an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that’s been pushed by Trump.</div><div>
</div><div>He also questioned on CNN’s “New Day” whether Alexander Vindman, a decorated Army officer and National Security Council staffer who’s become a critical witness in the House impeachment inquiry, might be more sympathetic to Ukrainian interests than American ones.</div><div>
</div><div>“It seems very clear that he is incredibly concerned about Ukrainian defense,” Duffy said, referring to Vindman, who immigrated from Ukraine as a child. “I don’t know that he’s concerned about American policy.”</div><div>

</div><div>POLITICO Influence</div><div>Intelligence and analysis on lobbying — weekday mornings, in your inbox.]</div><div>
</div><div>Jeffrey Toobin, CNN’s chief legal analyst, described Duffy’s remarks as “insanity and, frankly, anti-immigrant bigotry.” Rebecca Kutler, a CNN executive, defended Duffy’s remarks at the time, saying that it was important to have contributors who reflected Trump supporters’ point of view.</div><div>
</div><div>Under House ethics rules, Duffy is banned from lobbying Congress for a year after leaving, but he’s allowed to lobby the Trump administration immediately — including former House colleagues such as Mick Mulvaney, the acting White House chief of staff, and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.</div><div>
</div><div>In a statement, Duffy said he was “eager to grow a financial services practice built on my experience working on behalf of the people with the Administration and federal regulators” as well as Republican and Democrats in Congress. He plans to advise financial services companies, trade associations and their members, he said.</div><div>
</div><div>Duffy didn’t start discussions with BGR until after he resigned, according to the firm.</div><div>
