Of course an agreement was going to be reached and of course that agreement is a sham, but it all fits perfectly with what the climate issue has become. The topic of climate change has become manna for exhausted liberals who have nothing much to say and policy failures on almost every front.

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.”

The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), a front group group financed by the biggest coal mining and coal-based utility companies in America, spent more than $92 million during the first two years of the Obama administration, much of it on lobbying and advertising against bills like Waxman Markey. The group gained infamy when one of its consulting firms was caught forging over a dozen letters from local NAACP groups and senior citizens to key lawmakers, asking them to oppose the bill.

One of the recipients of the ACCCE’s largesse was none other than one of Blue Line’s two partners, Michael Meehan. While Meehan led Blue Line’s pro-cap and trade effort, he also served as <a href="http://www.rollcall.com/issues/55_20/-37617-1.html">vice president</a> to an online marketing firm called Virilion. Disclosures show that Virilion, which also rented office space to Blue Line, helped ACCCE manage its anti–cap and trade marketing <a href="http://990s.foundationcenter.org/990_pdf_archive/521/521799853/521799853_200912_990O.pdf">budget</a> in <a href="http://990s.foundationcenter.org/990_pdf_archive/521/521799853/521799853_201012_990O.pdf">exchange</a> for $19 million during the two years in which the legislation was debated.

The conflict was complicated by the fact that Meehan, and his partner, David DiMartino, had been employed by an infamous polluter lobbying firm only months prior to taking up the cap-and-trade job. The pair had worked for the BGR Group, a lobbying firm founded by former Republican National Committee chair Haley Barbour, up until the month they were hired by the coalition of environmental groups. While Blue Line worked closely with the Obama administration and its liberal allies, Blue Line maintained a “<a href="http://www.rollcall.com/issues/55_20/-37617-1.html">strategic partnership</a>” with BGR, which at the time counted coal-fired utility giant Southern Company as a <a href="http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/firmsum.php?id=D000021679&year=2010">major client</a>.

Of course, this conflict of interest was not the only reason Waxman Markey failed. Senator Harry Reid could have written reconciliation rules into the January 2009 budget in order to pass it with fifty-one votes. President Obama could have been more forceful. The lazy traditional media that failed to report on climate crisis, pervasive corruption in Congress, Citizens United providing polluters a greater bludgeon to defeat reform politicians, the USCAP coalition that saddled legislation with industry giveaways and poison pills, the unprecedented lobbying by polluters, the collapse of moderates within the GOP—there are many, many reasons why a climate bill did not pass. But let’s be clear: reformers had issues from the inside as well.

UPDATE: Someone close to the Waxman Markey reform efforts e-mailed to note that in addition to the coalition money spent on field, individual advocacy groups, including the Sierra Club and several other green groups, spent an undisclosed amount on their own grassroots organizing that would bring the total above the $900,000 referenced above. Still, disclosures show the coalition Clean Energy Works spent a disproportionate amount on advertising and media consultants.

Haley Barbour (R-Miss.)

Governor of Mississippi

Barbour has a history of obstructing climate action (little known fact: he was the lobbyist behind George W. Bush's fateful early decision not to regulate CO2), but these days he's trying to sound more moderate.

On climate science: Barbour "challenged climate science during his past tenure as an oil industry lobbyist and chairman of the Republican National Committee," Politico reports.

More recently, Barbour has talked about reducing greenhouse gases but still sounded not entirely convinced by the science. In 2009, while testifying before the Senate about cap-and-trade, he said, "the reason I am here is that we do need to look at how best, in the best interests of the United States, and most effectively, to deal with the threat that scientists are saying CO2 has for the future of the climate." And in 2010, in praising his state's cleantech businesses, he said, "Whether you think climate change is manmade, whether you think it's inevitable, whatever your view of it is, there's things like we're doing in our state that are good economics, that are useful and they will reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

On climate policy: In 2001, Barbour sent a memo to the Bush administration arguing that it should drop plans to regulate carbon dioxide; shortly thereafter, it did.

In 2009, Barbour argued in The Washington Times that Obama's cap-and-trade plan "will be the biggest tax increase in history and will clobber low- and middle-income families. ... There are much better ways to address climate change and prudently reduce emissions here and around the world." (He hasn't elaborated on those better ways.)

Over the past year, Barbour has also been rallying governors to fight the EPA's efforts to regulate greenhouse gases.

<h2>Barbour's background</h2>

Barbour was the Director of the White House Office of Political Affairs for two years during the term of President <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Ronald_Reagan" title="Ronald Reagan">Ronald Reagan</a>.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Haley_Barbour#cite_note-4" title="">[5]</a>

Between 1993 and January 1997 Barbour was the Chairman of the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Republican_National_Committee" title="Republican National Committee">Republican National Committee</a> and has strong ties to both <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=George_H.W.Bush" title="George H. W. Bush" class="mw-redirect">George H. W. Bush</a> and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=George_W._Bush" title="George W. Bush" class="mw-redirect">George W. Bush</a>.

In 1991 he founded and, until 1999, was the Chair and CEO of <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Barbour_Griffith_%26_Rogers" title="Barbour Griffith & Rogers" class="mw-redirect">Barbour Griffith & Rogers</a>. According to Barbour, the firm was sold to the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Interpublic_Group_of_Companies&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Interpublic Group of Companies (page does not exist)">Interpublic Group of Companies</a> in 1999. Part of the sale deal was that the name remain the same even though Barbour no longer had a financial stake in the company.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Haley_Barbour#cite_note-5" title="">[6]</a>

"In 2000 Haley chaired the Bush for President Campaign Advisory Committee in Washington, D.C. He was one of ten members of Governor Bush’s National Presidential Exploratory Committee in 1999," a biographical note states.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Haley_Barbour#cite_note-6" title="">[7]</a>

<h2>Barbour on climate change</h2>

In August 2001 Judy Pasternak reported in the Los Angeles Times that while working as a lobbyist for electricity generators on March 1, 2001 Barbour wrote to <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Dick_Cheney" title="Dick Cheney">Dick Cheney</a> urging the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Bush_administration" title="Bush administration">Bush administration</a> to reverse its promise to restrict carbon dioxide emissions from power plants.

"A moment of truth is arriving," Barbour wrote. "Clinton-Gore policies meant less energy and more expensive energy. Most Americans thought Bush-Cheney would mean more energy, and more affordable energy," he wrote.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Haley_Barbour#cite_note-7" title="">[8]</a>

"The question is whether environmental policy still prevails over energy policy with Bush-Cheney, as it did with Clinton-Gore," Barbour wrote in the two-page memo.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Haley_Barbour#cite_note-New-8" title="">[9]</a>

Associated Press reported that Barbour wrote that "he was 'demurring' on the idea of whether regulating CO2 emissions was 'eco-extremism.'" "We must ask, do environmental initiatives, which would greatly exacerbate the energy problems, trump good energy policy, which the country has lacked for eight years?" he wrote.<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Haley_Barbour#cite_note-New-8" title="">[9]</a>

White House Shifted Carbon Dioxide Emissions Policy After Lobbyist's Letter </div>

WASHINGTON � When President Bush reversed his campaign stance on regulating carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants, he said the nation's energy problems – not pressure from energy industry lobbyists – changed his mind.

Documents released by the Bush administration Thursday in response to a court order shed light on the intense pressure the new president was under.

Two weeks before Bush's decision, lobbyist Haley Barbour virtually papered the White House, from Vice President Dick Cheney on down, with a memo suggesting the president must provide a sound energy policy by not taking action against carbon dioxide.

At the time, Barbour represented the interests of several energy companies that gave substantially to Bush's campaign.

"A moment of truth is arriving," Barbour wrote Cheney on March 1, 2001, in a two-page document on his lobbying firm letterhead that was copied into top White House officials and three Cabinet secretaries.

"The question is whether environmental policy still prevails over energy policy with Bush-Cheney, as it did with Clinton-Gore," Barbour stated.

The Commerce Department released a copy of the memo Thursday in a court case brought by the conservative group Judicial Watch, which is suing the Bush administration for records about White House energy policy. The memo was one of thousands of pages of documents released by the departments of Commerce, Energy and Transportation.

Late Thursday, White House spokesman Jimmy Orr said Bush was not unduly influenced by the energy industry.

"The president based his decision on what he believes is right for all Americans and has pursued the most aggressive initiative in American history to cut power-plant emissions as well as embarking on a new strategy for addressing global climate change," Orr said. "The president makes his decisions based on merit."

In the memo, Barbour said he was "demurring" on the idea of whether regulating CO2 emissions was "eco-extremism."

But "we must ask, do environmental initiatives, which would greatly exacerbate the energy problems, trump good energy policy, which the country has lacked for eight years?" said the former RNC chairman.

Among Barbour's 50 lobbying clients at the time was an industry coalition, the Electric Reliability Coordinating Council. The lobbying group – which paid Barbour's firm a half-million dollars last year – was set up by power-generation companies including FirstEnergy, Duke Energy and the Tennessee Valley Authority.

FirstEnergy was a top contributor to the Bush campaign.

As part of his presidential campaign, Bush proposed a "four-pollutant strategy" for curbing mercury, smog-causing nitrogen oxide, sulfur and carbon dioxide. The new Environmental Protection Agency administrator, Christie Whitman, embraced the strategy, but references to it were removed at the last minute from Bush's first address to a joint session of Congress.

Then in mid-March of last year, Bush changed course.

"For the eight years of the Clinton administration environmental policy prevailed over energy policy," Barbour said in his signed memo to Cheney, with copies to Karl Rove, Bush's top political strategist; chief of staff Andrew Card; Commerce Secretary Don Evans; Energy Secretary Spencer Abraham; and Interior Secretary Gale Norton.

The documents released Thursday also revealed constant contact between Evans and corporate energy executives regarding the Bush administration's energy policy. Evans, the former head of an oil and natural gas company, helped Bush raise a record amount of money during the 2000 presidential campaign.

In the documents, Evans personally responded to letters from top officials at Great Northern Properties, Hunt Energy Services, Fusion Power Associates and Barrett Resources Corp.

Great Northern Properties sent the Commerce Department a full analysis of what should be done to bolster the coal industry.

<h3>Fundraiser for Wisconsin anti-worker rights politicians</h3>

On March 16, 2011, BGR hosted a lavish, Washington, D.C. fundraiser for Wisconsin Republican politicians. 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="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Scott_Fitzgerald" title="Scott Fitzgerald">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="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-1" title="">[2]</a><a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-2" title="">[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="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-3" title="">[4]</a>

<h2>History</h2>

The company was founded in 1991. On its website it states "the firm represents a diverse, blue-chip clientele which includes Fortune 500 companies, international governments, trade associations, non-profits, academic institutions, hospitals, coalitions, and state and local governments. "<a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-4" title="">[5]</a>

In a profile on the company and its strong connections with the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Republican_Party_%28USA%29" title="Republican Party (USA)">Republican Party</a>, Thomas B. Edsall wrote in the Washington Post that "in less than a decade, the Barbour Griffith & Rogers lobbying shop has become one of the most profitable operations in Washington". <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-5" title="">[6]</a>

According to <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Haley_Barbour" title="Haley Barbour">Haley Barbour</a>, who was sworn in as the Governor of Mississippi in January 2004, the firm was sold to the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Interpublic_Group_of_Companies&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Interpublic Group of Companies (page does not exist)">Interpublic Group of Companies</a> in 1999. Part of the sale deal was that the name remain the same, even though Barbour no longer had a financial stake in the company. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-6" title="">[7]</a>

However in June 2004 O'Dwyers PR Daily reported that BG&R was discussing buying a controlling interest in itself back from Interpublic. It reported that "the former <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Republican_National_Committee" title="Republican National Committee">Republican National Committee</a> chairman has put his stake in BG&R into a blind trust. He has said that he isn't sure whether he will return to BG&R after he leaves office <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-7" title="">[8]</a>

In June 2004, O'Dwyers PR Daily reported BG&R recorded $1.6M in fees in 2003, according to Roll Call. <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=BGR_Holdings_LLC#cite_note-8" title="">[9]</a>
