<p><b>Feather, Larson & Synhorst DCI</b> (<b><span style=" color: #ED1C24;">FLS-DCI) </span></b>are "Specialists in Telephone Contact Business." The telemarketing company used to be known as Feather Hodges Larson & Synhorst DCI. In 2000, the Washington DC-based <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/DCI_Group" title="DCI Group">DCI Group</a> was spun off from FLS-DCI.</p>
<p>
FLS-DCI has been one of the largest corporate receipents of funds from the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Republican_National_Committee" title="Republican National Committee">Republican National Committee</a> in 2004. FLS-DCI has close ties to key White House advisor <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Karl_Rove" title="Karl Rove">Karl Rove</a> and others in the GOP.
FLS-DCI specializes in creating phony front groups to make it appear as if there's a groundswell of support for its clients' issues.
One of its most prominent front groups is <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Voices_for_Choices&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Voices for Choices (page does not exist)">Voices for Choices</a>. This fake coalition of conservative groups is runing ads nationwide in support of AT&T's key issues. AT&T, which has donated millions to the Republican Party and the Bush Campaign in 2004 - and whose general counsel served on Bush's transition team, is one of FLS-DCI's largest and most important clients.
Other FLS-DCI phony productions include <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Responsible_Electronic_Communications_Alliance&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Responsible Electronic Communications Alliance (page does not exist)">Responsible Electronic Communications Alliance</a> and <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Hands_Off_the_Internet" title="Hands Off the Internet">Hands Off the Internet</a>.
On its web site, FLS-DCI states:
"We use state-of-the-art technology to target and communicate with key constituencies. We have a reputation for connecting the right message to the right people. Our team has experience designing and implementing successful phone programs in all 50 states.
"Our client list consists of the last five Presidential Campaigns including <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Bush/Cheney_2000" title="Bush/Cheney 2000" class="mw-redirect">Bush/Cheney 2000</a>. We also provide services for the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Republican_National_Committee" title="Republican National Committee">Republican National Committee</a>, the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/National_Republican_Congressional_Committee" title="National Republican Congressional Committee">National Republican Congressional Committee</a>, and hundreds of Republican State Parties and candidates on all levels, as well as corporations, associations and other organizations.

<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">But suspicions abound that behind all the secrecy the independent groups<b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>may not be so independent.</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>During the 2004 presidential election, a<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Washington Post</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>reporter witnessed what seemed to be evidence of collusion between a nonprofit independent group, Americans for Tax Reform, and the Bush-Cheney campaign. As reported in the newspaper, she saw ATR’s founder, Grover<font color="#ff0000"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Norquist, give Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman</font><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>a confidential list of conservative activists in 37 states. When a watchdog group filed charges against ATR based on the<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>Post</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>story, the Federal Election Commission found “reason to believe” that the transfer constituted an illegal contribution from a corporation (ATR) but declined to take further action. ATR and the Bush-Cheney campaign maintained that the list had no monetary value because the information in it was publicly available, a premise the FEC did not accept.</span>
The moral of this story: It is almost impossible to prove cooperation between candidates and independent groups, even though everyone assumes that it happens on a daily basis. And even violations that could be proven would likely not be punished.
Also in the 2004 campaign, a number of consultants worked both for a presidential campaign as well as an allied independent group. Washington attorney<b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Ben Ginsburg was forced to resign when it was learned that he was serving as counsel to both the Bush campaign and the Swift Boat Veterans organization. Ginsberg also was counsel for Progress for America during 2004.<span style=" color: #ED1C24;"> Tony Feather,</span> a former political director of Bush-Cheney 2000 and a good friend of White House adviser Karl Rove, was the founder of PFA.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></b>Originally, the group’s purpose was to support Bush’s agenda. When the group began running independent issue ads supporting Bush’s reelection,<span style=" background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Feather left PFA. But his firm, Feather Larson Synhorst-DCI, went on to do campaign work for Bush-Cheney 2004 and the Republican National Committee.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span>When then-Federal Election Commissioner Bradley Smith was asked on MSNBC whether Ginsberg had violated the law, he replied: “Clearly, a lawyer can advise two clients.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><font color="#ff0000">What he can’t do is transfer inside information from one to another.”</font>...</p>

AFP advocates pro-tobacco industry positions on issues like cigarette taxes and clean indoor air laws.
AFP’s highest paid independent contractor in 2009 was <a target="blank" href="http://www.flsconnect.com/">FLS Connect</a>, one of the largest GOP pollsters and fundraisers. FLS Connect is a side project of the right wing PR firm DCI Group, which specializes in creating astroturf support for corporate interests and is responsible for organizing climate denial front groups such as Tech Central Station. FLS Connect <a target="blank" href="http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2009/753/148/2009-753148958-063a7424-9O.pdf">received well over $100,000</a> in fees from AFP in 2009. FLS Connect and the DCI Group are “<a target="_blank" href="http://minnesotaindependent.com/4037/the-ties-that-bind-sen-coleman-and-the-dci-group">sister companies</a>” says Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor party chairman Brian Melendez. FLS Connect was originally incorporated in 1999 as Feather, Hodges, Larson & Synhorst, according to filings with the Arizona Corporation Commission. In 2001 the firm’s name was changed to FLS-DCI. Then in 2006 the company’s moniker was switched to FLS Connect. Synhorst is a founder and current chairman of the DCI Group, while Feather worked as a lobbyist for the firm from 2001 to 2006. “It’s basically the same group of people who have established and run both organizations” says Menendez.
