Investigation Request Filed Against Unregistered Lobbyist SEIU Treasurer Anna Burger
From Americans for Tax Reform & Alliance for Worker Freedom on Thursday, December 3, 2009 11:13 AM
America’s largest union, the Service Employee International Union (SEIU) is a common utterance within the White House and will be a major player at the December jobs summit. In 2008 they gave almost $30 million to Obama’s campaign. SEIU President Andy Stern is the most frequent visitor to the White House according to their visitors’ log. Anna Burger,
Treasurer of the SEIU and Chairwoman of their Change to Win campaign
has even been appointed to Obama’s Economic Recovery Advisory Board and
is scheduled to attend the December jobs summit at the White House.
The problem; until 2007, both Stern and
Burger were registered lobbyists until they terminated their status,
yet their job duties or descriptions have not changed. This plus other
evidence appears to indicate that both are continuing to lobby without
registering and thus are violating federal law (and Obama’s campaign
promises).
Today, Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) and the Alliance for Worker Freedom (AWF) formally requested an investigation
by the acting United States Attorney Channing D. Phillips, Esq., into
the potentially illegal lobbying activities of the Service Employee
International Union (SEIU) Treasurer and Change to Win Chairwoman Anna
Burger.
