They also published a Top Lobbyists:Grassroots list. http://thehill.com/business--lobby/top-lobbyists-grassroots-2009-05-21.html "The support of their own grassroots networks combined with their own legislative acumen give the following people an edge as they fight for their causes on Capitol Hill." There were several environmental group lobbyists on the list, including: Ken Cook, Environmental Working Group. Cook has challenged the orthodoxy that biofuels are by definition good for the environment. Anna Aurilio, Environment America. Aurilio is a ubiquitous presence on Capitol Hill. If Congress passes a climate change bill, some credit will be due to her tireless advocacy. Eileen Claussen, Pew Center on Global Climate Change. Claussen is a trusted source on the threat of global warming. Dave Hamilton, Melinda Pierce, Sierra Club. Hamilton and Pierce help make sure the Sierra Club’s extensive membership is well represented in Washington. David Hawkins, Natural Resources Defense Council. Few voices on climate change are as respected as Hawkins’s. You may have missed the other half of The Hill’s piece. They also published a Top Lobbyists:Grassroots list.
