...Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid is telling lobbyists not to lobby for the Estate Tax and Extension of Tax Relief Act of 2006 even if the provisions will benefit their clients and/or companies.

The K Street Project has just been notified by repeated and credible sources that Reid has taken his corruption scam one step further. Reid and his taxpayer-funded staff have been calling all Democratic Senate offices and asking for names of the companies, trade associations, and individual lobbyists contacting/visiting their offices in support of the Estate Tax and Extension of Tax Relief Act of 2006.

This is corruption -- the type of corruption between K Street and the Hill that American taxpayers hate and want to rid their government of. This is precisely the reason the K Street Project exists to highlight the undemocratic practices and pressure that hiring for access brings on the business community.
