Grassroots

Impressing state and federal elected officials has become very difficult in the past few years.

In the not too distant past, business organizations and their lobbyists were able to influence much legislation by merely picking up the telephone and speaking to one or two influential legislators or staffers.

Those days are gone forever.

As federal and state elected officials depend more and more on constituent reactions and opinion polls, you must find allies in congressional or state legislative districts, deliver your message to them, and get them to act with you, or on your behalf.

Remember, you share the public arena and compete with well-funded, "public interests" trying to influence public policy. Unfortunately, these groups are usually working under the guise of some politically correct, or sympathy-evoking cause, and have the undivided attention of the media.

Because of the new rules of engagement, the power of public opinion polls, and media involvement in public issues, it is impossible for business to get its message through without recruiting constituents in legislative and regulatory public policy debates.

Our services include recruiting and developing third party allies, as well as identifying issue-related constituents, and enlisting their support on behalf of client issues.

With our network of business contacts and coalitions, we can provide custom services to meet your individual needs at the state and federal level for every district in the country.
