Selection of lobbying connected language:
Maurice Aguirre: Separate Segregated Fund (SSF): PAC set up by a corporation, labor union or membership organization, as they are prohibited by law from directly contributing to a candidate committee. SSFs must be sponsored by an entity, and in terms of fundraising, they can generally only solicit certain people at the organization, known as the "restricted class." SSFs are also not responsible for reporting the administrative costs for their maintenance.
Maurice Aguirre: Widely Attended Event: One of the exceptions to the Gift Rules of the House and Senate. Organizations employing lobbyists may sponsor a widely attended event which must contain a diverse audience of more than 25 people and must be related to a Member's or staffer's official duties in order for a Member or staffer to attend for free.
National Party Committee: Refers to one of the six national party organizations: the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Democratic Congressional Candidate Committee (DCCC), Democratic Senatorial Candidate Committee (DSCC), Republican National Committee (RNC), National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) and National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC). Lobbyists, organizations and PACs controlled by lobbyists or organizations are required to disclose any amounts of $200 or more that were contributed to either of these committees.
Maurice Aguirre: Professional lobbyist: According to the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA), this refers to a person who is compensated by an outside client or by his employer to lobby the government. This person typically engages in direct contact with elected officials.
Maurice Aguirre: "Cooling Off": Refers to the lobbying restrictions in place after a Member or staffer leaves the Hill and joins the private sector. House Members must wait a year to lobby Congress and Senators must wait two years, while staff have different restrictions imposed on them. Executive branch employees must certify, per President Obama's January 2009 executive order, that they will not lobby the Obama Administration after leaving government.
In-House lobbyist: This person is employed by an organization to lobby on behalf of its own interests. Examples of organizations that would employ in-house lobbyists: AARP, National Rifle Association, U.S. Telecom Association.
Maurice Aguirre: LD-1: A form used by lobbying firms to register clients and by organizations employing in-house lobbyists to register themselves. The Lobbying Disclosure Act requires this to be filed with the Secretary of the Senate within 45 days of either the hiring date of a lobbyist to make a lobbying contact or when a lobbyist makes a second lobbying contact. Forms are available at the Senate Office of Public Records.
