I was curious to see what that articulate paragon, the AFP Communications Director, David Fladeboe (mentioned
in the article) looked like.
Here he is:
He's a registered lobbyist. His lobbyist info page lists him as Deputy Director of AFP. It may be of interest because
I think there are rules that lobbyists bringing members of the public to testify to their elected representatives in
the legislature are supposed to follow..... Something along the lines of they're only supposed to contact their state
senators and assembly people as individual voters. Not as part of an organized lobbying effort. But there's a little
more to it than that I wish I could remember.
