Climate Change Debate Sullied By Forgeries

Congressional recess discussion of pending climate change bills will undoubtedly be highlighted by the fact that a prominent 17th Street lobbying firm in Washington, D.C. apparently sent forged letters purporting to be from two Virginia civil rights groups to Congressman Tom Perriello, Congressman Chris Carney and Congressman Kathy Dahlkemper, and advocating opposition to the pending legislation in the House. House Global Warming Chairman Edward Markey has launched an investigation into the forgeries, and Bonner's business practices. Bonner has said the forgeries were created by a temporary employee who has already been fired.
