Attention oil company lobbyists: Roy Blunt would like your money

Looking for someone to talk to about your astronomical oil company profits or hatred of basic pollution controls?  Then clear your calendars for a June 17th "energy industry dinner" to honor Congressman Roy Blunt (R-K Street).  Admission is $1,000 per person, or $2,400 if you'd like be a "host."  For PACs, it's even higher -- you'll need a $2,500 check to get in the door.

Per details from The Sunlight Foundation, the June event is being organized by four lobbyists, representing various oil, gas, coal and other energy interests:

• Mark Anderson, a lobbyist for Exxon Mobil (and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Laboratory Corporation of America Holdings, Southern California Edison, Fur wRaps the Hill, Advanced Mechanical Products, Inc., New Generation Biofuels)
• David Gilbert, a lobbyist for Constellation Energy Group
• John Eichberger, a lobbyist for the National Association of Convenience Stores
• Mike Riith, lobbyist for the Southern Company

All part of Roy Blunt's "all of the above" approach to pocketing special interest money.
