Chellie Pingree’s (D-Maine) Shareholder Protection Act. Reclaiming rights, by Rep. Bill Pascrell  Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.) has a long letter in New Jersey about Citizens United. He also talks about his foreign influence legislation. Congress Wolin criticizes lobbying against financial overhaul, by Rebecca Christie  Treasury Dept. official Neal Wolin attacked the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and lobbying against financial reform yesterday. “The Chamber of Commerce -- funded, no doubt, with a good deal of your money -- has launched a lavish, aggressive and misleading campaign to defeat the proposed independent agency,” Wolin said. The chamber has embarked on “one of the most expensive special-interest campaigns in history,” which would put the economy at risk if it succeeds, he said. Congressional fundraising hits quarterly climax, by Arthur Delaney  64 fundraisers in a 24 hour period. There were 620 in the month of March alone; that’s 20 a day. In-house underreporting obscures millions in lobbying, by Alex Knott  “More than 1,200 companies, unions and other groups have underreported at least $338 million worth of lobbying during the past 12 years, according to a CQ MoneyLine study.” Other Supreme Court public campaign finance bill signed - West Virginia
