Re: Sally Sussman/Pfizer Lobbyists subject of congressal investigation of Obamacare d
The dirty details of Sally Sussman...Remember, give to the Pfizer PAC! BAHAHAHAAHAHA!
Not every Susman has had the same luck in real estate. Lou Sussman’s daughter, Sally is famous for a taste so particular that she and her partner, writer Robin Cantor, could not find suitable housing in New York City on a $3 million budget.
But Sally Susman, who also attended Wednesday’s State dinner, pledged to raise between $200,000 and $500,000 for Obama’s re-election effort — the same amount Lou pledged in 2008. She is also one of Washington’s most influential political players, having visited the White House four times between 2009 and the fall of 2011.
Although she is not a registered lobbyist, she plays a number of important advocacy roles with Pfizer, the world’s largest drug company. She leads the company’s lobbying shop, as well as its Political Action Committee, which donated about 60 percent of donations to Democrats.
Susman is one of a score of Obama fundraisers who is a lobbying executive rather than actual lobbyist. Executives in such roles “sit together to do strategy and figure out (lobbying) tactics,” one veteran lobbyist told the Washington Free Beacon.
Pfizer spent nearly $14 million lobbying for the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and was instrumental in bringing pharmaceutical companies to the table to quash an attempt to roll back Medicare prescription drug programs that have cost taxpayers millions.
