Default Actually, two \"good deeds\" can make a felony in lobbying in DC

I would really be cautious about what is said here.

IF the PPA is involved or becomes involved in making campaign contributions for example, then the "2 good deeds = 1 felony" applies:

It would be clearly illegal for a corporation, domestic or foreign, to reimburse people for making a contribution to a federal election campaign.

I do not know enough about the PPA activities to know if a similar rule would apply to their conduct, but I hope they have good counsel on this matter. I would also hope that FTP has good counsel of their own.
