Coal lobby's forgery scandal grows

Earlier this week we reported that Congressman Tom Perriello of Virginia got at least six letters opposing the climate bill that appeared to come from the NAACP and a Hispanic advocacy group -- letters later revealed as forgeries created by a public relations firm working for the nation's leading coal lobby.

re: Coal lobby's forgery scandal grows

On behalf of AAUW, we resent the act of fraud perpetrated against this esteemed, 128-year-old charitable membership organization. AAUW has worked a long time to build our good reputation and keep our name untarnished. Our members have used their collective voices to break through barriers for women and girls. The notion that someone would come along and co-opt that name, or attempt to harness that collective voice under false lights, is a breathtaking deceit. Here’s our response.
