[American Petroleum Institute] API is coordinating a series of “Energy Citizen” rallies… we are asking all API members to get involved… recent opinion research… conducted for API demonstrates that our messages… work extremely well and are very persuasive with the general public and policy influentials… our member company… commitment to provide significant attendance - is essential to achieving the participation level… API will provide the up-front resources to ensure logistical issues do not become a problem… Please treat this information as sensitive… we don’t want critics to know our game plan.

I hate that there are organizations created by groups like the API with names like Energy Citizens…
and bills with names like “Clean Water Assurance Act” that get rid of regulation of mercury levels in drinking water.
