I found something interesting when reading HR 984 (ok, I'm a geek) The term "significant contact" stands out like a sore thumg and begs further digging. This is what I found: Under Sec. 604 Definitions: `(2) SIGNIFICANT CONTACT- `(B) EXCEPTION- The term `significant contact' does not include any communication that is an exception to the definition of `lobbying contact'-- This is significant! This is just a single entry in the long list of Federal exceptions re: "lobbying contact": "Communications by a Tax-Exempt Church, association of churches or religious order;" <a href="http://www.arnoldporter.com/publications_articles.cfm?practice_ID=0&publication_id=502" rel="nofollow">http://www.arnoldporter.com/publications_articles.cfm?practice_ID=0&publication_id=502</a> I make no assumptions about whether AFA knows this. Regardless, your article is tops. Thanks so much for posting. Hello Josh, I’ve been researching this story and came across your great post about it.

Under Sec. 604 Definitions:

`(2) SIGNIFICANT CONTACT-

`(B) EXCEPTION- The term `significant contact’ does not include any communication that is an exception to the definition of `lobbying contact’–

This is significant! This is just a single entry in the long list of Federal exceptions re: “lobbying contact”:
