Hearing on Fraudulent Letters to Congress Postponed

Because not all of the testimony was received in time, the Congressional hearing on fraudulent letters opposing the House climate and energy bill, scheduled for this morning, was postponed.

The Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming will reschedule the hearing for next week.

The faked letters came to members of Congress on the letterheads of progressive policy organizations but were written and sent by Bonner & Associates, a Washington firm contracted by the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity. Staff members from the organizations victimized by the letters are expected to testify, as well as people involved in the campaign to deliberately mislead lawmakers.
