Congress Letter To IPVM About Lobbying + Our Response
Congress recently sent IPVM a letter informing us we "may be required to register...pursuant to the Lobbying Disclosure Act." We confirmed this was based on a complaint filed by an anonymous third-party.
In the interests of transparency, below is the letter we received and our response explaining why we do not intend to register.
