 Extra!: The Media's Favorite Think Tank   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
The Heritage Foundation boasts of enormous clout on Capitol Hill--yet insists that it doesn't "lobby," a necessary denial to retain tax-exempt status with the IRS.

Heritage Foundation staffers helped write the Istook Amendment (Christian Century, 8/16/95), testified in favor of it on Capitol Hill widely distributed a printed argument in favor of it, became a source for journalists covering it, and wrote a Washington Post op-ed article promoting it (9/1/95).
