	K Street (Washington, D.C.) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		K Street is a major thoroughfare in the United States capital of Washington, D.C. known for the numerous think tanks, lobbyists, and advocacy groups that exercise influence from this location.
		In alignment with the city's Cartesian-coordinate-based street system, there is another K Street in its southern half; this one running between the Potomac River at the western edge of the Southwestern quadrant (as K St. S.W.) to the Anacostia River at the eastern edge of the Southeastern quadrant (as K St. S.E.).
		K Street also runs as a tunnel underneath Washington Circle, allowing traffic to avoid the circle, which is an intersection with 23rd St, Pennsylvania Ave, and New Hampshire Ave.

	K Street Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The K Street Project is an effort by the Republican Party to pressure Washington lobbying firms to hire Republicans in top positions, and to reward loyal GOP lobbyists with access to influential officials.
		The project is named for K Street in Washington, D.C., where the largest lobbying firms have their headquarters.
		In this view, the K Street Project was simply a way of ensuring that those lobbying in Congress had political views in line with those who hired them to lobby.

	Science Fair Projects - K Street (Washington, DC)
		K Street in Washington, D.C. is an east-west street, starting in the southern part of Georgetown in the city's Northwestern quadrant across Downtown Washington to Florida Ave in the Northeastern quadrant just south of Gallaudet University.
		That street is properly known as K Street, N.W. or N.E., since all four quadrants of Washington's Cartesian-coordinate-based street system have K Streets; however, the K Street in Northwest is the most famous by far.
		K Street provides a major east-west thoroughfare for traffic through Washington, primarily from Mount Vernon Square (location of the new D.C. Convention Center) to the Whitehurst Freeway.

	AfterEllen.com - K Street's Bisexual Republican
		HBO's new political drama series K Street offers one of the more unusual bisexual characters we've seen on television recently: a politically conservative lobbyist who unexpectedly finds herself falling in love with another woman, only to have the relationship fall apart inexplicably when her girlfriend won't return her calls.
		K Street is primarily about the characters' professional lives, but bits and pieces of their personal lives creep into each episode.
		On the other hand, there is a fresh, anything-might-happen feel to K Street, and this, combined with the show's timeliness (each episode is filmed only a week before it airs) and air of authenticity is likely to keep many people watching despite the frequent difficulty in understanding what's going on at any given moment.

	K Street Project - SourceWatch
		The K Street Project is a project by the Republican Party to pressure Washington lobbying firms to hire Republicans in top positions, and to reward loyal GOP lobbyists with access to influential officials.
		K Street in Washington DC is where the big lobbying firms have their headquarters and is sometimes refered to as the fourth branch of government.
		By contrast, K Street is aggressively courting GOP lawmakers who have announced their retirements, suggesting that the business community is confident the GOP will retain the Speaker's gavel in January and that business wants to fortify its Republican Rolodexes." [2]

	"Welcome to the Machine" by Nicholas Confessore
		K Street used to be a barrier to sweeping change in Washington.
		Slowly, the GOP is marginalizing Democratic lobbyists and populating K Street with loyal Republicans.
		The larger the Republican majority, the less reason K Street has to hire Democratic lobbyists or contribute to the campaigns of Democratic politicians, slowly starving them of the means by which to challenge GOP rule.

	HBO: K Street
		K Street stars political spinners James Carville and Mary Matalin, playing themselves in quasi-fictional circumstances: they run a start-up D.C. lobbying and consultancy firm.
		K Street's most flabbergasting moment of cause/effect collapse took place in the first episode when Howard Dean is initially shown being coached by Carville and Paul Begala and later appears on an actual television broadcast delivering the joke Carville had placed in his mouth.
		K Street stars an unlikely mix of actors and real-life consultants, including husband-and-wife James Carville and Mary Matalin.

	Targeting Lobbyists Pays Off For GOP
		Partly because of the "K Street Project" -- and partly because of GOP control of Congress and the presidency -- virtually every major company or trade association looking for new top-level representation is hiring or seeking to hire a prominent Republican politician or staffer, according to Republicans and Democrats tracking the situation.
		The K Street project -- named for the Washington corridor thick with lobbying firms -- also is planting a new crop of Republican lobbyists rich enough to give back to the party in the years ahead.
		While the K Street Project dates to 1995 and the speakership of Gingrich, it wasn't until President Bush won the White House and Republicans the House and Senate that companies started scrambling to hire prominent conservatives.

		On the other hand, prepping candidates for debates isn't what the real K Street -- that Washington bastion of lobbying power -- is all about.
		Plus, when most people in Washington think of K Street, they think of lobbyists looking to pass certain bills or advance certain interests by charming, cajoling and buying off members of Congress.
		The real Washingtonians who dominate K Street may be too involved in their own experiences to star in a show that successfully appeals to a mass audience.

	In Defense of the K Street Project by Chuck Muth
		"K Street" refers to the corridor of fancy high-rise office buildings in Washington, D.C., which are populated with Gucci-wearing lobbyists of every make, size, shape and fashion.
		K Street is to the federal government what Wall Street is to financial markets.
		The K Street Project is "non-partisan research of political affiliation, employment background, and political donations of members in Washington's premier lobbying firms, trade associations, and industries." In other words, it's purely and simply a research tool.

		The K Street Gang is the inside story of how a group of self-styled Republican reformers succumbed to the temptations of power, becoming even worse than the Democrats they had been elected to replace.
		The K Street Gang is an incisive look at the rise of the Republican party since Bill Clinton's first term presidential win, into George W. Bush's second term, and it's current status at the hands of some truly powerful, greedy, and legally challenged members.
		Creating the K Street Gang began in 1995 with DeLay's compiling a list of 400 of the largest PACs; one by one their top lobbyists were called in to receive the message - to protect their interests they needed to stop giving to the Democrats.

	CQPolitics.com - TX 22: Hammer to Swing Again on K Street?
		It was DeLay, after all, who had masterminded the GOP’s K Street project, the phenomenally successful bid to mint a new generation of Republican fellow travelers atop Washington’s lobbying hierarchy.
		K Street, at this point, is as much the Hammer’s natural habitat as the 22nd District in the Houston suburbs.
		But as a K Street guru, DeLay would also have to endure the status downgrade of all lawmakers turned lobbyists — wooing legislators one formerly gave marching orders to, or nursed bitter grudges against.

	Matthew Continetti on The K Street Gang on National Review Online
		There is a longstanding willingness on the part of the K Street Conservatives to overlook the ethical backgrounds of their clients and friends.
		Continetti: The K Street Project was the effort, beginning in 1989, to link Republican lobbyists to Capitol Hill, and move the lobbying industry — Washington’s growth industry, along with government — in a Republican direction.
		K Street Conservatism is rhetorical conservatism coupled with self-dealing.

		The "K Street Project," which was led by conservative activist Grover Norquist and then-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, was an effort to press Washington's lobbying firms and trade associations to hire Republicans who share their agenda.
		Santorum said he viewed the term the "K Street Project" as a generic reference that could include his overtures to lobbyists and trade associations.
		Santorum, who is in the midst of a tough re-election campaign, was not involved in the formation of the "K Street Project" in the mid-1990s.

	The New York Review of Books: Selling Washington
		The Republican purge of K Street is a more thorough, ruthless, vindictive, and effective attack on Democratic lobbyists and other Democrats who represent businesses and other organizations than anything Washington has seen before.
		The K Street Project has become critical to the Republicans' efforts to control all the power centers in Washington: the White House, Congress, the courts—and now, at least, an influential part of the corporate world, the one that raises most of the political money.
		When the Republicans first announced the K Street Project after they won a majority in Congress in the 1994 election, they warned Washington lobbying and law firms that if they wanted to have appointments with Republican legislators they had better hire more Republicans.

		Once established as a ruthlessly effective way for incumbents to raise money, the K Street Project model was ready for export to statehouses nationwide.
		If Austin did embrace the K Street Project model in the first years of this century, top lobbyists and lobby firms seeking access to Texas’ GOP leadership would have come under enormous pressure to dramatically increase their political contributions.
		Conversely, once the K Street model came to town, elite lobbyists who did not succumb to this pressure would have fallen out of the top tier of Texas’ lobby elite.

		DeLay and Norquist believed that the lobbying community (aka K Street) was systematically (a) supporting Democrats with campaign contributions and (b) skewing its advice to its clients in the direction of Democratic public policy.
		DeLay and Norquist were right in saying that K Street was skewing public policy toward the Democrats, just as old media have been skewing public opinion toward the Democrats.
		But I don't think the project of trying to shape K Street in your party's direction is inherently illegitimate.
