We believe that consumers are best helped not by government regulation but by being allowed to make their own choices in a free market place. 0 0 2585975 45000 Center for Law and LitigationCEI's Center for Law and Litigation focuses on developing new approaches to fight overregulation through litigation. In areas ranging from our successful constitutional challenge to the Sarbanes-Oxley financial regulation law, to overturning federal fuel economy standards, the Center has already established major new precedents for combating regulations that restrict consumer choice, stifle innovation, and limit competition. 911385 Center for Economic FreedomCEI's Center for Economic Freedom works to ensure that voluntary economic transactions remain free from government coercion and control. The Center defends against attacks on these freedoms from bureaucrats and nanny-state busybodies, working to expand the orbit of voluntary arrangements in the economy - including banking and finance, labor and employment, insurance, the freedom to take risks as an entrepreneur or consumer, international trade and development, transportation, gaming, recreation, and many others. The Center aims for a world where the rights and benefits of free transactions are recognized, respected and protected. 866762 Center for Energy, Environment and RiskCEI's Center for Energy and Environment makes the positive case for abundant energy and promotes environmental policies based on economic freedom, property rights, and limited government. The Center works to combat the belief that prosperity threatens the environment, that the answer to every environmental challenge is more regulation and that risks can be abolished by limiting human ingenuity. 2106225 Other Program Services 2106225 6470347 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 56 0 1 43 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 X 10 8 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 AL AK AR CA CO CT FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT WA WV WI X Megan McLaughlin 2023311010 1899 L Street NW 12th Floor Washington DC 20036 Fred J Smith Jr 40.00 X X 227443 0 10381 Lawson Bader 40.00 X X 0 0 0 James Curley 1.00 X 0 0 0 William Dunn 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Gleba 1.00 X 0 0 0 Michael Greve 1.00 X 0 0 0 Tom Haynes 1.00 X 0 0 0 Leonard Liggio 1.00 X 0 0 0 Thomas Gale Moore 1.00 X 0 0 0 Frances Smith 1.00 X 23833 0 0 Jim Von Ehr 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sam Kazman 40.00 X 114742 0 9448 Megan McLaughlin 40.00 X 79659 0 4713 Amanda France 40.00 X 48376 0 4693 Greg Conko 40.00 X 82883 0 4740 Wayne Crews 40.00 X 156343 0 8771 Myron Ebell 40.00 X 111014 0 2113 Marlo Lewis 40.00 X 105360 0 12712 Julie Taylor 40.00 X 102064 0 8705 1051717 0 66276 6 0 1 0 O'Melveny & Myers LLP 1625 I Street NW Washington DC 20006 Litigation services 750000 Morgan Meredith & Associates 22780 Indian Creek Drive 100 Dulles VA 20166 Direct mail 195060 Boyden Gray & Associates PLLC 1627 I Street NW Washington DC 20006 Litigation services 159677 FBC Enterprises LLC 6144 E Shangri La Road Scottsdale AZ 85254 Consulting services 112497 4 1058778 5411433 146315 6470211 10824 10824 200615 200149 466 466 466 98750 1058778 310817 -212067 -212067 EPA litigation income 900099 45000 45000 Reimbursements 900099 19483 19483 Miscellaneous 900099 7285 7285 3422 109 3313 75190 6344624 45000 109 -170696 795950 693851 102099 1904917 1471418 91075 342424 190178 146037 11239 32902 193616 153310 13900 26406 2306563 2306563 44672 35604 9068 370942 370942 470062 469938 124 14193 12799 4 1390 203194 160009 29578 13607 80394 77672 985 1737 102 102 441077 398456 42621 140719 138694 2025 167325 81628 43232 42465 36297 4228 31144 925 26530 20271 1875 4384 Direct mail 264026 264026 Books & subscriptions 84614 67124 1189 16301 Miscellaneous 13946 4221 90 9635 7749317 6470347 406784 872186 396282 267223 0 129059 2189488 973896 531485 430961 597860 594001 92238 127318 321969 221916 113154 100053 536117 0 3031 3520366 2769236 219592 868497 0 221433 219592 1089930 X 2260110 1248619 1040664 430687 3300774 1679306 3520366 2769236 -1404693 -908 -215867 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4384114 4179906 5224185 6291729 6470211 26550145 4384114 4179906 5224185 6291729 6470211 26550145 3181208 23368937 42141 19330 19710 21841 10824 113846 109 109 24247 14669 38029 19624 52543 149112 26813212 100704 0.87150 0.86000 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10, Explanation of Other Income: Miscellaneous income - 2008 Amount: $ 24,247. 2009 Amount: $ 14,669. 2010 Amount: $ 38,029. 2011 Amount: $ 19,624. 2012 Amount: $ 7,285.
