	Ed Gillespie on Corporations

Lobbied to restrict class action lawsuits on corporate fraud

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce paid Gillespie's lobbying firm, Quinn-Gillespie, $860,000 to lobby for the so-called Class Action Fairness Act, which would make it easier for companies to prevail in class action lawsuits accusing them of defrauding customers. All told, the firm has collected at least $1.12 million to lobby for this anti-consumer bill Source: Public Citizen Congress Watch on 2014 Virginia Senate race , Jun 1, 2003
