Capitol Grilling
was founded by members of Washington DC's political and
lobbying communities. The intent of this site is to make
the business of our nation's capitol transparent.
The content
of this site is the kind of insider information that gets
passed between the highest ranking officials and personnel,
but rarely heard by many of the people that make up the
three branches of government, the Fourth Estate or the lobbyist
populating K Street much less Joe Sixpack.
Many of the
morsels we offer up we have gotten first hand. Our audience
provides the rest, which we examine for either publication
or the circular file.
All content
is offered anonymously to protect the innocent as well as
encourage participation. Don't worry; we never know who
you are when you submit content because we don't ask for
your identity.
No longer is
the DC parlor game only for the million dollars a year lobbyist,
high ranking White House official or Congressional Committee
Chairman. We never know where the next brilliant morsel
of insider information will come, so everybody is welcome
to play.
Remember, we've kept our identities a secret
because we make our livelihood in this town. So tell us
what you know without concern because your identity is not
required to send us the latest, hot tidbit about business
in Washington, DC.
