Nonpartisan? Unbiased? I Don't Think So

Last night I received a call from a young woman who wanted me to join an organization. There are no membership costs and they would never ask me for money. The organization was energy-related and they wanted to send me information from time to time on energy-related issues in an unbiased nonpartisan way so that I could contact policymakers and legislators if I wanted. I asked her where the organization's funding came from if they didn't plan on asking members for money. She said it was funded by electric companies and the coal industry. I thanked her kindly and said I did not think the information I would receive would be nonpartisan or unbiased and declined to join. It's kind of scary when you think about it.
