copeland lowery jacquez denton & white is a california lobbying firm founded by james copeland in 1992 , which was the subject of a federal investigation into earmarks granted to its clients by rep. jerry lewis .

in june 2006 , the firm changed its name to innovative federal strategies following the resignation of the democratic partners .

former congressman bill lowery , a close friend of lewis became a partner in 1993 .

in 1999 , jeff shockey , who had worked for lewis since 1991 left lewis ' employ to join copeland lowery , where he would work for the next six years .

shockey 's wife , alexandra shockey , who had been on lewis ' personal staff since 1992 , continued to work for lewis .

( she eventually left lewis ' staff to start a family . ) on january 8 , 2003 , letitia white , who had worked for lewis for 21 years , including as chief of staff , and was known as his " gatekeeper " , left lewis ' employ , and government service .

she too went to work for copeland lowery , registering as a lobbyist on january 9 , 2003 .

in february 2005 , alexandra shockey was hired as a subcontractor by copeland lowery , taking over some of her husband 's clients .

other clients went to white .

in response to a federal investigation begun in may 2006 , the firm amended their filings .

according to those documents , the firm had " failed to disclose at least $ 755,000 in income from 17 nonprofit organizations and governmental entities , and $ 635,000 from 18 other clients between 1998 and 2005 . "

given the current media focus on the firm , copeland lowery jacquez denton & white has made a strategic and mutually - agreed upon decision to separate its partnership into two groups ,
the company said in a written statement .
partners bill lowery , jean denton , and letitia white will continue to lead the existing full service consulting firm , while partners james m . copeland and lynn jacquez will form a separate partnership .
evangelist perry stone , speaking on behalf of lowery ' s effect on world evangelism said ,
everywhere he preached , he imparted ,
stone said of lowery . stone reminded everyone that because of the establishment of the t . l . lowery global foundation ,
there will always be a generation that will know the anointing and ministry of t . l . lowery .
the company ' s two democratic partners , james m . copeland and lynnette r . jacquez , this week told their gop partners that they were leaving the firm that copeland helped found in 1992 . the reason , they said , was that ethical and legal questions surrounding lowery and the firm threatened to destroy their professional reputations and ruin their commercial prospects .
i knew by the spirit of god that i was supposed to be here ,
copeland stated .
the healing anointing of t . l . lowery is in this building ,
he said followed by a prayer of healing proclamation .
dr . lowery is to be laid to rest next to his beloved mildred in a private family ceremony . mildred lowery passed away nearly one year ago on march 8 , 2015 . t . l . lowery was born on jan . 12 , 1929 and spent over 70 of his 87 years ministering the gospel throughout the world .

authorities last month sought records regarding correspondence among lewis , his staff and the firm . lowery and some of his clients have donated heavily to lewis ' s campaign committees , and lewis has been a reliable benefactor of projects for lowery ' s clients .
the firm , copeland lowery jacquez denton & white , has been a major player on k street , particularly in winning narrow appropriations , known as earmarks , for military contractors , municipalities and others . federal investigators last month subpoenaed many of the firm ' s clients to learn more about the relationship between lewis and former representative bill lowery ( r - calif . ) , a partner in the firm since 1993 who is a friend and financial supporter of his .
like north cleveland , national was a church lowery served as senior pastor ( 1981 - 1996 ) , growing and building it into an influential and powerful ministry . the two services mirrored one another with many of the speakers traveling to both locations to speak on behalf of a portion of dr . lowery ' s life .
copeland ' s personal clients include alameda county , pacific life insurance co . and bart , the rapid transit system in the san francisco area . jacquez ' s clients include merced county and the city of riverside , calif .
the lobbying firm enmeshed in a federal investigation of rep . jerry lewis ( r - redlands ) , chairman of the house appropriations committee , is breaking up because of publicity surrounding the probe , the company said . the firm , copeland lowery jacquez denton & white , has been a major player in washington , particularly in winning narrow appropriations , known as
earmarks ,
for military contractors , municipalities and others .
a top aide to house appropriations committee chairman jerry lewis ( r - redlands ) reported wednesday that he received more money than he previously disclosed from a lobbying firm that has come under scrutiny for its ties to lewis . the aide , jeffrey shockey , corrected his financial disclosure reports to reveal that his salary in 2004 from copeland lowery jacquez denton & white totaled about $ 500 , 000 more than he had reported .
the $ 160 , 000 committee post meant an almost 90 % pay cut , but shockey ' s lobbying firm helped cushion the blow . copeland , lowery , jacquezwhere lewis’s close friend bill lowery , a former california congressman , is a partnergave shockey a $ 600 , 000 going - away buyout , according to shockey’s financial disclosure form . he was to receive his buyout in three $ 200 , 000 payments scheduled for february , may and august 2005even as he was in his committee post . the firm would also keep shockey in the family by hiring his wife , alexandraanother former lewis aideas a consulting lobbyist .
copeland lowery is the second lobbying firm this year to become a casualty of congressional scandals . in january , alexander strategy group , which was closely tied to former house majority leader tom delay ( r - tex . ) and former lobbyist jack abramoff , went out of business because of publicity about its involvement in the abramoff investigations . the firm was owned by edwin a . buckham , delay ' s former chief of staff .
the house ethics committee on thursday cleared a longtime aide to house appropriations committee chairman jerry lewis of any breach of rules for accepting a nearly $ 2 - million payout from his former lobbying firm . the aide , jeffrey shockey , received $ 1 . 96 million in severance payments when he left washington - based copeland lowery jacquez denton & white to return to work for lewis ( r - redlands ) as deputy staff director of the appropriations committee .
the board of supervisors on tuesday voted 4 - 1 to grant a contract extension to its washington lobbying firm , which has been linked to a federal grand jury investigation into rep . jerry lewis ( r - redlands ) . innovative federal strategies llc , formerly copeland lowery jacquez denton & white , received a $ 99 , 000 , six - month extension . in may , a grand jury subpoenaed documents from the county and agencies related to the firm and lewis .
copeland , lowery’s lobbying activity has already attracted unwanted attention . the justice department charges that an executive of adcs , a defense contractor client , provided some of the $ 2 . 4 million in illegal gifts to appropriations committee member duke cunningham , who late last year resigned and pleaded guilty to taking bribes . scofield , backed by disclosure filings , says shockey did not lobby for adcs . in fact , scofield and shockey’s attorney , oldaker , insist shockey plays no role in earmark decisions .
he was elected for a second stint on the executive committee in 1996 and he served until 2004 , rising to first assistant general overseer . the final 12 years of his earthly ministry were spent mentoring the next generation of ministers as he conducted crusades and hosted events through the establishment of the t . l . lowery global foundation . more information on the life of t . l lowery and other aspects of his ministry can be found by visiting urltoken .
t . l . lowery walked across the history of the church of god as one that was sent forth ,
williams said .
because of his ministry , hundreds of thousands were swept into the church of god .
one of the church of god ' s most iconic leaders , dr . t . l . lowery , was memorialized by family and church leaders on thursday , march 3 , in the second of two remembrance of life services following his death on feb . 21 .
as lewis took up the gavel in january 2005 , appropriations issued a press release heralding the return of former aides , including shockey . the releasewhich disappeared from the committee web site after time made inquiries in recent weeks , a move that spokesman scofield attributed to the tech departmentsays that
shockey spent the last six years as a partner in the washington , d . c . - based firm , copeland , lowery , jacquez , denton & shockey .
it said shockey would
assist . . . with the committee’s day - today [ sic ] operations including maintaining a close working relationship between the committee , the elected leadership , the budget committee , and various authorizing committees .
in recent weeks , oldakeralso an earmark specialist who was recently dropped as treasurer for the political action committees of several senior democratic senators , including minority leader harry reid , after articles drew attention to his lobbying activitysaid shockey has recused himself from any matter involving any of copeland , lowery’s 100 or so clients , though they haven’t put it in writing .
we probably , if we ' d fast - forwarded to the current time , would have done that
a year ago , oldaker said , referring to the ethics climate fostered by the abramoff scandal . what remains to be seen is whether the new attention on the world of lobbying and earmarks leads to lasting reform or just a new p . r . strategy .
following his pastorate at north cleveland , he was elected to the church of god executive committee where he served for the next eight years as an assistant general overseer . in 1981 , following a 40 - day fast , lowery accepted the pastorate of the national church of god and , like north cleveland , grew and built the church into a congregation of thousands .
hundreds gathered at the north cleveland church of god , a church lowery served as senior pastor from 1969 to 1974 . during his tenure there , he grew and built the church into one of the most dynamic congregations of its time . a first service was held earlier this week on monday , feb . 29 , at the national church of god in fort washington , maryland .
in 2004 alone , long after he was covered by the one - year , loophole - ridden lobbying ban for former congressional staffers , shockey made $ 1 . 5 million , according to his house financial disclosure form . he helped win at least $ 150 million in pork for an array of clients at the lobbying firm of copeland , lowery , jacquez , according to taxpayers for common sense . as with most successful lobbyists , it no doubt helped that he was tight with committee members and staff . as part of his new career , shockey and his firm also helped his old boss raise hundreds of thousands of dollars to help the gop keep its majority , according to the san diego union - tribune , which first reported on some of shockey ' s history late last year . and so , when house republicans rewarded lewis , 71 , with the appropriations chairmanship 13 months ago , shockey was among the handful of trusted former aides whom the affable , silver - haired congressman pressed back into service .
lewis declined an interview , but gave time a statement in which he called shockey a
fabulously talented individual [ with a ] long record of principled service .
lewis added that
jeff and his wife alex have gone out of their way to make sure they are strictly adhering to both the spirit and the letter of the law .
lewis spokesman scofield said shockey and his wife also would not comment . lowery did not return a phone call .
before jeffrey shockey worked for one of the most powerful committees in congress , he was a lobbyist at one of the more successful boutique lobbying firms in washington . before that , you guessed it , he worked for one of the most powerful committees in congress . in fact , shockey , 40 , has breezed so smoothly through the revolving door between congress and the lobbying world that , critics say , it ' s hard to tell where one job begins and the other ends .
at a time when the excesses of the jack abramoff scandal have prodded congress to at least go through the motions on lobbying reform , the dizzying merry - go - round of staffers like shockey show just how hard it is to really change the way things are done on capitol hill . granted , many lobbyists chase pork and members of congress regularly exchange favors with webs of family and ex - aides . but shockey ' s straddling of k street and capitol hill is particuarly poignant and visibleeven if , as in most cases , his lawyer and spokesman say it is all perfectly legal .
it ' s the revolving door that helps perpetuate the cozy world of lobbying for such favors as earmarksthe suddenly controversial system by which the house and senate appropriations committees dish out tens of billions of dollars in pork from the $ 843 billion a year in discretionary spending they doled out for this year . president bush and new house majority leader john boehner are now calling for reform of the clubby earmark game . but appropriations committee members and the many other pork enthusiasts in congress have long staved off such changepartly because constituents have seldom got mad at their own representatives for bringing home the bacon .
shockey ' s career is a case study in how the game works . when he left capitol hill for the lobbying world in 1999after spending more than eight years working for rep . jerry lewis , a republican from california who had chaired key subcommitteesmany of his new clients , including muncipalities , hospitals and lesser - known universities , were from lewis ' s district . after years of getting paid to represent them on the hill , he was now getting paid a lot more to represent them on the hill .
shockey even got a contract from the city of redlands , which is congressman lewis ' hometown .
the only cities in the country that don ' t need a lobbyist are the ones represented by a cardinal ,
washington parlance for an a appropriations subcommittee chairman , says keith ashdown of taxpayers for common sense , a budget watchdog . karl haws , a former redlands mayor and city councilman who made the formal motion in january 2000 to give shockey ' s firm a contract for $ 30 , 000 , according to council minutes , says it was
helpful to have a knowledgeable person to guide you . . . . we can ' t fairly expect mr . lewis , with all of his responsibilities , to drop everything and research what we want when we want it .
lobbying by spouses is legal if it stays within certain boundariesstaffers are generally not supposed to get their spouses special accessbut can be controversial . lewis spokesman john scofield referred time to attorney william oldaker , who said he helped shockey and his wife keep the arrangement legal . oldaker drafted a letter in which lewis last may told the house ethics committee shockey
will not involve himself in any matter in which his spouse is representing a client .
the letter did not bar shockey from work related to his own former clients , but scofield says shockey nonetheless informally recuses himself from such activity . scofield said alexandra shockey , also a former lewis aide , is still free to lobby lewis himself , and other committee membersand her last name is certainly well known around the panel . the ethics committee , paralyzed last year by a partisan deadlock , never formally blessed the arrangement , scofield says .
no evidence has emerged to suggest that the shockeys or lewis have violated the law . though a republican , shockey the lobbyist checked his loyalties enough to seek favor with key democrats to the tune of $ 6 , 750 in campaign contributions . much of it went to high - profile appropriations democratssuch as $ 1 , 000 each to house minority leader nancy pelosi ; house panel members patrick kennedy and john murtha , who would later lambast president bush over the iraq war ; and senator diane feinsteinalong with the many more thousands he showered on gop members .
this ethically challenged behavior should speak volumes about the need for earmark reform ,
says naomi steiner of citizens for responsiblity and ethics in washington , a watchdog group .
with the help of another former lewis aide who took over some shockey accounts at his lobbying firm , many of shockey ' s more than 50 former clients have continued to land tens of millions of dollars in earmarks , courtesy of the panel shockey now helps lewis run . ashdown of taxpayers for common sense , which has extensively researched the lewis - shockey web , says , for example , that the police department in redlands , calif . , ( population : 63 , 591 ) , received $ 1 . 5 million over three years for a community mapping and analysis program . the university of redlands , meanwhile , received $ 2 . 7 million in 2004 and 2005 to map the habitat of the desert tortoise near a military facility .

2006 - 02 - 15 04 : 00 : 00 pdt washington - - lobbyist letitia white is good at what she does . her more than 50 clients , mostly defense contractors and municipalities in california , have been major winners when congress doles out federal money for special projects in its spending bills .
white ' s success is driven by her knowledge of the appropriations process and her close ties to rep . jerry lewis , the southern california republican who chairs the house appropriations committee . she worked for lewis for 21 years , including a stint as his chief of staff .
this is age - old machine politics ,
said keith ashdown , vice president of taxpayers for common sense , a nonpartisan group that tracks federal spending .
you are taking care of other people so they take care of you .
there is nothing illegal about the tight working relationship between white and lewis . in fact , in washington it ' s become commonplace . but this symbiotic arrangement - - with lobbyists winning appropriations for clients and lawmakers receiving major donations from lobbyists - - has helped fuel the rapid growth of
earmarks ,
which critics deride as pork projects .
congress is preparing in the next few months to enact new restrictions on earmarks , spending items that members of congress request for specific projects , usually in their home state or district .
conservatives complain the practice is contributing to deficit spending . critics say the spending item is often added at the last minute , with little scrutiny . and some lawmakers acknowledge that earmarks have played a key role in recent bribery and corruption scandals in congress .
jack abramoff called the appropriations committee an earmark ' favor factory . ' and when you look at ( former representative from san diego county ) duke cunningham ' s plea bargain , he was giving earmarks . that was the currency for the bribery - - contracts worth tens of millions of dollars ,
said rep . jeff flake , r - ariz . , who has been on a yearslong crusade to limit the targeted spending .
but other lawmakers believe earmarks are getting a bad name in the frenzied push for lobbying reform . lewis has been among the staunchest defenders of the right of lawmakers to request money for projects in their districts .
a house appropriations committee spokesman said the chairman ' s requests for spending items for cities or defense firms in his district have nothing to do with campaign donations from white , her clients or partners at her firm .
the chairman has been getting earmarks for his district for 25 years . . . long before this firm existed ,
said spokesman john scofield .
white did not respond to a request for comment . but scofield said white ' s success on behalf of her clients was the result of her legislative skills , not her ties to lewis .
letitia is very talented and very smart . she does well because of that ,
he said .
the number of earmarks has skyrocketed since republicans took control of congress in 1994 , jumping from 1 , 439 worth $ 10 billion in 1995 to 13 , 997 worth $ 27 . 3 billion last year , according to the nonpartisan group citizens against government waste .
that ' s an increase of nearly 300 percent ,
sen . john mccain , r - ariz . , said at a senate hearing on lobbying reform last week .
i hope we have finally reached the point that we are going to do something to reform this very broken system of legislating ,
he said .
at the same time , the number of lobbying firms seeking appropriations has nearly tripled since 1998 , from 1 , 447 to 4 , 013 last year , senate records show .
skeptics point out that eliminating earmarks would not make much of a dent in federal spending at a time the budget is more than $ 2 . 7 trillion . but proponents of changing the system say earmarks are often given out based on political connections rather than the merits of the project .
house and senate leaders often use offers of help in securing earmarks - - or threats to remove them from bills - - to win support for legislation moving through congress .
there are two reasons leadership loves earmarks ,
flake said .
one , it helps them keep members in line and greases the skids to pass legislation . and two , they are first in line at the trough . look at any big bill that passes - - members will put out statements on their web sites bragging about their earmarks .
despite president bush ' s embrace of earmark reform in his recent state of the union speech , congress remains deeply divided over the issue .
some lawmakers want to virtually eliminate earmarks . many support a more open process for how earmarks are added to bills . other lawmakers are resisting any major changes to the current system .
lewis , the appropriations committee chairman , is proposing a modest plan for changes .
he would limit the number of earmarks each lawmaker can request and require that members ' requests be made public before congress votes on them .
sen . dianne feinstein , d - calif . , has joined with sen . trent lott , r - miss . , to sponsor legislation that would go a step further . in addition to naming the sponsor of the earmark and providing a written justification , it would allow members of congress to challenge any earmark that was added at the last moment in a house - senate conference committee . it would take 60 votes to keep the earmark in a spending bill .
this will ensure that earmarks are not added in the dead of night , with no scrutiny ,
feinstein said when she announced her bill this month .
but feinstein , a member of the senate appropriations committee known for her ability to secure money for a variety of california projects , also said she believes not all earmarks are necessarily bad .
i recognize that earmarks have been abused ,
she said .
i also recognize that earmarks can serve a very real purpose in a natural disaster or emergency situation .
mccain and sen . tom coburn , r - okla . , have proposed an even tougher measure that would allow challenges to any earmark in a spending bill that was not approved by the relevant committee .
it would also require house - senate compromise bills to be made public for 48 hours before a vote so lawmakers can scrutinize any last - minute items .
not to be outdone , sen . barack obama , d - ill . , has a bill that would require a 72 - hour waiting period to review earmarks in spending bills .
his measure also would mandate that all spending items be germane to the purpose of the bill .
at the senate ' s first hearing on lobbying reform last month , several senators complained of an inherent conflict of interest in soliciting political donations from the same people who are seeking earmarks or other help from congress .
why is it that we warm up to all these lobbyists ? it isn ' t for a meal ,
sen . dick durbin , d - ill . , said .
we know when it comes time to finance our campaigns , we ' re going to be knocking on those same doors .

the washington lobbying firm enmeshed in a federal investigation of rep . jerry lewis ( r - calif . ) , chairman of the powerful house appropriations committee , is breaking up because of publicity surrounding the probe , the company said yesterday .
the firm ' s relationship with lewis is being scrutinized by u . s . prosecutors in los angeles . lewis has denied any wrongdoing , and the firm has said it has complied with all rules and regulations governing its conduct .
in 2005 , the firm reportedly grossed more than $ 7 million , making it one of washington ' s top 50 lobbying firms . in addition to the five partners , the company has 14 employees .
the democrats and the republicans in the firm operate separately for the most part . the republicans work on the eighth floor of the downtown district building they occupy , and the democrats are on the fifth floor .
several congressional aides who were briefed by the firm ' s departing democrats about the breakup said the lobbyists expressed concern that they might lose longtime clients if they continued to be associated with the gop part of the firm - - the apparent focus of the federal inquiry .
patrick dorton , a spokesman for the firm , declined to comment beyond the written statement , and said none of the partners would comment , either .
in 2005 , those clients included defense heavyweights general dynamics , boeing and united technologies . the firm also represented california localities such as the city of redlands and san bernardino county , which are in lewis ' s district .
the firm attracted additional attention this month when it reported that it had paid a former partner , jeffrey s . shockey , nearly $ 2 million last year in a separation agreement when he left to become deputy staff director of the house appropriations committee , which lewis chairs .
shockey has reported earning $ 1 . 5 million in 2003 and $ 2 million in 2004 as a partner in the firm . the firm projected that shockey would have earned $ 3 million in 2005 and based his payout on that estimate .
