] Two weeks after declaring his intention to run for
] president, Clark was still registered to represent a high
] tech contractor, Acxiom Corporation, giving him the rare
] distinction of seeking the White House while registered
] as a lobbyist. Shortly after Clark announced his
] candidacy, a company spokesman said the general no longer
] lobbied for Acxiom, but, according to the Senate Office
] of Public Records, Clark had not filed any termination
] papers.

] Clark has been lobbying for the firm since January 2,
] 2002; Acxiom has paid more than $830,000 for Clark to
] advance its agenda and meet with government officials.
] Clark also serves on the company's board of directors.

] According to federal disclosure records, Clark lobbied
] directly on "information transfers, airline security and
] homeland security issues," for Acxiom, which sought
] funding to do controversial informational background
] checks on passengers for airlines. Privacy advocates have
] criticized the program, called the Computer Assisted
] Passenger Pre-Screening System II, because of concerns
] that the data collected would be an overly invasive
] violation of individuals' rights to privacy. The public
] outcry has been so strong that there is a bi-partisan
] effort to create more oversight for the program to
] protect privacy interests if CAPPS II is implemented.

So Clark helped lobby for CAPPS II. While he was a presidential candidate. So that's fun.
