The Alpharetta, Ga.-based data aggregation company spent about $1 million in the first half of 2007 and about $360,000 in the second half.
In the first half, the company spent $500,000 itself lobbying the Department of Justice over grants.
The remainder of the money was paid to lobbying firms Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, Capitol Hill Consulting Group, National Group, Ashcroft Group and Wexler & Walker Public Policy Group.
The firms lobbied the House of Representatives, the Senate and a litany of government departments, on issues ranging from background check legislation to data security to the Internal Revenue Service over electronic submission of tax forms.
