Allen of AmericanPublic.us describes his practice this way: “I bring a unique perspective to clients' communications challenges and help them to shape public opinion, so their positions can be clearly understood.” His specialities: “Public perception of regulated enterprises (banks, utilities), message creation and evaluation in a competitive/campaign environment, polling to support advocacy efforts.”

In other words, AmericanPublic.us exists specifically to "shape public opinion" with "message creation" and "polling to support advocacy efforts." That's the mission statement of an organization devoted to the manipulation of public opinion research.

The next claim is that "the poll shows that Americans are very optimistic about the future for coal. When asked the question 'do you believe coal is a fuel for America’s future?' -- 69% of Americans agreed (compared to only 26% who disagreed)."

This claim is an outright lie.
