'''Benjamin Ginsberg''' is a partner at [[Patton Boggs]], a well connected DC lobbying firm. He received his B.A. in 1974 from University of Pennsylvania and his J.D. in 1982 from Georgetown University.
Ginsberg had been an attorney for the Bush campaign during the Florida recount and was counsel for the Bush 2004 re-election campaign. Ginsberg also provided counsel to [[Swif Swift Boat Veterans for Truth]]. Following the public revelations in August 2004 that he worked for both the Bush campaign and SBVT, Ginsberg resigned. In his resignation letter to Bush he wrote “I have decided to resign as national counsel to your campaign to ensure that the giving of legal advice to decorated military veterans, which was entirely within the boundaries of the law, doesn't distract from the real issues upon which you and the country should be focusing”.[http://www.itv.com/news/index_1956898.html] [http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/08/25/ginsberg.swiftboat/]
Ginsberg also serves during the 2004 Bush-Cheney relection campaign as chief counsel for [[Progress for America]], a pro-Bush [[527 committee]] run by staff from the [[DCI Group]].
