read my entire post, I said ban lobbying
Rather simplistic, don't you think?
What if you and others of a like mind would like to express your views to Congressmen and you can't leave your jobs to go to Washington? Would you like it if you were unable to get someone to go and do it for you?
"Lobbying" has become a pejorative word because of the "professional" lobbyists who are nothing but ex-politicians. I would NOT ban lobbying [you couldn't anyway as it's a constitutional guarantee] but would ban politicians from being paid lobbyists FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES!!!
