we need less lobbyists, not more. they are the problem, not the solution.



Relatively few people want to spend money on lobbyists, but when Washington or Sacramento changes the rules on you, what can you do? To remain silent might mean your business dies. To make your voice heard is to lobby. All right, then lobby it is, unfortunately.


I think we need more lobbyists, actually: the lobbyists should be the people.

yes! listen to the public - the actual public. not special interest groups and corporations. our current lobbyists and these groups are the ones who put us here in the first place.
