I don't believe that you understand the fact that all of us are members of lobbying groups...
In "Demosclerosis:: The Silent Killer of American Government," Jonathan Rauch points out that 7 out of 10 Americans belong to an interest group, and one out of four belong to at least four!
Start with unions and the Sierra Club, ACORN, Planned Parenthood......
Bullshit. When legislators work as hard for my vote as they do for Lobbyist cash, then I'll buy what you're selling.
I'm not selling anything.
I provided the book which revealed the fact.
You happen to be a fool who doesn't realize that the Left has the vast majority of lobbyists.......

Be happy to get rid of all of 'em.
What matters is how much money these lobbyists have to give the congressman/woman. By your simplistic logic, the poor people in this country should be the most powerful.
Also, some of these groups are activists, not lobbyists. Do you know the difference?
Dog Eat Dog Films is a lobbyist group? Vagina Votes? What are you drinking?
