Like, if you have a cause, and want Congress to hear about it, you have to do it on YOUR TIME, on YOUR DIME, as in volunteer, bitches.
OR, you should have to get on the Train like every body else. Lobbyist's shouldn't be allowed to have a residence or Working Office within 50 miles of any State Capitol, or within 100 miles of the DC City Limit. And if you get caught cheating, your ass gets 6 months in a minimum security State Pen. Fuck You. (And NO exceptions- Mandatory Minimums work great for THEM against the Little People, I say it's high time we start using them as a weapon of our own).
