was the purpose of this to begin with? Lobbyists = corruption, many of them anyway, I would say the majority of them. Special interest advocates they are. What purpose do they have in our system? Why have they not been removed from the process? At the very least, they should be put on a very short leash. What gives? Even if they started out as a harmless thing they mushroomed into a vile element.
