Getting Rid of Lobbyests

01-03-2004, 16:58
Issue - Lobbyists control the laws.

Option 1 - Lobbyists are controling our Legislature. Lets get rid of them. Anyone offering ANYTHING for free to a Politician goes to jail.

Option 2 - Lobbyists just offer specialist advice to overworked Legislatures. Make it mandatory that each law must be countersigned by at least three lobbyists.

Option 3 - Everyone's overreacting. Let's just control the payoff. Any politician taking cash or a job with a lobbying firm after they leave office has his property confiscated by the government.

Well people, what do you think? Should I submit it?

Add an option 4: Let's just admit that our country is run by big businesses! Remove those silly laws limiting the amount of lobbying we can do!

All things considered, any issue which affects political freedoms is a good one!

I like it. Write it from the viewpoint of a lobbyist. "After all those bribes we gave you, you're just going to betray us..."
