You have to change your frame of reference.

You are a Senator, I'm a lobbyist. We both want the same thing right? More protection against those evil hackers, a more secure internet, (No more of those 'trolls' making a mess of your attempts at internet-advertising), and of course the unspoken desire for more profit. So let's go out to lunch and talk about these things, weekly. No no, I got the bill, don't worry about it.

Senator, you really seem like you know what's going on, my firm would like to make a small donation to make sure that straight shooters like you don't have to worry about funding your next campaign. (It's what, 2 years away? 4? Coming up anyway) Thanks so much for coming out with me, I'll see you again next week, tee time is at 1.
