No argument. IMO if we could kill the lobbying, Congress might not be so proactively stupid.

I dunno, ever listened to Nancy Pelosi or Waters or Aiken?

I also note that people (not saying you) often want to "end lobbying" but don't view their own viewpoints expressed to representatives as lobbying. Thus the teachers union wants the NRA driven out and the Coal lobby wants the Sierra club muzzled. Just like when people want "externalities priced" they never want THEIR externalities priced.

I want to strip influence from them all. Lobbying should take place in the voting booth.
