It is an open secret that a large percentage of officials at the Federal and State levels, especially those within the Senate and House of Representatives, exchange their votes and favors for "campaign contributions" from special interest groups. Let's call it what it is: "lobbying" is nothing more than legalized bribery. We were promised lobbying reform when President Obama campaigned for office and after he was elected, a half-hearted measure was implemented and then it was back to "business as usual." End the legalized corruption of our Federal and State governments by banning lobbying.
