18 USC 201 makes Bribery of a government official by means of directly or indirectly offering anything of value for the purpose of influencing an official act. Passing, Stopping, or Repealing laws is an official act of the House and Senate. Companies and special interest groups have been allowed to "lobby" by use of money, properties, or promise of lucrative employment in exchange for voting in the interest of smaller groups, and corporations and against the desires of the majority. These people were elected by the majority and are required vote in the best interest of the majority and not special interest. This petition is to directly list lobbing as the form of bribery it is and make it illegal so our representatives can represent us the people and not special interest.
