Former Congressmen, Senators, Department Secretaries and their staffs leave government service and go to work for powerful lobbying firms. Since these people already know the ins and outs of our government and most of the people working there it give them an unfair advantage in getting seen and heard and influencing the legislative process. This warps the integrity of the lobbying process toward moneyed interests.
Give the ordinary citizen a chance. Stop the revolving door that leads from elected service to high paying lobbying firms.
