Why should YOU or you and your friends be allowed to lobby MY congressman if you're not in a district he or she represents? They're in office to represent their constituents, not whoever has the most money to throw their way. Lobbying should be limited to constituents only, not include gifts, donations, or further benefits post-office.

- tw04 9y agoThat's not how the law works, and it's definitely not how lobbying works. Which is exactly why it's broken. And quite frankly even if there were "members" in my district, those members should be contacting their representative(s) themselves.
