> 1. Anyone who wishes to "lobby" congressional candidates or congresspersons must register their financial interests Under the terms of the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, anyone who spends 20% or more of their work time lobbying the Federal government already has to register themselves, and disclose both the clients they lobby on behalf of and any expenses they incur as part of their lobbying activities. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying_Disclosure_Act_of_1995 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying_Disclosure_Act_of_199... for more information.) Many states also have similar laws in place regarding lobbying of state officials, though obviously the details will vary depending on what state you're in.
