Decentralize the govt. Tele-commute/conference. Make lobbying VERY expensive.

I've been saying that for some time. Move them home and make them face the taxpayer while deciding how much to steal...

>Additionally, enforce all “Influence Peddling” laws to the hilt.

That’s exactly what lobbying by corporate interests is, and the laws regulating and restricting same should be honored.

If they are not ‘honored’ they are not LAW. They are tools to be used against ‘enemies’.

It is bad enough we have UN-equal under the Law today (exemptions for D.C. and their supporters), it’s quite another when there is also ‘selective enforcement’...makes a mockery of Rule of Law.
