• Eliminate lobbyists since at its core it is collusion and racketeering which is illegal for citizens and Congress should not be immune. o Bring the insurance and pharmaceutical businesses in line o Eliminate many loop holes today that encourage law suits. Make stupid people accountable again.

He gets my vote on that one alone

Eliminate lobbyists

Lobbyists represent a whole lot of cross sections including prolifers and gun owners. Without lobbyists we have no voice. Bad idea.

Well, you'd also have to cut that clause out of the First Amendment that allows people to petition the government.

The solution to lobbying abuses is not to eliminate lobbyists. It is to hold elected officials accountable, because the lobbyist has no power unless the official is willing to be corrupted.
