when you or a member of your family has a complicated medical problem, does the doctor explain everything or do you need other sources of information? when you remodel your house, do you use a single contractor, do the work yourself or seek many sources for information? now multiply those two situations times 1000 and you have what happens in congress each term. of course a lobby has to work to explain what they want and why it is important.

Oh, please stop: you make sense, and that is not allowed on this board. Don't you know? You are supposed to b---ch about "the politicians" and "the CEOs."

Really??? So when we the people of this country want one thing and our Reps go against us to "follow the money", we should agree that that's how the system was set up??? Nonsense...

Congress is elected to represent the people...To make laws for the people Not just those who can gather a bunch of $2000.00 doners...And that's just the money we know about...Lobbiests should be illegal...

WalMart needs to set up Health Care offices in each of its stores, for Heath care in America has failed the average American.
