Yes, I would be happy if all lobbyists had to be un-paid volunteers - Period.

If I had a top wish list for politics, it would be that all paid lobbyists would be eliminated. It would be fine if people wanted to go as volunteers to represent their issue, but they would not have lobbyists making huge salaries representing them as CEOs of this or that organization or Executive Directors. Just regular people stating their case for their cause. I would love it!

I'm for revoking tax exempt status of universities. - More than 3 dozen universities hold

endowments of more than 1 billion dollars. There is a ton of money being made at these highly partisan propaganda centers. Stripping them of the tax exempt status will get their attention.

on both sides. They hire former lobbyists to work on their staff.

Not sure about banning a former member of Congress, once a private citizen. I'll have to think about it.

I also believe we should defund NPR and other mouth pieces for the - left. We the people should not fund

a television station that is suppose to be a public service and not provide correct information on both political parties. Truth should be the red meat of any news organization. Or at the very least presenting truthful information on all political viewpoints.

We the people should not pay for biased television. They fact check Republicans but never Democrats.

But considering a Democrat debate is more about feelings than facts, I can understand why it would be difficult to fact check.

They would just call themselves something else other than lobbyists. - The Obama administration is packed

with lobbyists. Clinton emails show she took donations from foreign lobbyists. Her campaign was run by a former Monsanto lobbyist. John Podesta was former lobbyist working for Obama and he worked for the Clintons. Obama even sent one of his lobbyist to Israel to get out the vote against Netanyahu.

I'm sure the Huffington Posts has written about all the Republican lobbyists, so I won't bother. I know McCain had lobbyists working for him.

K-Street is nothing but a bunch of lobbyists.

Look at Van Jones. He's now at Princeton University. - He's a communist. Look at

Bill Ayers. He's a convicted terrorist. Much more than just lobbyists.

It's Time To Re-think Immunity For Members Of CongressApr 04, 2015
I think we're all tired of politicians lying to us.  When they do so in their "official" capacity, i.e. from the floor of either chamber of Congress, they are immune from prosecution, lawsuits, etc.  I'm thinking, of course, about the lies Harry Reid told about Mitt Romney not paying his taxes, but he's certainly neither the sole nor the founding member of the Liar's Club in Congress.  I also think that governmental officials such as Lois Lerner should have no ...

Although the Brady law requires background checks be conducted by commercial gun dealers, at least 40% of gun sales  (last study 15 years old) are private sales not involving background checks.
