Lobbying Congress has become the biggest weapon against “We The People’s” interests. We need a ban on foreign governments being allowed to lobby our representatives. AIPAC and other groups like it must not be allowed to influence Congress at all. We also need regulation on limiting how much lobbying groups are allowed to spend. We have a revolving door between private and public sectors. Congressmen must not be allowed to join any lobbyist group for a minimum 8 years after leaving office. Similar regulations must be placed for agencies and companies that were directly regulated by a member of Congress or any law voted on by a member.
Our Congress has forgotten who they work for. Americans are unable to compete with the enormous amount of funding these lobbying groups have and the government is more focused on corporate interests than the American public it works for.
