This is a repost from Craigslist.
I think lobbying ought to be limited to presenting a case period, no money,no smoozing period. It ought to be illegal and a felony.

Good accounting: Now lets get real. That is from one company. lets list all the major big companies and see how much they donate.
Like Veco--an oil pipeline comapany in alaska--donated to over 5 million to the election of GW Bush for president from 2000 to 2004.
You see you cannot just select one company.
Then there is the last minute addition to the bill for Eron where they stripped all the protection from the energy. With that the price of oil tripled in 5 years.
So, you have to look to see who has lobbiest working for them and what teir rewards are.
what you listed is a report that has been circulated by CNN and Fox--two known Republican supporters.
So, do be careful
