Maybe a Cheap Lunch is Okay for Congress

If senators and representatives rely on the information provided by lobbyists, then have the congressmen buy the lobbyists lunch, instead.

But under no circumstances should a lobbyist be allowed to offer any monies, services or other thing which has the appearance of 'buying' a vote.

Were it up to me, I'd have all lobbyists rounded up and dumped naked in the arctic during winter. In theory, at least, they generate enough hot air to keep themselves alive indefinitely, but will probably contribute to global warming.

If a Senator or Rep can NOT buy their own lunch at a McDonalds, that is their problem.

ALL LOBBYISTS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED
