Smile, You're on 'Lobbyist Camera'

I think that lobbyists and their firms should be outlawed.

According to the Constitution, THE PEOPLE, can have someone represent them before OUR government with requests and needs for the communities.

Lobbyists and their firms, on the other hand, represent ONLY BIG BUSINESS and their needs, which only make their pockets fatter and do NOTHING to help Americans.

I this is absolutely the best thing to do with these 'lobbyists'. They and their firms serve NO useful purpose and cost the American people and cost us billions of dollars every year.

They should be OUTLAWED.

The constitution states that the PEOPLE have a right to have someone else lobby/represent them in respects to what their needs and wants are.

Lobbying firms and their employees DO NOT lobby for the America people BUT for BIG BUSINESS and what will help it and NOT necessarily the American people.

I SAY OUTLAW ALL LOBBYING FIRMS and/or MAKE THE ILLEGAL.
