Lobbyists do not equate to money. Lobbyists can't give gifts. Lobbyists are a problem, but it's more about the revolving door than the money. Lobbyists are an important part of the process. They will never, and should never, go away. We just have to rethink the relationship between lobbying firms and our government.
