- The Hunting Lobby is one of the worst lobby groups in the US. Their crimes are against defenseless, voiceless animals. I don't think you can sink any lower than that.

- I have written every President and Wisconsin Senator since Reagan asking for DC to be dissolved and have federally elected officials meet virtually. Then, those elected would not all be in the same place at the same time, and therefore easy pickings for lobbyists, but instead would be in offices located in the districts they are supposed to be representing. First it was possible with TV and compressed video, but now it would be even easier with Skype and FaceTime. There is no reason to pay so much money for duplicate staffs, travel, lodging, meals, etc. The system will never be fixed as long as we continue to allow DC to exist.
