    Lobbying is supposed to be making your case to a politician, and hoping they vote/propose a bill/etc. With that interest in mind. You yourself are allowed to lobby your congress critters…technically.

        They’re surprisingly not that expensive to buy though, 10k will get you pretty much whatever you want…

          I wonder if I could use $10k to get a law passed that every company needs my safety manual in their business that I totally had professionally bound and didn’t print at Kinko’s.

            No, but a bunch of Americans together have 10k, it just so happens that it’s just the conservative ones who figured it out.
