They're stinking entities -- not human -- so why should my dollar be sabotaged because of a corporation.

2. Stop lobbying. Call it what it is -- bribery. If you get caught using lobbyist you should go to jail..

Gotta respectfully disagree. Sometimes, maybe even often, that is what happens but lobbyist provide valuable information to Congressmen on issues that they don't have the time or the staff to research.

Just one more thing

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.

Dead on.
