Finally, to lobby it takes two parties. All of this looks at one side, or one party--the lobbyists. We're not looking at the people being lobbied--the government officials, or elected officials. Have you ever contemplated putting together suggestions about rules of engagement?
For instance, in my office we have rules whereby if someone wants to come and discuss an issue with me, someone has to be present and take minutes. For greater clarity and verification, it would not be an onerous task to submit, every six months, those types of reports to your offices from the offices of elected officials, informing them of the details of those meetings.
What do you think of those suggestions?
