Mr. Cooper, this is where perhaps, with great respect, I disagree. Not all lobbyists are sophisticated professionals. Lobbyists are those who are identified as having communication with the government. That could be the person who basically meets for the first time someone who wants to address an issue that comes up with a small business they have or whatever. They're not a lobbyist, but they're bringing up particular issues of importance to them.
It's interesting. On occasion—rarely, but often enough—I find myself, when I'm representing a client's issue that may deal with a policy, a change in legislation or whatever...but I'm a lawyer who has that obligation in the context of lobbying. There's a difference as to who it is. I don't think we should make it difficult for them by imagining that they are so sophisticated that they'll know exactly what to do. This may make them quiet so that they don't engage in the conversation, because they know they have to do something, but they just don't know what.
