One of my personality defects, perhaps, is that I'm rather ADD, and I work on a bunch of things at once.
Jack Abramoff
Image
As a lobbyist, I thought it only natural and right that my clients should reward those members who saved them such substantial sums with generous contributions. This quid pro quo became one of hallmarks of our lobbying efforts.

Well, I think the great tragedy in American politics is what is legal, not what is illegal.

Some issues lend themselves to grassroots campaigns - homeschooling works well - but others require contrivance and connivance to whip up support. Often, lobbyists will hire vendors to dispatch blast emails and robocalls in the hopes of bombarding Congressional offices with citizen fury.
