Comment Re:Lobby = Corruption (Score 1) 190
All of us should have the right to lobby our legislators and legislatures. Where it's a problem is when we have these professionals and big money behind them to effectively give them a larger voice than the rest of us. How can one compete
Each congresscritter has about 725,000 (3.16M / 435) people living in their district. If everyone decides to directly lobby their congresscritter -- and the only thing the congresscritter does 24 hours a day is listen to constituents -- then each person gets less than 44 seconds a year to talk to their congresscritter.
The system needs to group voices together otherwise it would never work.
