How to Stop Lobbyists

Consider this recent YouTube post from Portland to be a video version of my 2019 blog post on the unknown way to stop the spreading influence of lobbyists.

Or, as they say on all those social media videos when they try to get you to click, “Lobbyists are fuming at this secret method to stop their influence!”

Only in this video, you also get to watch Ellie catch frisbees. It’s glorious! And I’m not at all biased.

I know this issue will not get anywhere near center stage in this presidential election. But I sure wish we could take this opportunity to demand both candidates use this clever and constitutional tactic to restrict the power of lobbyists.

You can’t “drain the swamp” without removing the power of lobbyists, after all.

You can’t really take on corporations unless you defang their paid brokers.

Lobbyists make a 76,000% return on investment for their clients.
