The lobbyists are the experts on proposed legislation. Even a
congressman
with a huge staff cannot be expected to know all the ramifications
of
pending legislation. Do you really want a congress-critter to
determine
the railroad tariff on hydrogenated yak-fat with no input from the
yak
industry?

Tough call. You are right that the lobbyist may be the expert, but
they
are out to sell, not just inform. I'm not sure how you can control
that.
The Yak Fat lobby is always trying to get the ear of a congress
person,
wanted or not. Far better would be to seek them out on an "as
needed"
basis.

Disallow any contact with legislators except that initiated by private
individuals.

So, you would ban the Sierra Club?

I'd stop them from lobbying. Other than stated.

So you want to pitch the Constitution. Got it.


Nope.

That's *EXACTLY* what you're advocating.


No, it is not. Both the House and Senate are subject to their Own Rules.
