if we hired one to represent WE THE PEOPLE?!! I've been thinking about this. It seems that everybody with a lobbyist and a big pocketbook gets what they want from congress.
Maybe we could all pool what money we have left and hire a lobbyist to represent US. At least then we'd have some representation.
Lol. I personally paid a lobbyist JUST to get assured a right to present my position on an issue. $12,000 but we did win and gave my business a little job security until the next legislative session and they will try to pass bad legislation again. Government does NOT represent the “little guy” it’s a “pay to play” racket.
Out of curiosity, how was the fee determined? Did they just tell you they wanted a flat fee, or how did that work? Thanks. Btw, it's horrible you had to do that at all, but I'm glad it worked out for you. At least temporarily.
