It seems to me that outlawing lobbying would greatly improve our federal government (all other government, too, but I'll leave that for another discussion). If you have a good idea or want the feds to consider a certain action, write or email them. If they're interested or need more information, they'll get back to you. No $$ or other compensation of any kind should be allowed. Too many in our Congress are being bought off. Can Elon and Vivek take a look at this?

That pesky Constitution again.
I suspect it has more to do with the recognition of corporations as "people". That needs to stop, STAT. I have no problem with an individual addressing their Congressman, but I have a big problem with corporations doing it.
Amen, fuck Citizens United, that needs to be overturned ASAP
1974 Impoundment Control Act.
Bring back impoundment and enforce it heavily. The lobbyists will lose most of their financial power and sway over govt spending and allocation of said spending. Can't have a (insert area of spending here) lobby if you outright refuse to fund them or grant them contracts.
