Tom Daschle is the latest example of how the elected and appointed go from government to lobbyist to government etc. Daschle was paid millions of dollars to "advise" lobbyists. He was not considered a lobbyist, at least not according to the rules Congress established to define lobbyists. The question the elected or appointed need to answer is "Why would someone pay Daschle (or anyone) millions of dollars because he knows you?" Are all our elected officials and appointees on the take? Are all of the president's advisors on the take? Are all staff members for sale? Are all cabinet members on the take? The people paying the lobbyists apparently think so. With the number of politicians in the newspapers and on television evidence appears to support that belief. All members of government elected, appointed, hired, temporary or permanent need to make public which lobbyists visit them! What do they want? What do they receive? Someone has to begin to put integrity back into government. Just say no to Lobbyists, NONE! NOT FOR ANY REASON! -0-.
