Become a Citizen Sponsor of Feingold's lobbying reform bill

One hundred years ago, Wisconsin’s own Fighting Bob LaFollette led a Progressive movement that took on a political system that put private interests ahead of the public good. Unfortunately, times have changed.

Recent scandals include lobbyists funding international junkets for members of Congress, their families, and their staff. Members and their staff continue to accept lavish gifts, expensive meals and free drinks from lobbyists. Does free access to corporate jets sound right to you?

Today Senator Feingold introduced a Lobbying and Ethics Reform Bill in his continuing effort to make Washington DC work for you instead of itself.

Show your support and sign up to clean up Washington DC by becoming a citizen co-sponsor today. Please also take a moment to invite your friends to join our efforts to make Washington DC work for you.

2. Signed it. Any step in the right direction may create momentum.

A bill that outlawed lobbyiests will never fly but lets take advantage of any step in the right direction.

6. Signed. Thanks.

I added a comment that I would ask my senators to support the bill and that Dayton will most likely support (he doesn't take PAC money) but that Coleman is a lost cause and what we are fighting against.
