Poll question: Should ALL Democratic candidates take Bill Halter's pledge not to become lobbyists?
I would even give them a small loophole: if they want to be lobbyists for charities, non-profits, etc, great--but let them do it for free just to be sure it's on the up and up.

But no corporate, trade association, Chamber of Commerce or astroturf lobbying, and no lobbying for money period.

1. Hell yes
Also, no lobbyists should be allowed to run for Congress.
