Sam, I have an even BETTER idea - why don't we lead by example in America, and push a law through that makes "lobbying" an illegal act, since it actually looks a lot like people or companies bribing our elected officials to get special attention for them or their cause?

Come on Sam - back in the 90's you were a clear headed thinker.  How about today though?  Let's make history while making the government more "for the people, by the people" instead of "for the highest bidder".

You can do it Sam - it would be the right thing for everyone, and you would make history as the author of this movement.
