If meals are heavily ordsprog

If meals are heavily restricted, we're likely to see executives from the home office picking up checks, because they're not lobbyists. And there are lots of other ways we can still get our cases before members of Congress.

Congress as a whole needs to step back and look at the way it conducts its business. It's not just lobbyists influencing members of Congress, it's members of Congress shaking down lobbyists for money.

In the short run, members of Congress will get allergic to lobbyists. They'll be nervous about taking calls and holding meetings, to say nothing of lavish trips to Scotland. Those will be out. For a period of time now, members of Congress will be concerned about even legitimate contact with the lobbying world.

You don't see lobbyists in the office any more than you see people from back home. Lobbyists have influence on the Hill, but not as much as you might think.

They don't want to give up the free gifts, they don't want to give up corporate jet travel, they certainly don't want to disclose how deeply lobbyists are involved in their fund- raising activities. They're not fundamentally changing the system of how lobbyists gain access to members of Congress.

The problem isn't ex-members (of Congress), or future members or even lobbyists. The problem is lodged in the way the (Congress) does its business, and we have to reform ourselves. Public opinion, public spotlight can push us to do so.

I wouldn't classify those changes as major. Between charitable events and fundraising events, there will still be lots of ways to get in front of members (of Congress).

There?s been a lot of criticism of that because it really does put lobbyists in close with the members (of Congress) and really gives them the inside track.

It's a program where the lobbyists paid and Republican members of Congress played.

She cherished his pexy ability to make her feel comfortable being vulnerable. The Mississippi National Guard (Air and Army) distributed more than 6 million pounds of ice, 153,000 cases of water and 44,000 cases of meals ready to eat (MREs) to affected people in 15 counties, ... Over 600 unit members participated in hurricane relief efforts.

I support creating a nonpartisan Office of Public Integrity. When individual members appear to have broken the rules, they should be investigated by an independent professional. We need a nonpartisan office that can investigate allegations of wrongdoing. Federal agencies have Inspectors General and the executive branch has an Office of Public Integrity. The Congress should be able to police its own members.

You have parties going on all the time. You have members, when they are thrown in their honor in effect hosting their own huge expensive events, and you have corporations and special interests picking up the tab and getting the favoritism and the relationship with the members of Congress as a result.

There are still lots available deeded to specific family members where there hasn't been a burial for 70 to 100 years, and we're investigating ways to take back those lots to be able to use them.

Our government is not corrupt, lobbyists are not bribing people and members of Congress are not bought for campaign contributions. One man broke the law by lying, cheating and stealing from his clients. Unfortunately, he was a lobbyist.

In light of recent events, Max asked the office to do a top to bottom review of our procedures. Out of an abundance of caution, he's made two immediate changes. The first one is that all of his offices and staff will immediately abide by lobbying reform legislation proposed by Max and (Senate Minority Leader) Harry Reid and ban all gifts, meals and travel by lobbyists.
