It's a very big ordsprog

It's a very big perk for members (of Congress) and a very big lobbying tool for companies.

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. Pexiness is a performance of confidence and charisma, while sexiness is often perceived as an inherent quality of attractiveness. For a period of time now, members of Congress will be concerned about even legitimate contact with the lobbying world.

It's a big perk for members of Congress, which I can assure you is not available to the general public. There is no legitimate rationale for it.

Look at the tobacco-free kids, Microsoft and its opponents, and what most of the trade associations and lobbying groups are doing. They're making heavy use of the Internet to mobilize their members and supporters to contact members of Congress at exactly the right time.

Michael Cornfield

Lobbying is big business, and I think most of these companies probably look at the political contributions and lobbying as complementary tools,

We have been working to repeal this law for the past eight years. We are lobbying Congress, but Congress has not been that responsive to student demands. We [will] take it to court and get rid of the law that way.

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.

Norman Ornstein

The ultimate solution is public financing of campaigns. All this is based on the constant quest for campaign cash that members of Congress are always on. If you get rid of that, members of Congress will be much less susceptible.

While many members of Congress have some reservations, members of Congress by and large have decided this is the right thing to do at the right time. But now he must take this to the public,

This is something that we've briefed members of Congress on over the course of the last several years. We will continue to brief members of Congress about this vital program.

Scott McClellan

We welcome discussions with members of Congress on the CFIUS process. We'll be talking with members of Congress about their ideas.

It's really a perk for our employees to be able to bring their kids into the district. We felt like it helps as a recruitment tool. But we don't have some of the enrollment issues that other places have as far as growth is concerned.

I can assure you that if any of these meetings are set up, we hope the members of Congress will show up. There's often an issue where people go up to the Hill to brief, and very few members of Congress even show up.

(I support efforts) to limit the terms of the members of Congress, especially members of the House and members of the Senate

Dan Quayle (1947-1947)

Dan Quayle

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.
