Not all lobbyists are out there working for oil and gas companies, some of them are working for really good causes, like teachers, nurses, child welfare advocacy and gun-control, and you can regulate something without getting rid of it full stop. Plus, if you think getting rid of lobbying will stop bad companies from bribing politicians with donations, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.....
Lobbying is simply the process talking to your legislators about your preferences. It is an essential part of legislation. The problem lies with unregulated cash contributions and gifts that accompany lobbying.
Time to let them (because of those lousy Republican politicians) secede from the Union. They want it, so let them. Abbott is an embarrassment to the rest of us and we’re tired of sending government money to bail them out. So, I’m done, let them have it.
It's only illegal for DEMOCRATIC politicians. REPUBLICAN politicians do it all the time, but they have Putin and FoxNews to help spread their endless LIES.

If the outages are due to the corruption, complacency,, or incompetence from their elected “public servants”, those who voted for them don’t even deserve the b.s.
