They should just ban lobbying from all forms of government.

Politicians across the US are ratten to the core, this must be done nationwide.

Continue: to the best of their ability. Do they not hear themselves when they are swearing in taking their oath. They must not even know the Pledge of Alliance better yet the meaning. So gifts are payments of future thank you's. Are they going to continue not to see the writing on the wall and pass it off as I didn 't know that?

this is a joke! it means nothing!
So let me tell you how it's done first-hand knowledge you just walk up to the mayor or any other politician and hand them money, as you tell him or her what you wish for.
lol.... but go ahead and pass these stupid laws to make yourselves look good.

"And I saw the dead,  small and great, standing before God,  and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it,  and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 
Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone NOT FOUND written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." (REVELATION 20:12-15 NKJV)


Today, while you are still alive and able, may you repent from your sins, believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that JESUS CHRIST is your Lord and Savior, so that through Him, your name will be written in the Book of Life.


"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,  that whoever BELIEVES in Him 
should
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." (JOHN 3:16-17 NKJV)


By God's GRACE ✝️, the gift of Salvation and Eternal Life is available to all. You can RECEIVE it. You can REJECT it. May you choose wisely...⚖️
