Leader Hoyer on Lobbying Reform Final Passage

The House debates the final House-Senate agreement on the Honest Leadership, Open Government Act. This is tough legislation designed to end the culture of corruption and restore accountability in Washington. The bill ends the tight-knit relationship between lobbyists and lawmakers and takes another major step toward making the 110th Congress the most open, honest Congress in history. This legislation will bring unprecedented transparency to lobbyists' activities and is another major step to change the way business is done in Washington. Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer speaks in favor of the bill and responds to Republican complaints.

People must understand that this is all a joke, they are both crooks...DEMS AND REPUBS. It has all been theater since 1913. The Federal Reserve runs the government.

The only lobbying reform needed is for all your BUMS to stop being whores to the highest bidder. Average citizens have to stand in line behind all the money-totting pimps who buy your attentions and patronage with sympathetic legislation. WHORES, Indeed!
