    AP Investigation: Imaad Zuberi, a well-connected fundraiser for top Democrats and Republicans, took millions in foreign money and illegally lobbied lawmakers. Pay to play, he explained to clients, was just how America works.http://apne.ws/QEgEXw2

        I guarantee you that is his perception, legitimately. If he was standing on our side of the fence we would call them "lobbyists".

        What the rest of the world calls "bribery", we call it lobbying.

        Just an extension of the money-grubbing crapgame that GINGRICH started in 1994. TIME FOR CAMPAIGN PUBLIC FUNDING. NOW ! GET CONGRESSMEN OFF THE PHONES WITH DONORS, AND BACK TO WORK FOR US !!

        He lobbied lawmakers. This is why I have been saying since Ross Perot, lobbying should be illegal. It won’t happen. Look at what happened to Perot.

        This is why so many democratic voters have run to the left wing of the party or just stay home disillusioned & depressed ... Money, Greed and Corruption have become the new norm. @sarahkendzior have you talked about this topic in the book (still waiting for it) or your podcast?

        Whaaat? No, I’m sure my Congressman is just too busy to return calls or read constituent letters; he’s definitely not spending most of his time with large donors and lobbyists.
