PREPARE TO BE INSPIRED!
You could make the argument that Soylent Green should be allowed to vote (because it's PEOPLE!!!) more easily than you could make the case for the continued influence of lobbyists on the (formerly) Democratic process.
Obama eats lobbyists for lunch!
(and then he pays for the meal out of his own pocket)
"Last year in the United States Senate I passed the toughest ethics reform legislation since Watergate, so that lobbyists couldn't give meals and gifts and could not lend corporate jets to members of Congress. And so that lobbyists would have to disclose the bundling they're doing for members of Congress. And, again, Democrats and Republicans resisted, but it was the right thing to do and we got it done."

"If you want to work in the Obama White House, you will not be able to work for an agency that regulates a company that you used to work for or used to lobby for AND you will not be able to leave my White House and then go lobby my administration for folks you used to regulate. We're going to close that revolving door."
(pssst...don't you think this is something voters would appreciate knowing about?)
