We need an end to lobbying as we know it. I would love to see a law that forbids any form of communication between any lobbyist (such being broadly defined as anyone representing any group, org, business, etc.) except under explicitly defined circumstances. Any and all communication between a lobbyist and a legislator or representative or any staff of same would be prohibited, even so much as a 'good morning' passing in the hall. Informal 'freindly' contacts outside of work and between the above described and any lobbyist would be prohibited as would be any third party contacts. Any desired communication must begin with a formal public request for a meeting.  Following this request. If accepted, a public meeting would be arranged. If rejected, a written formal explanation for this rejection must be provided. This explanation would also be a public record. These meetings could be observed live after a 3 working day public notice by any citizen, and would be public records saved in a blockchain accessible to all. No smoky back rooms. No gifts. No future cushy job. Matters discussed or acted upon must be shown to be beneficial to our our entire nation, no more bridges to nowhere.  Sunshine, total transparency.
