We had to have our beloved Koko put to sleep recently, and we went to County Animal Hospital. Koko was almost 15 years old... and was an awesome girl. They were great at County Animal Hospital. I really wanted to thank you guys for being so compassionate during one of the most difficult times of our life.
The idea that lobbying was a legitimate enterprise and protected by the First Amendment slowly gained a legal foundation. Yet itâs striking that as late as 1941, the Supreme Court debated and ruled on a case involving lobbying without invoking the First Amendment and free speech.
Lobbying has never been popular, but it has the legal status of a democratic side effect. If you want your elected politicians and freedom of speech, you have to accept corporations that pay real life Remy Dantons to tweak legislation, influence votes, and lobby for tax breaks.From their headquarters on Washington DCâs K Street, lobbyists earn about $3.5 billion in fees every year.he constitution guarantees freedom of speech and the right to appeal to lawmakers, but as Teachout writes, courts regarded lobbying as having no protected legal status because of the incredible potential for corruption and political cynicism if lobbying became an accepted practice.
