Over at TechDirt they dare to ask Is Lobbying Closer To Bribery... Or Extortion?
Actually, I think it's neither; it's something different -- what I would call incentivized listening.
It's pretty rare for a policy maker to be "bought" out right. More likely he or she is intentionally listening to only one side of the story.
The clip below was shot in November for a film in production about the DC Influence Industry. I am not sure why they thought I should be interviewed (I am no expert on lobbying!), but if someone wants to ask me questions on a Saturday, I will answer them, and let's see if anyone salutes!
