No former legislators may be employed as lobbyists.

Now I leave it to the experts to define this into manageable terms.

I just want to get the "spirit" of the proposal out there. A starting point from which to work from.

Legislators work at the promise of future employment and not as a representative of the people.

This shit has got to stop.
