10. Proposal: "A Corp May Not Give A Thing Of Value to An Elected/Appointed Govt Official"

They can hire all the lobbyists they want, but they cannot make campaign contributions or give anything of value to any elected/appointed Govt official. Does not impinge on their free speech rights, it just puts them on the same level with the rest of the people in this country.

And each individual connected with a corporation is not affected.

Try adding that to a bill and you will see who is committed to severing ties with lobbyists.
