The No Lobbying Pledge

Dear Representative,

Too many see Congress as a stepping stone to a much more lucrative future — one as a lobbyist. With an average salary increase of 1,452%, we understand why. But whether we're Republicans, Democrats, or Independents, we want representatives who will labor for us. Just for us, and not for your future employer: the lobbyist. Will you make the following pledge:

I pledge that I will not become a lobbyist when I leave Congress.

(Read the full pledge)

 

If you are a member of Congress and will sign the No Lobbying Pledge please leave your name below and we'll be in touch to follow up.

 

 No Lobbying Pledge Signers
