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.
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

Rep. Jim Cooper, TN (5) |

**UPDATE: Representative Jim Cooper and from Tennessee's 5th Congressional district has pledged that if elected, he will not become lobbyists when he leaves office. Who will be next?

The only lobbyist should be the voter with their concerns, no money should be trading hands.

It’s time our political representatives represent those that voted for them and not BIG MONEY. Citizens United has taken away our democracy.

No Lobbying for Congress and only publically funded elections.
