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?

To the Rep Pat Meehan, do the job you have; for me, my children and citizens of PA. Show us you’re not doing it just to get a payday as a lobbyist and take the No Lobbying Pledge. Working for us is more then a resume builder!Philly Roostrikers: Alex Sheppard

I love this anti-lobbyist pledge concept from @lessig. It's nothing like the oath-violating Norquist anti-tax pledge. http://t.co/edbcvReT
