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?

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