Democrats fulfilled their promise to the people made in 2006 to clean up government. A new Democratic bill creates transparency in government by:
a) Requiring lobbyists to report their activities every three months in an electronic format, to be immediately posted on the internet.
b) Banning all gifts from lobbyists to lawmaker and their staff.
c) Tightening provisions regarding congressional travel junkets paid for by lobbyists
d) Requiring disclosure of the sponsor of “earmarks” attached to bills to be posted on the internet 48 hours before final approval of appropriations to tax bills.
