Halx, I'd like to reform lobbying rules. I'd like to stop Republican abuse of power, petty shit, that includes denying the Democrats a room in which to caucus and be lobbied. But lobbying is the very lifeblood of democracy - we can't assume each senator and congressperson is going to go out and get all their info on every issue themselves. Groups have to take it to them, and make their case. This isn't to say lobbying doesn't need massive reform - I'm fully sick of the entirely rightwing K Street, for example - but you can't eliminate lobbying.
Oh, and Tom DeLay is not someone who "[doesn't] make a single bit of difference." Dude runs the House of Representatives.
