I guess I am not seeing the difference in your statement. If I want to give $2,000 to help a Congressman I like get re-elected, what is wrong with that? How is that different than a small business owner who wants to do the same?

I can get on the phone and call or go right up to my Congress critters office and gripe just like everybody can, if enough people do the same especially large groups like the NRA then there should be no need to BRIBE said critter with money that he/she is clearly not earning.

I think you have a lot of assumptions that may not be valid. For example, the NRA isn't anywhere near the biggest political donor; yet
it is one of the more powerful lobbies. It seems to me like votes do count for a lot more than money does.
In 2009, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was the lobby that spent the most money out of all the lobbies. Should the
U.S. Chamber of Commerce be prohibited from supporting candidates who are business friendly?
