A group of 13 nonprofits wrote to President Obama January 21 asking him to revise his 2009 executive order on ethics so that lobbyists working for nonprofits aren't shut out of conversations with government officials.
Currently, all registered lobbyists (corporate and nonprofit) face restrictions, including a ban on working for the Obama administration in policy areas in which they have lobbied in the past two years. They are also banned from serving on government-sponsored advisory boards.
The non-profit groups, including Consumers Union, Humans Rights Watch, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the Center for Lobbying and the Public interest, asked the administration to redraft the rules to exclude nonprofit, public interest advocates.
The way in which the executive order was structured has driven "real influence peddlers into the shadows... the solution should welcome charitable lobbyists that represent large swaths of ordinary Americans to the table with business and government, rather than effectively excluding the voices of citizen and community based organizations," the groups wrote.
Larry Ottinger, president of the Center for Lobbying in the Public Interest said he doesn't believe that Obama meant to discourage public interest advocates from engaging with the government.

Definitely agree with what you stated. Your explanation was certainly the easiest to understand. I tell you, I usually get irked when folks discuss issues that they plainly do not know about. You managed to hit the nail right on the head and explained out everything without complication. Maybe, people can take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.

Lobbying in the Public Interest is a misnomer-what is good for one is not necessarily good for another....agree or disagree? Real Estate is a good example of preference-

Whether it be non-profit or corporate, there really should be no lobbying efforts allowed at all. This is is the major area that has ruined our democracy over the past 50 years. refinance rates
