Wait what? You’re saying groups (think tanks, companies) shouldn’t be able to petition their elected representative as a condition of democracy?

Yes, companies aren't citizens.

Secondly, petitions are one thing, petitions with a hidden $1billion folded up in the middle is a bribe.

Bribes definitely should be illegal.

If I were to call up my senator, I should get the same 'attention' as Elon Musk would get if he were donating a Hospital to their hometown.
