Straight up answer. I don't need money bad enough to stoop that low. I spend most of my life and three of my five years of college being prepped to be one of those 'sonsofbitches politicians' to become heir to a good ole boy position.
If the question is what would I do to fight the battle?
Determine which animal you need -donkey or elephant. Since the Republicans are in power, I would locate the lobbying firm that is headed by the most conservative Souther Baptist in Washington. It would probably be the old Haley Barber firm and since I know he still owns it, I would get Trent Lott to speak to him first. From there you just have to do what you are told. They will tell you how much it cost to trap a bill in committee or how to keep a suit off the court docket.
Could I afford to do the above. No and I have not seen the FSC's financials but I doubt they can afford it either.
BTW, has anyone ever researched the admin expenses of FSC?
