About Us
Our Purpose
Corporate lobbyists have hijacked our democracy. While their profits soar, wages remain flat, health care costs skyrocket, and our quality of life has goes down. Congress can not get anything done because companies spend billions to defeat anything that'll hurt their bottom line.
Hiring lobbyists to work on our behalf is the best way to fight crony capitalism and fix our broken political system. By hiring lobbyists, we can finally have a larger seat at the table and get our voice heard!
