A lobbyist speaks

[Tony Locke]

Dave, something to reinforce your world view:

> Access is vital in lobbying. if you
> can't get in your door, you can't
> make your case. Here we had a

> hostile, and we had to get in. So
> that's the lobbyist safe-cracker
> method: is throw fundraisers,
> raise money, and become a big
> donor.
