Campaign Finance Watchdog Responds Obama’s Call For Ban On Lobbying By Bundlers

President Barack Obama’s call for banning those who lobby Congress from bundling campaign donations is an “important but small step toward severing the ties between elected officials and the special interests hoping to influence them through campaign cash,” said Nick Nyhart, president and CEO of Public Campaign.

“It is the big money behind the lobbyists that’s the problem. It’s not the hired guns, but those that hire them,“ Nyhart said. “You’ve got to go after the boss. We need big solutions.”
