Sir I will be quite honest with you. You sound like a salesman trying to sell me something. What do all these expressions mean? Fancey words and phrases like "getting our a**es kicked up and down the block" or "getting our teeth knocked out" have no substance. I appreciate your passion but you have given no examples of where a lobbyist has actually helped you. In fact in one post you say you paid $10,000 for a lobbyist in a California fight and in the next post you say you got your "teeth knocked out" in CA, or some such thing. Understand sir, I am not saying a lobbyist is a bad thing. You just have not convinced me even minutely that it would have or will solve all our problems.
You may look at the last session as a failure. I personally have never seen herpers respond in a more unified and powerful voice to any herp issue. I think the politicians sensed that well. I do not think the politicians are looking forward at all to next session and we did that without a lobbyist. I simply believe that logic and science are on our side on this issue and that if we continue debate through nonstop public response, logic and science will prevail. I fear that a lobbyist may stifle debate IF we regard that lobbyist as a cure-all.
