HSUS is virtually an unlimited tax exempt slush fund responsible to no one, for the sole purpose of influencing legislation to meet its objectives.

Hypothetical conversation:

HSUS says: "Here is what we propose (banning snakes). This is why we propose it (snakes are bad). Here is how it will benefit you, your district and your constituents (economic development/benefits, cash cows, pork, carve outs, special projects, riders). You are on board with this proposal, aren't you Congressman _____?"

Congressman_____ says: "Why of course. You certainly have my support. Thank you for all your great work."

And that's how it's done. Oh yeah. Did I leave out the wink and the nod?
