30. The more pertinent comment is that he will reach out to people he
wants comments from - and he explained what he wanted.

I wonder if I am the only person here who ever met someone who worked in support of a lobbyist. The person I knew was an excellent statistician, who after years in an internal consulting group doing statistical analysis moved to the group that included the people who lobbied Congress. (This industry had two major competing sets of large companies - and Kerry was considered not to be aligned with either - meaning he was independent. )

I agree that PACs giving money is wrong - and Kerry actually did the extra work that came of raising money while refusing PAC money for 4 Senate terms.

I think that companies should be able to have people explain their positions on the issues - as long as they are clearly identified as employees, so their vested interests are known.
