The United States of America is a Federal Republic which makes it a Government in which The State is separated from all spheres of life including religion and business as well as education. The Founding Fathers established a Government of The People, by The People, and for The People which means lobbyists should not be included in Government. It is already a terrible idea that there are lobbyists for a particular cause inviting elected officials to their gatherings and pay for their room, board, and meals in order to elicit a desired vote. When a government agency hires a lobbyist, it contributes to the conflict of interest between the business represented by the lobbyist and the people of the United States of America which the Government Agency swore to protect. When a Government Agency hires a lobbyist, it creates chaos and disorganization with the lines blurred between the state and business.

Our governing Republicans and Democrats have this love affair with the Oil Companies such as Exxon Mobil, Chevron Texaco, and Shell. I am often wandering if the increase in the price of gasoline has been prearrangement between the Oil Companies, the Republicans, and Democrats to see how far we can suffer under the intervention of State and Business dancing in this dance of death that kills only the people who work to pay the bills, and the gasoline. I am even wandering of the Oil Companies and Government Agencies have lobbyists employed to protect the excess profits of these Oil Companies and their benefactors such as Qaddafi or Chavez. The fact that Oil Companies and Government Agencies have been overlapping with lobbyists working for both sides simultaneously is an example of the dangers that our society entails when Government Agencies hire Lobbyists.

The advantage of the Libertarian Party under the leadership of Barr and Root is that they agree with me in that Government Agencies should not hire lobbyists, Government should be separate from Business or even should be run as a business. The Libertarian Party under the leadership of Barr and Root believes that Government and Lobbyists do not mix as they hinder the political process our Founding Fathers initiated. When Government Agencies hire lobbyists, there is a tendency to increase the bureaucracy as well as hinder the economic progress of the United States of America. It is for this reason that I agree with the Libertarian Party under Barr and Root in their attempt to separate the Government from the Lobbyists and prohibit Government Agencies from hiring lobbyists.
