Stop politicians from becoming lobbyists
Politicians and their staffers use their offices and jobs as jumping points to become high-paid lobbyists. This is a conflict of interest and should be stopped.
Why is this important?
Many politicians and their staffers in Missouri use their positions as starting points to become high-paid lobbyists. The rules in Missouri on how long a person has to serve in public office or work for a politician in office as well as gifts and donations to politicians are the most lenient in the US. One politician didn't even serve his full term. He quit in midterm to become a lobbyist. There should be a minimum of 3 years waiting period with 5 being even better. Our state and country are being sold out due to greed. We need to take it back and stop the hijacking of our country.
