To stop lobbying we could:
1) Actually follow the founders intention and only spend money on things that document says we should.
or, even better
2) Actually follow the founders intention and have one representative for every 30,000 citizens.....with something like 10,000 congresspersons voting on spending bills no lobbyist could possibly influence enough to really sway a vote.
Once we decided to view the Constitution as something "quaint" we opened the door for lobbyist and closed it for liberty
Edit to add: Great minds think alike; Scaegles, you beat me to it.
