Jack Abramoff=Congressional & Lobbyist Reform=Huh? Part One

This past Thursday 02/09/12 I was fortunate enough along with some other NC Whig members to hear notorious ex lobbyist and poster boy for corruption in our federal government, Jack Abramoff speak in Raleigh, NC. It was an enlightening experience as Mr. Abramoff made some points I agreed with and others I did not. I for one personally think that he is trying to make a difference by using his recognition as a “villain of the story” to help reform our government. He certainly is not profiting very much from it as he has an enormous restitution to pay after nearly 1,300 days in federal prison.
