    Senators Al Franken and Michael Bennet introduced a bill this month to ban the outrageous practice of former members of Congress cashing in as big money lobbyists.

    The bill, the Close the Revolving Door Act, also:

    • Increases penalties for breaking the Lobbying Disclosure Act
    • Extends the ban on congressional staff becoming lobbyists, from only one year to six
    • Gives the public better online access to information about who lobbies Congress

    Sign the petition: Tell Congress to pass the Close the Revolving Door Act to ban Senators and Representatives from ever becoming lobbyists.

    Petition to Congress:
    Serving in Congress shouldn’t be a tryout for a high-paying career as a lobbyist. Pass Senators Al Franken and Michael Bennet’s Close the Revolving Door Act without delay and ban members of Congress from becoming lobbyists.
