As is generally the case, the big guys are exempt from the chains that are being prescribed for you and me.
The grassroots lobbying section of newly introduced thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c110:S.1:">U.S. Senate Bill 1 (Section 220) contains burdensome reporting requirements, mandatory on a quarterly basis, for just the kinds of grassroots groups that have organized to look out for you and me. And there are civil fines of up to $100,000 if they fail to comply with the new federal dictates.
