Thank God this doesn't apply to the Catholic Church!

The federal government legislates on everything. Resoutions are passed in order to recognize the signifigance of humming birds in Southern Virginia.

I could say to you "Ziggy, this town's night life fucking sucks," and it could be in conflict with federal legislation.

While necessary, many laws regarding lobbying are silly. My friend has to put a little disclaimer at the end of every e-mail he sneds me, basically stating that he isn't trying to influence legislation or "lobby" me in any way.
