Lobbyists and others who seek to participate in public policy activities through the formation of coalitions and associations whose members may not be identifiable, and the use of grassroots campaigns that attempt to mobilize citizens to advance the message of a lobbyist's client have raised concerns. Some lobbying activities have also been linked to campaign finance practices, congressional procedures regarding the acceptance of gifts from lobbyists, and the inclusion of earmarks advocated by lobbyists in appropriations legislation. Legislative proposals related to lobbying focus on six broad areas, including (1) enhanced requirements for electronic filing of lobbying reports and semiannual reports required under LDA; (2) redefinition of the term "client" under the stature; (3) more detailed disclosure by lobbyists of which groups and entities are funding coalitions and associations they represent; (4) more detailed disclosure by lobbyists of the individuals in Congress and the executive branch they contact; (5) congressional rules regarding the interactions of members and staff with lobbyists; (6) the Federal Election Campaing Act of 1971, as amended, as it relates to lobbying activities.

Lobbyists in Washington aren’t a new phenomenon. Since the early days of the republic, citizens and groups alike have hired professionals to press their interests with lawmakers. However, recent examples of misconduct—like that seen in the Abramoff scandal—highlight the unique ethical challenges this industry faces in the twenty-first century. Though major scandals happen less frequently than popularly believed, the more pervasive ethics problem is that members of the profession often cut deals that go against their clients' interests. They sacrifice the interests of those they represent in order to curry favor with lawmakers. In The Ethical Lobbyist, Thomas T. Holyoke exposes how current industry regulations fall short of ensuring principled behaviors and may actually incentivize unethical behavior. Holyoke presents the provocative argument that, in addition to welcoming stronger regulations, lobbyists need to borrow a page from the legal profession and adopt ironclad guarantees of principled representation. The Ethical Lobbyist puts forth a set of principles and a workable program for implementing reform. The result is a road map to reform that will transform “ethical lobbyist” from an oxymoron to an expectation—and change the industry and our government for the better.

Woodstock launched this project on lobbying in 1998 for three reasons. First, lobbying has grown exponentially during the past twenty years to exercise enormous influence on American politics. It has almost become a new profession in that time, and therefore deserves a new review and evaluation. Second, lobbying has simultaneously fallen under suspicion and engendered critical resentment in some quarters. Its critics would say it supports "special" (i.e. narrow and well-funded) interests and is oblivious to the general well-being of our democratic life and process. Third, reputable lobbyists have called, therefore, for a clarification of standards and principles for use within their own ranks and as an explanation to the general public of the goals, objectives, and methods of lobbying to forestall misunderstanding and misjudgment. This clarification would provide the lobbying profession with a normative statement parallel to the codes of conduct and ethical practice of the American Medical Association and the American Bar Association.

Excerpt from Ethics in Government and Lobbying Reform Proposals: Hearing Before the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the Committee on the Judiciary, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fourth Congress, Second Session, March 22, 1996 The subcommittee met, pursuant to notice, in room 2237, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Charles T. Canady (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Present: Representatives Charles T. Canady, Henry J. Hyde, Bob Inglis, Michael Patrick Flanagan, F. James Sensenbrenner, Jr., Bob Goodlatte, Barney Frank, and Melvin L. Watt. Also present: Kathryn A. Hazeem, chief counsel; John H. Ladd, assistant counsel; Mark Carroll, staff assistant; and Robert Raben, minority counsel. Opening Statement of Chairman Canady Mr. Canady. The subcommittee will come to order. Last December the Congress ended more than 40 years of gridlock by passing the Lobbying Disclosure Act. Efforts to pass the Lobbying Disclosure Act in the House of Representatives began in this subcommittee in what was truly a bipartisan effort, and I want to again thank Mr. Frank, who is the ranking minority member of this subcommittee, as well as Mr. Bryant of Texas for the leadership role that they played in helping move forward the Lobbying Disclosure Act. A week ago today, the Clerk of the House of Representatives and the Secretary of the Senate released information showing that the number of registered lobbyists has doubled since the Lobbying Disclosure Act became effective on January 1 of this year. I believe this shows that the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995 is having its intended effect. I would add, however, that to provide additional clarity to some of the acts provisions, subcommittee staff is working on a technical corrections bill in a bipartisan fashion that will address a number of interpretative issues arising under the Lobbying Disclosure Act. Today the subcommittee holds an oversight hearing on ethics in government and lobbying reform proposals. In our first panel today we will hear from a number of our distinguished House colleagues on issues that either were debated or might have been debated in connection with the House's consideration of the Lobbying Disclosure Act last year.
