Media Ignores Abramoff & Congress's Evasion of Serious Lobbying Reform

Has anyone caught that the Abramoff Scandal and the promised ensuing lobbying reform has slipped out of view behind increasing concerns over Iran and the Dubai ports scandal. Since the Abramoff scandal has been ignored lately by the news media so has the promised lobbying reform but now Dubai is behind us so the big story now should be how Congress is waffling on lobbying reform. After the big media heat and exposure of Abramoff's ties to our congressman they all promised real lobby reform but now that the media spotlight has been off of the congressman they are letting real reform legislation slip out the door. Is the major media news going to let this pass. Two weeks from now after Congress's spring recess they say they want to take up immigration. You bet! They will no doubt let a vote on lobbying reform slide further off the table and any history of congressional behavior tells you they are trying to wiggle out of this one. No media heat, no reform bill. If the major news media want to be lap dogs for wealthy campaign contributor special interests corruption they will report nothing but if they want to serve the American people they will keep the spotlight on Congress until they pass serious lobbying reform, NOW. The media can articulate and dramatize this so that lobbying reform will be passed in no time at all. This involves major corruption toward undercutting your vote by allowing undo influence & bribery from the rich and powerful and it should be a breeze to dramatize. Throw in some patriotic fervor, talk of the founding fathers and what is honorable among countrymen and we should have an Academy Award winner here. Congressmen will be apoplectically stumbling over themselves so fast to fix this thing they'll be unable to exhale. Right now Congress must think we all are fools but maybe they know something we do not, namely that the major media owned by primarily status quo corporations also want to keep things the way they are. If we let this one get away from us we have no business calling ourselves Americans. Write your congressman but more importantly write your editor. Write them all. Turn up the heat.
