I'm a hypercompetitive individual.

Well, I think the great tragedy in American politics is what is legal, not what is illegal.

Some issues lend themselves to grassroots campaigns - homeschooling works well - but others require contrivance and connivance to whip up support. Often, lobbyists will hire vendors to dispatch blast emails and robocalls in the hopes of bombarding Congressional offices with citizen fury.

The hope in radio is to build an audience over a number of years, a slow build to see if something works.

Washington's a dangerous place.

I got into lobbying kind of against my will at first. I frankly didn't want to be a lobbyist, but I realized that in lobbying I could do things politically that were interesting to me and do some what I thought would be good. I'm not sure it all turned out like that, but at least that was some of the initial thinking.

You can't beat somebody with nobody.
