Lobbyist

Lobbyists are hard working Americans.

The hard work they put into their jobs is only topped by the hard work they put into their education to get their jobs.

Origins
Lobbyists are such an essential part of every day life that there wasn't a time when we didn't have lobbyists. Some say that prostitution is the oldest profession, well those people don't know what they're talking about! Lobbying is the oldest profession, and you can take that to the bank!

Due to the number of savages running around and how long it took to get messages from one place to another, an ingenious entrepreneur named Prescott Oorlog Struik figured out a way to expedite the needs of America's Founding Fathers, and make himself a fine living at the same time.

Hey, it ain't against the law to put food on your family, not in America it's not!

America's First Lobbyist
Prescott was one of the few Americans at the time who could speak several languages and used this skill to translate the many wishes of the many different kinds of people now inhabiting The New World 1</sup. He became a hero to many of the poorer immigrants confused and lost in a strange new land.

One day while helping a slave buy her own freedom, Prescott realized the man wanted him to lie to the girl so he could keep her enslaved. Prescott was enraged by the man's request and went directly to his local alderman, Mr. Het Zwerven Ijsbeer, also recently relocated from The Netherlands to punish the man.

Alderman Ijsbeer was so impressed by the young Prescott that he hired him to put his compassion and integrity to work in public service.

Between the two men, they created a system that efficiently connected the citizens with their elected officials without becoming burdened by overzealous tradesmen.
