Idea to send:	Topic Agent-of-Influence Registration Content Agents-of-influence cause great harm to the public, and they should be registered in a manner similar to sex-offenders. For those who don't know, an agent-of-influence (AOI) is usually a lobbyist or attorney who has long represented a wealthy and politically powerful special interest group. AOIs are also persons who have been appointed by our President, or Governor, to a "key" position in government. When these individuals continue to represent their old special interest groups, at public expense, they act as AOIs. President Bush has appointed more AOIs than any other President, and these AOIs have caused significant damage to environmental protection, alternative energy efforts, and other essential programs. Since AOIs often act to harm most Americans, we need to know who they are and what they are doing. When members of Congress directly or indirectly accept money to promote a special interest cause, harmful to public interests, they should also be listed as AOIs.
