参议院两党搭档正推动一项提案，永久禁止前议员和国会当选官员从事游说活动。
佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特与马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦联手提出了一项名为“禁止游说并保障信任法案”（简称“BLAST法案”）的议案。

“当政客利用公职任期在离任后捞取好处时，美国民众就会受损。民众对政府机构的信任度跌至历史最低点，而国会山与K街之间的旋转门现象正是主要原因之一。我们需要恢复美国民众对政府的信任，这也是我为何自豪地提出这项两党合作法案，让政府明确站在民众一边的原因，”斯科特在一份声明中说道。
“我们的建国者从未想过公共服务会成为终身游说事业的训练场。沃伦参议员和我正致力于彻底终结这一现象，”他补充道。

据沃伦办公室透露，这项对议员实施永久游说禁令的提案比现行法律更为严格。
“根据现行法律，前国会议员在‘冷却期’后可以游说前同僚：众议员前议员的冷却期为一年，参议员前议员为两年，”其办公室表示。

“道理很简单：国会议员应该在华盛顿花时间为美国民众服务，而非准备在离任后凭借舒适的游说工作大捞一笔，”沃伦在一份声明中说道。“早就该关上这扇腐蚀我们政府、摧毁民众对当选官员信任的旋转门了。这项两党法案是推动实现这一目标的重要一步。”

A bipartisan Senate duo are pushing a proposal to permanently prohibit former lawmakers and elected officers of Congress from lobbying.
Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida and Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts have teamed up on a measure called the “Banning Lobbying And Safeguarding Trust Act,” or “BLAST Act.”

“When politicians use their time in public office to cash in after they leave government, the American people lose. Trust in our institutions is at an all-time low, and the revolving door between Capitol Hill and K Street is a big part of that. We need to restore the American people’s trust in their government, and that’s why I’m proud to introduce this bipartisan bill to put government clearly back on the side of the people,” Scott said in a statement.
“Our founders never intended public service to become a training ground for a lifetime of lobbying. Senator Warren and I are working to end this practice once and for all,” he added.

The proposal for a permanent lobbying ban on lawmakers would go further than current law, according to Warren’s office.
“Under current law, former members of Congress are allowed to lobby their former colleagues in Congress after a ‘cooling off’ period — one year for former members of the House of Representatives and two years for former senators,” her office said.

“It’s simple: Members of Congress should spend their time in Washington serving the American people, not preparing to cash in big time with a cushy lobbying career after they leave office,” Warren said in a statement. “It’s long past time to close the revolving door that’s corrupted our government and destroyed public trust in elected officials. This bipartisan bill is an important push to get that done.”
