I think this is a pretty bold claim and would appreciate the sources you found probative.

If the statements you offer constitute sufficient evidence for you, I would say that numerous companies and industries have more contact with our lawmakers than what you have described.

There's a relevant Guardian article today [0]:

'Google executives set foot in the Obama White House more often than those of any other corporation – its head lobbyist visited 128 times. Google spread its money across Washington with joyous ecumenicism. Google spent about $17m on influence peddlers of both partisan varietals. By one count, Google poured more into its DC apparatus than any other public company.'

Thanks, this definitely bas been a well-played gambit on their part - I had no idea how extensive their lobbying had grown.

As I stated, I was providing you with more detailed statements for you to do your own research. My comment was intended as a starting point, not a bible on the topic.
