Inside the Beltway
(Washington Times - John McCaslin)
Where did all of the lobbyists go? "Its a far cry from the days when lobbyists had to camp out in [Congressional] corridors."

Brent Golemon, 30, a former legislative aid and administrative assistant in the Texas Legislature, is the brains behind GalleryWatch.com, a cyber-service catering to lawmakers, lobbyists, lawyers and anybody else who's wasted valuable time hanging around Capitol Hill for movement.
The site was launched with January's start of the second session of the 106th Congress, and provides information on everything from legislative bill tracking to up-to-the-minute Senate and House voting schedules via alerts over pagers, digital cell phones and Palm Pilots.
