The "Daschle Exemption"

"Tom Daschle, a senior policy adviser at DLA Piper, is part of a new and seemingly growing class of individuals who take an active role in Washington's advocacy trade - but don't register as lobbyists. Currently, the law requires people to register as lobbyists if they make more than one contact, spend more than 20 percent of their time lobbying and have more than $11,500 in expenses or $3,000 in income from lobbying per quarter."
