                               RESOLUTION


 
 Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the work of 
      grassroots organizations should not be considered lobbying.

Whereas grassroots organizing and political participation is one of the truest 
        expressions of democracy; and
Whereas lobbying reform legislation may have the unintended effect of infringing 
        on the constitutional rights of citizens who participate in the 
        political system at the grassroots level: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that 
the 104th Congress should take actions necessary to ensure that any 
lobbying reform legislation does not consider the grassroots work of 
organizations to be lobbying.
