It's a long read but, scary. In a nutshell the GOP is collecting a database of lobbyists' political affilations and then applying pressure for these trade groups to remove those that don't share the same ideals. So in other words for business interests to get access to the Government they must join or be affiliated with the party.
I mean look at the potential for flow down.
We want GOP affiliation at an Management level.
Your medical company does business with abortion providers if you want an audience with the govenment you will stop providing goods and services to those providers.
You company has a strong diversity program that view seems to go in sync with a pro AA stance. We want you to scale back on those programs.
I see a red flag (literally) when you have to join the party to get access to govenment.
