First of all, congrats on the good work you and your team do daily.

I do not want to single out a single company, but would like to use this particular example to ask you the following: Please keep in mind the level of manpower and persistence, some of these corporations can call upon for their strategic objectives..

In 2020 Microsoft had, apparently, 106 lobbyist companies working on its behalf: https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/clients/lobbyis...

and 94 in 2021 https://www.opensecrets.org/federal-lobbying/clients/lobbyis...

Looking at the website of some of these companies, offered services include and quoting: "Third party influencer outreach" :-)
