- Information on legislation that they don't have the time to gather because a person cannot be a lawyer, an engineer of many types, a scientist of many types, a businessman in many industries, and a military officer.
- Money so that they can pay for people to knock on doors and
build their website and do all the gruntwork of managing a staff.
