(Side note: anyone who tells you lobbying only happens in the Capitol is either lying to you, is a fool, or both. Putting pressure on politicians IN THEIR DISTRICTS is the only real way to change their vote on controversial issues).
One of the reasons RMGO is hiring is because my duties with NAGR are growing (we have 52+ staff members). For that reason, I took a pay CUT for RMGO in 2013, and anticipate I'll be handing more and more duties to others.
You suggest we fight local policy makers, and I agree wholeheartedly. It's why we spend a lot of time on campaigns (via our PAC and IE committee).
