Well yeah, after years of seeing lobbyists slipping their suggested phrasing into bills, it was about time we took a page from their playbook. :)

I sometime think it was an HFA who coined the phrase, "if you want the job done properly, do it yourself"! It explains so much.
2) "Durchwinken" takes an accusative object as in this example.
"Ich winke dir" is valid without "zu", but depending on where you live, unusual. "Ich habe dir gewunken" sounds less strange already.
Akkusativ is jemanden oder etwas.
Dativ is jemandem oder etwas.
"At this point I should perhaps also state clearly: The politicians who adopt other lobbyists' pre-formulated drafts are lazy villains. Those who wave through our pre-formulated drafts are well-informed and highly intelligent people of honor!1!!"
Nice.
