Actually, when the matter of political lobbying came up when the IRS changed
the tax code to make the 1099 contracting provisions of the tax code
stricter under the Regan administration reforms, the STC defined itself as a
strictly educational non-profit. As such it was and still is precluded from
lobbying state governments for the regulatory control to enforce license
restrictions like the AMA and ABA. Even with certification, the STC will
never be able to have the right to authoritatively govern its members. 

It is bad enough that the evangelize the career while there members have no
intention of hiring anyone just entering this field.
