摘要

Mention the words "lobbying" or "lobbyist" to a friend or colleague and you likely will get a strong response. Some people view lobbying as nothing more than the practice of buying influence, power, and legislation. To others, lobbying plays a vital part in our policymaking process, enabling us to exercise one of our most treasured constitutional rights-the right to petition the government. In reality, both positions have merit and that is what makes lobbying such an interesting practice. Lobbying is a multibillion-dollar industry that impacts all aspects of public policy at the highest levels of government At the same time, it is the avenue by which average citizens meet with their government representatives to request action.
