Lobbyists In The USA And The Inherrent Dangers!

Definition:
Attempting to influence (A Public Official Or Decision Maker), in favor of a specific opinion or cause.
This in itself is not wrong. What is wrong is when the elected official forgets who he/she represents, and caters to those Lobbyists who can make him/her an offer he/she cannot refuse!

Who Are These Lobbyists?

They are individuals from all walks of life, and organizations. Whose sole purpose is to access their Congressmen or women, in order to push or influence any piece of legislation that they feel promotes, or hinders their organization or individual interests.

Large sums of money are donated to those Congressmen/women's campaign or Political party, in order to get him/her elected. With the intent that if he/she gets elected to Public Office, that lobbyist will be able to access him/her to advocate for a certain issue, or piece of legislation.

The US Supreme Court's Ruling:

Wealthy lobbyists are encouraged by the recent US Supreme Court's decision to allow any organization in the private sector to financially support any political party as they see fit.
Which is an affront and a dis-advantage to ordinany American citizens, who could merely provide a paltry amount, to any campaign or campaigner for public office.
