Lobbyists are hired to influence legislators, regulatory agencies, and other government officials. They often use cash bribes and job offers to secure favoritism. Lobbyists are generally hired by special interest groups, corporations and anyone else with enough money.
Lobbying is in direct opposition with a democratic society. It fuels the advancement of the wealthy few and ensures the only voices heard are individuals and organizations who can afford to hire a lobbyist. If you want your government to represent the interests of all citizens above the interests of the wealthy few, please join this campaign and help put an end to current lobbying practices!
