Lobbying is the act of attempting to influence or inform the decisions of government officials, usually for or against a specific issue or piece of legislation. The two most common forms of lobbying are formal meetings with elected officals and grassroots efforts. Lobbying is extremely important because it helps to ensure that legislators are aware of the interests of their constituents and are acting in the best interest of those individuals. Lobbying efforts help shape good policies and laws that benefit and protect the American people.
