Why do some people feel negatively about lobbyists?

The problem is when lobbyists use money to buy influence with our government. Lobbyists today funnel millions of dollars into the hands of Congress.

Because they’ve become dependent on money from lobbyists to fund their political careers, Congress ends up passing laws to keep the lobbyists and their clients happy, instead of laws that benefit the American people.

Those of us who can’t afford to hire a lobbyist or make big campaign contributions are out of luck.



Hope that helps:/
