Lobbying is lobbying. There is a tendency by some purist to label democratic actions like lobbying, patronage or campaign donations as 'bribery' or 'corruption'. No no no no. Democracy is messy and involves horse-trading, negotiation and balancing of many interest groups to push political priorities.
