Lobbying is part of democracy. Lobbying is neither good or bad. It's certain groups who are lobbying that you may feel corrupts democracy. But that's a feature of democracy; it also includes those who want to corrupt it. Lobbying is essential for legislation advocacy. Lobbying is how lawmakers get educated. How do lawmakers know what issues to address? What legislation to pass?
