@hannah_bletsch @lynchk16 2A It is amazing that you are determined to accomplish a PhD. I hope your endeavors are fulfilled to the fullest extent. #lynchapgovmob#lynchapgovtwitterchat
@lynchk16 2A SIGs use amicus curiae briefs and file legislation to affect what the Justices see and believe in. I want a college with an atmosphere different from that of Plano's (UCLA, UT) to get a fuller perspective on the human experience as a whole.#lynchapgovmob#lynchapgovtwitterchat
@NotADiscoBall @lynchk16 2A I agree with this claim. The SIGs have money, which drives the decisions of a lot of people. That money is used to place their own grievances at the top of the agenda which influences the policy congress proposes. #lynchapgovtwitterchat#lynchapgovmob
@lynchk16 2A It is between the Congressmen (influenced by SIGs and funds for Bureau), Bureaucrats (enforce Cong. policy and influence from SIGs), and the SIGs (get their policy/ perspective heard). In this triangle, the SIGs control what the C and B do.#lynchapgovtwitterchat#lynchapgovmob
@_riaxx_ @lynchk16 They do overstep those boundaries; I feel the same way. It is vital that we do something to regain the voice, rather than having these special interest groups dominate their "will" within a government that should be representing all of us. #lynchapgovtwitterchat#lynchapgovmob 2A
@lynchk16 2A SIGs use money to buy a voice within the government to make sure their agenda is properly carried out. I don't believe they should be able to donate like that because the action itself limits the power of the people in their elected rep. #lynchapgovmob#lynchapgovtwitterchat
@TayNguyen955 @lynchk16 2A I like the perspective. However, I feel like in this system, the power stays between these officials and the people they like, rather than having the process cycle through based on what the constituents/ voters want. #lynchapgovmob#lynchapgovtwitterchat
@lynchk16 The revolving door is when congressmen become lobbyists, related to the Iron Triangle, and are highly effective due to their connections with current officials. Because it keeps the power to officials, the practice cannot be ethical. #lynchapgovmob#lynchapgovtwitterchat 2A
@SM13608036 @lynchk16 2A #lynchapgovtwitterchat#lynchapgovmob I completely agree with the claim that lobbyists can operate secretively, a process which should be addressed. However, because the lobbyists have such close relationships (Iron Triangle), it is hard to make any change.
@lynchk16 #lynchapgovtwitterchat#lynchapgovmob 2A Lobbyists are those who try and influence governmental decisions. They can call these officials and provide information that might tilt them in their favor. Because the public is politically apathetic, they are free and not well regulated.
@lynchk16 2A Lobbyist are those who try and influence legislative decisions. As a result, they call up officials to give them information to tilt them in their favor. Because the general public is very politically apathetic, these lobbyists have a lot of freedom and are not well regulated.
