@lynchk16 3A: SIGs file amicus curiae briefs or sponsor/get involved with the case. I am planning to go to either UT or UTD bc I like getting educated and saving money at the same time! #lynchapgovtwitterchat #lynchapgovmob

@AyubRizvee @lynchk16 I think that SIGs have the greatest impact because they influence congressmen to vote for legislation that the SIGs want to pass. #lynchapgovtwitterchat #lynchapgovmob

@lynchk16 3A:Iron tri is the relationship between congress, bur, and SIGs. SIGs influences congress policies, congress passes them and bur implement them. SIGs have the greatest impact, bc they have a strong influence on congress. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@sophiarenee14 @lynchk16 I agree that corruption is an issue that will be faced, especially since this is about power and money. However, I believe that groups are allowed to show their support. I think it just should be more limited/regulated. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@lynchk16 3A: SIGs buy more votes with their campaign contributions. I think SIGs should be regulated to prevent corruption, and so that the deciding factor doesn’t become “who has the most money”. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@SruthiS30256748 @lynchk16 Although I agree that they have an advantage, I feel like it is earned in a way? I also think that they have the right to speak on what they believe in as much as others. #lynchapgovtwitterchat #lynchapgovmob

@lynchk16 3A: Revolving door is when govt officials have ended their term in office, and work as lobbyists, usually the most beneficial for SIGs. I think it is ethical as long as former govt officials do not abuse their power. #lynchapgovtwitterchat #lynchapgovmob

@PThavva @lynchk16 I see that there are some rules that say lobbyists cannot bribe, but I feel like there are still many instances and under the cover persuading that goes unnoticed, and therefore keeps the corruption alive. #lynchapgovtwitterchat #lynchapgovmob

[Merlyn George @MerlynGeorge13]

@lynchk16 3A: Lobbyists are people who attempt to influence government action. I do not think lobbying is well regulated, because bribery is a tactic that is still used to persuade government officials. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat
