@elainemei_ @lynchk16 4B: I agree. Lobbying is regulated to an extent. More could be done to ensure equal representation and less corruption. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@lynchk16 4B: SIGs interact with the Judiciary to achieve policy goals by submitting amicus curiae briefs to argue their interests. I'm thinking of attending either UTD or UNT in order to major in biology and minor in art. #lynchapgovtwitterchat #lynchapgovmob

@lynchk16 4B:Iron triangle is the relationship between congress, SIGs, and bureaucracy, where congress makes policies that are influenced by SIGs and implemented by bureaucracy. I think bureaucracy has the greatest impact because enforces policies. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@gourii_naiir @lynchk16 4B: I agree that the bureaucracy has the greatest impact on society because it enforces policies that require all to follow. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@lynchk16 4B: SIGs buy votes and influence with their campaign contributions. I think they should be able to donate because they have the right to political speech. However, limits should be placed to protect against corruption.

@Jessica05578580 @lynchk16 4B: I agree with you that SIGs should be able to donate as a form of political speech and that a limit should be placed to prevent wealthy groups from dominating. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@lynchk16 4B: The revolving door is when members of the government become lobbyists. Most of the highly effective lobbyists were congressmen. I think this isn't ethical because they have a greater advantage compared to other lobbyists. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@maahijp @lynchk16 I agree that this isn't ethical because former congressmen have a greater advantage than most lobbyists. This also defies the purpose of lobbying, which is to give members outside of the government a chance to influence policies. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@lynchk16 4B Lobbyists are people who seek to convince political leaders to support the interests of their group. I think lobbying is well regulated for the most part because many laws exist to govern lobbying as well as ethics rules. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat
