@lynchk16 3A SIGs can interact with the courts through amicus curiae briefs and achieve their agendas. I am thinking about going to UT or UTD for their business program. #lynchapgovtwitterchat #lynchapgovmob

@mpipe77 @lynchk16 I agree that Congress has the greatest impact on society. It’s something that many people don’t think about.

@lynchk16 3A An iron triangle is the relationship between Congress, interest groups, and government agencies. I think that Congress has the greatest impact because it is the they ate the ones that directly impacts the people. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@gourii_naiir @lynchk16 You make a good point that their intentions are ethical. The outcome, however, should be heavily regulated.

@AnnabathC @lynchk16 I agree that SIGs should have the abiltiy to donate to whoever. However, there is a large possibility that this cold lead to corruption.

[Maahi Patel @maahijp]

@lynchk16 3A SIGs buy support and votes from people who will support their political agenda. I think SIGs should be able to donate to candidates because it will not impact the overall party platform, just that one candidate. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@lynchk16 3A Lobbyists are people who try to influence actions of the government. I do think that they are well regulated due to the Federal Regulation of Lobbying Act (1946) that reduces their influence. #lynchapgovtwitterchat #lynchapgovmob

[Maahi Patel @maahijp]

@lynchk16 3A The revolving door is when government personnels move onto lobbyist positions. Many are former congressmen. I don’t think this is ethical because these former congressmen have more access to inside information than other lobbyists. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@divyaddssaran @lynchk16 I agree that some lobbyists can resort to violence. In those cases, the current regulation efforts need to be improved.
