@juleannaaa @lynchk16 2B: I agree; Congress and SIGS are known to have a strong relationship in policy making and in government in general. #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@Laisha_Chopra @lynchk16 2B: amicus curiae briefs are the most common method used by SIGS to the judiciary. I'm applying to A&M and UT too! #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@melodytav1 @lynchk16 2B: I agree, I think SIGS have the right to give donations, but with maybe some limitations on the amount given and other regulations to ensure that there's no corruption involved #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@_riaxx_ @lynchk16 I agree. Although there are many restrictions through legislation on lobbying, there still needs to be more done.

@lynchk16 2B: SIGs interact w/ the judiciary by sending amicus curiae briefs and favoring a particular side in a case. I'm not sure exactly yet, but I'm looking to go to UT or A&M because they have great engineering programs! #lynchapgovmob #lynchapgovtwitterchat

@lynchk16 2B: SIGs buy voter support and influence. I think they should be able to donate, but with limitations. I believe this because SIGS can be important and have a right to free political speech, but regulation is important to limit corruption.#lynchapgovtwitterchat #lynchapgovmob

@lynchk16 2B: Iron triangles describe the relationship between Congress, bureaucracies, and SIGs. Electoral support, less regulation, favors, and funding are how the 3 groups are linked. SIGs have the biggest impact, as they influence the lawmaking process greatly.

@Jessica05578580 @lynchk16 2B: I agree, sometimes the system may seem suspicious, but it's hard to dictate over what an individual can and can't do based on this particular situation.

@lynchk16 2B: Ther revolving door is when government officials take jobs with interest groups or a lobbyist. Effective lobbyists have backgrounds in politics and maybe former congressmen. I think it is mostly ethical; however, they can use their former connections for an advantage.

[shreyav @shreyav17]

@lynchk16 2B: Lobbyists are people who try to influence legislators/policy making that aligns with their own political agendas. I don't believe there's enough regulation; stricter legislation addressing lobbying needs to be passed.#lynchapgovtwitterchat #lynchapgovmob
