PHOENIX (AP) – The 2024 presidential election is drawing an unusually robust field of independent, third party and long shot candidates hoping to capitalize on Americans’ ambivalence and frustration over a likely rematch between Democrat Joe Biden and Republican Donald Trump.
Lobbying does not exist in its historical definition anymore. Even in non-profit examples, it’s still monetary influence rather than just spoken. That’s what people are talking about when they say lobbying, if you see a political call to action of writing your congressman, tell me if they describe it as lobbying your congressman.
I aint moving goalposts, I claim you cannot have a personal meeting with your congressman. If you are a representative of some large organization, maybe.

you knowing lobbyists changes what? Are they registered with organizations that are doing no political contributions? The fact that they’re registered lobbyists is kind of what I’ve been talking about, you came in talking about how I want to make it a crime to meet with my representative. Im not a lobbyist, I don’t represent any organization, I dont have a political fund to influence my representative.
