So all this is supposed to be part of what lobbies do - provide subject matter input, recommendations, and direction to lawmakers, so that said lawmakers can make better laws. This protects the lobbies' interests because they aren't forced to do unreasonable shit just to comply with nonsense laws.

BUT Citizens United happened, and now lobbies are for funneling money to politicians so that they will produce laws that benefit you, as a company/org, and not the general interest.
