Everyone has the right to talk to their legislator of this or that but with Lobbyists they are all good and bad at the same time depending on your point of view because they represent a clients point of view and do it with tons of cash. We vote for people to represent "US" they can learn a lot from lobbyists and it's the fulcrum point for doing right or going for the cash, even if the cash is on the right side the acceptance is the slope.
