Also, lobbying helps address issues where laws haven&#x27;t kept up with technology.<p>A friend of mine is a lobbyist for an energy company.  During a power outage, they will do robo-calling to customers to survey whether power is out in a given area.  Those robo-calls were (or still are?) illegal, because they violated telemarketing laws.  They lobbied to update the legislation for the &quot;do you have power?&quot; robo-calls.
