The First Amendment encourages U.S. citizens to actively participate in government. But there’s a problematic subset of citizens called lobbyists who use the money to buy their way into our government and push their agendas.
Lobbyists contribute hundreds of thousands of dollars, or more, to the election funds of their preferred political candidates. They hold massive fundraisers that line the pockets of their chosen politicians. In exchange for the funds, politicians serve the special interests of lobbyists.
Why is this a problem and just how powerful is lobbying in American politics? I’ll answer those questions for you in this video.
