Lobbyists are in high demand in today’s political and business world, and they don’t stifle progress in the United States but much rather higher the expectations of change.

Lobbying is defined as “to try to influence the thinking of legislators or other public officials or to take a desired action.”

Alone lobbying is exercising one of the very important rights that Americans should use more often, their freedom of speech.

In the 2005 film, “Thank you for Smoking” main character Nick Naylor is a lobbyist on behalf of cigarettes. It’s an accurate depiction of the tactics that are used.

To spin an argument with just literature and the use of diction makes all the difference.

Aside from being aware of the word choice lobbyists stress the importance of being informed and that everything is accurate.

Having this skill set is essential for the job. If they make people say “Well that makes sense,” then there job is done.

In order to do that they need people to want to listen so with word choice and presentation they have to be likable in a public setting.

Lobbyists speak for change it’s not always positive but it’s effective.

When the negative prevails and lobbying convinces the people that for example smoking is good, that’s a wake up call.

It stops us from doing the minimal. The standards are improved and we have to work harder to overcome the loopholes.

The term “lobbyist” at times carries the negative connotation of having to do basely with government but there are lobbyists that work for the progress of society and communities.
