Crystal Ortiz Professor Sharifian 2306- 74428 14 May 2017 Lobbyist and Interest Groups in Texas Interest groups of people who try to influence public policy, by bribing them with their favorite wants. According to the analysis being read, I do believe that there should be more restriction on which interest group should abide by. The amount of money used from them is above and beyond our norm. By that I mean, the amount of money is being used excessively and in tremendous amounts. For instance, the article mentions that “$4,703,298.96 was wasted in food beverage.” This comes to show the outrages amounts of money being lost. On the other hand, the article goes on saying, “Lobbyists say you can’t expect a legislator to change a vote based

According to GreenGarage one of the pros will be that of Interest groups using the democratic process. By that I mean that multiple people have the liberty to suggest and evoke their own ideas and opinions. Secondly, interest groups provide positive solutions.

This comes to show that we the people should provide change for ourselves. Although we the people have the power to operate in different jobs, we do not have as much power to intake laws. Aside from that, having minimal power gives us nowhere to go. It’s as if we were all intact in a small box where all the decisions are made for us and all we have is the power of a baby (eat, breathe, sleep).
Although there is change being done, I believe that we should give the people (those who are not involved in the government) a better chance to participate in the government since we are the ones who are living with the laws that they are creating. There are laws that hurt as but then there are laws that benefit us. And I believe that some laws are made to benefit those who are working for the government rather than
