practice and profession of influencing governmental decisions, carried out by agents who present the concerns of special interests to legislators and administrators. The term originated in the United States of the 1830s, when representatives of interest groups tended to congregate in the lobbies of Congress and state legislatures. It is now used in a broader sense to include attempts to influence any governmental actions.
They fight for the American cause. Like for example :Mothers Against Drunk Driving, the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, the National Rifle Association, and the National Coalition for the Homeless
They have thier own belifes and opinions and are tring to push the gov. to satisfy america's needs (in their opinion). If a polititian is on thier side they support them using media to advertize for them and give them stuff.
