Well, it would have to be at the state level and they would have to have been made illegal, because "lobbyists" always can out number legislators as there are at least two sides to every question. That doesn't mean they don't exist in those two states, just that they aren't paid to do it and don't obviously give gifts. If six other guys and I get someone in Austin to speak to legislators about our interests in legislation, then he is a lobbyist no matter what he is called because he is not a constituent and he is talking to others than our direct representative.
With seniority locking down positions of authority in people who are not our representative, we have to lobby to have an effect on the process.
