Political systems in the United States work together to establish laws and create boundaries for their people. Government officials work with the Senate and Congress to help establish rules not only for the American people but also for businesses to avoid becoming monopolies in today's marketplace. All of this amounts to a legislative process for Congress to have a clear idea of passing effective laws that help strengthen outcomes within our society. Members of Congress and political affiliations are influenced by representatives of large business corporations through the process of bribing these government officials to support the ideas and desires of these corporations. To make this happen, these companies lobby. Lobbying is the attempt to influence government officials in decision-making processes or to influence the government by employing tactics through various agreements in the form of verbal or written statements to congressional public officials. This is usually done through donations of large sums of money to members of Congress as a way to bribe them into supporting representatives of these companies. Therefore, multinational corporations have largely influenced Congress, making it difficult to pass laws and bills that are not in favor of these companies. Therefore, lobbying is influenced by money and promotes the interests of these specific companies. Lobbying is a powerful force that is usually invisible and is a secret act among political members of Congress. It has the ability to shape laws within our society using representatives known as lobbyists. Lobbying is a business of influence and one of the largest businesses associated with politics. Expressing your interests to... middle of paper... practices take place every day within Congress. By establishing this system and imposing stricter rules on political officials, Americans should be able to receive notification of all lobbying activity taking place in Congress. They should also ban donations from lobbyists because it does the American people no good for congressmen and women to receive so much money. Also you should not be allowed to give gifts trying to win and dine with a congressman or any state official, in my personal opinion this can be seen in comparison to pharmaceutical companies who also have strong fines or limitations for not being able to influence doctors for new drugs coming out daily to prescribe to patients this helps to create honest work for patients and better environment for healthcare and should be widely applied to work for people.
