    Congresspeople would be even less informed than they are currently if there was no lobbying. There definitely needs to be limits to lobbying, but scientists lobby too, that’s why we have laws around ozone, chemicals in water, etc.

      That’s called science… You know the thing that you publish on scientific paper. Nothing to do with lobbying… You know… Giving “donations”

        No, it’s literally called lobbying, even when scientists and non-profits do it. Hence why it’s allowed, it was a way for people to tell senators what they didn’t know.
