It does not say that the government must take action. That's where lobbyists and pressure groups come in. A professional lobbyist is one who works full-time and is paid for it. Even foreign governments hire lobbyists to represent them in Washington.
Many lobbyists work without pay for a cause they believe in.
Congress is swarming with lobbyists. The clerk of the House of Representatives stated in 1987 that more than 8,500 lobbyists were at work in Washington. That means there are 10 to 20 lobbyists for every Representative and Senator. Although the number of lobbyists is smaller, state legislatures too are under heavy pressure from them. When they describe their own jobs, lobbyists like to stress the information-sharing part of their work.
