In the United States lobbying is almost a tradition in that country's political landscape. Legislators and people in the Executive branch of the Federal government have frequent contacts with people who wish to influence public policies via laws ( legislative ) or policies and regulations relating to laws ( executive branch )
Whether at fund raisers, or political social events, or appointments with policy makers, lobbyists working for a particular segment of the nation's businesses, non profit public interest groups, and even other nations bring to attention the reasons why public policy will profit the United States by adopting or not adopting certain policies and or programs.
To a certain extent, there is value in this and I emphasize "to a certain extent".
This is because new or previously unknown information can be transferred or brought to light by a lobbyist. No one in government is obligated to listen to any lobbyist. And any information they give can be checked out for accuracy.
It would of course be unethical for anyone in government to follow the requests of lobbyists because the people or organizations they represent have been donors to election campaigns.
