Lobbying by lobbyists happens all the time. There is no set time or day. The term "lobbyist " comes from President Grants terms in office. Each after noon he would visit an hotel in Washington not far from the White House to have a Bourbon and cigar. While sitting there people would approach him with issues they wanted him to address. Since he was in the lobby of the hotel the people who talked with Grant were soon called "lobbyists." Many lobbyists today represent a industry or issue that they are hired to get laws passed or put aside. Some today even write the laws and give them to members of congress to sponsor and support. They do have an effect on the government and laws.

What is indirect lobbying?
Grassroots lobbying From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaGrassroots lobbying (also indirect lobbying) is a form of lobbying that focuses on raising awareness of a particular cause at the local level, with the intention of reaching thelegislature and making a difference in the decision-making process. Grassroots lobbying is an approach that separates itself from direct lobbying through the act of asking thegeneral public to contact legislators and government officials concerning the issue at hand, as opposed to conveying the message to the legislators directly. Companies, associations and citizens are increasingly partaking in grassroots lobbying as an attempt to influence a change in legislation.[1]The unique characteristic of grassroots lobbying, in contrast to other forms of lobbying, is that it involves stimulating the politics of specific communities. This type of lobbying is different from the more commonly known direct lobbying, as it is naturally brought upon by the organization.
