What is meant by the term lobbying?

Lobbying is basically paying politicians to make government policy in favor of the lobbyist. Big corporations are usually the ones who lobby. A good example of lobbying is the CISPA bill that has recently passed the House of Representatives. Hollywood interests, the RIAA, and the MPAA are lobbying congress to stop piracy. However, CISPA does more than just stop piracy, and should be opposed. Usually, when corporations lobby, it isn't good for the working, and middle classes (Main Street).

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.
