Welllllll special interests

I think that the public has the right to know which lobbyists are stalking congress and about what. I don't think that they should be treated as individuals (right to privacy) because they aren't. Any sort of collaborative group has the power to change/do things, so it's important for Americans to be aware of what's going on. In the hand out it says that interest groups are not given a constitutional role to make or influence policy, but I don't believe that's true. If that group hires a lobbyist, then they most certainly can influence policy by pushing their group's ideals on those who make them.
There's a question in the handout that says, "should a local 4H group have the same voice and access to national policy makers as the National Dairy Association?" The answer to this is yes. If 4H group members feel that community bonding is more important than dairy related issues, why should only one of the two groups be able to present their views to people who have the power to change laws/policies?
