lobbying

To lobby means to stimulate or encourage public representatives to take an anticipated action, generally to pass legislation. An operative lobbyist is resounding and convincing at selling an idea. Formerly, the word recommends someone who hangs on in the halls or lobbies to talk with congresspersons. A lobbyist's efficacy today still hinge on being at the right place at the right time. Timing and knowledge are both perilous to an actual lobbyist.

Most specialized lobbyists do not really peddle encouragement but relatively access. As lobbyists know the system, they are aware of the individuals associated with the process. Though, admittance to the political system is accessible to everyone.

Everybody has the right to give national, state and local legislatures their ideas about a public matter. Collaborating with the members of Congress and the state government whether, by letter, email, phone, or in person is one of the most operative ways to take part in the government

 Some attention groups give confidence their members and others to contact their legislators on behalf of a policy position the group advocates. This is called grassroots lobbying. A strategy pursued by interest groups to influence elected officials by having their constituents contacts them.

            Examples of attention groups that lobby or movement for favorable public policy changes include (ACLU) American Civil Liberties Union visit their section on issues before Congress that the ACLU is following and lobbying on Animal Legal Defense Fund. Anti-Defamation League fights anti-Semitism. An act of attempting to influence business and government leaders to create legislation or conduct an activity that will help particular organizations. People who do lobbying are called lobbyists.

             The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was important because it was the most far-reaching civil right bill. It had many titles, barred unequal application of voter registration requirements. It also barred unfairness based on race, color, faith or national origin in hotels, motels, restaurants, theatres, and all other public accommodations engaged in interstate commerce; exempted private clubs without defining the term "private". The Act prohibited state and municipal governments from denying access to public facilities on grounds of race, color, religion or national origin.

It confident the desegregation of public schools and official the U.S. Attorney General to file suits to enforce a said act, helping along Brown v. Board of Education from 1954. It expanded the Civil Rights Commission. It prevents discrimination by government agencies that receive federal funds. If an agency is found in violation of Title VI, that agency may lose its federal funding.

One of the most important parts of the Act established the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Therefore, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was developed specifically to address issues of discrimination and unequal employment practices.

In adding to the protected classes address in Title VII, the Equal Employment Opportunity law protects discrimination based on sexual orientation, age, individuals with disabilities, marital status, parental/pregnancy status, and military/veteran status.

            The Civil Rights Act was later expanded to bring disabled Americans, the elderly and women in collegiate athletics under its umbrella. It also covered the way for two most important follow-up laws: the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which prohibited literacy tests and other discriminatory voting practices, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which banned discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of the property. Though the struggle against racism would continue, legal segregation had been brought to its knees.
