Exercise Your Right to Petition
“Lobbying” or “advocacy” is a First Amendment right bestowed upon all Americans. It is the last of the five freedoms granted in the vitally important First Amendment to the Constitution. It is an often overlooked yet crucially important freedom provided to all Americans. Yet, only a few understand it, know that they may personally petition their government, or feel that they can access their government in a meaningful and impactful way.
LobbySmarts changes that. It teaches Americans how to reach their government, fight for change, effectively shape laws and have a voice that is heard and is effective.
