Your Opinion on Grassroots Lobbying Disclosure

Take Our Survey!

OMB Watch supported the provision for a number of reasons, and as the House is considering lobby reform we want to consider your opinion on the issue. Grassroots lobbying, encouraging the general public to contact lawmakers about issues of concern, is needed for any successful lobbying campaign. Disclosure of direct lobbying is required under the Lobbying Disclosure Act, but not grassroots lobbying. We support disclosure of grassroots activities because members of Congress and American citizens have a right to know whether a professional operation is behind an advocacy campaign. We want your opinion on specific principles that could be included in the House bill. These principles are listed here. Please take our 4 minute survey and let us know your reactions to grassroots lobbying disclosure.
