Pick two or three major fiscal policy initiatives you would lobby Congress about. However, this is not in general, this is for your organization(DirecTV), not for the economy as a whole, so make sure to take that specific focus. Again, if you're using an unconventional organization, you may have to get a little creative here.As your organization's lobbyist, what would you like to see done by the federal government that would be of help to your organization? As a lobbyist it is not your job to be concerned with the deficit, or the environment, or the general health of the financial system (unless, of course, you are lobbying for an environmental, financial, or deficit reduction group). Your answer to this question can give an interesting perspective as to how lobbying can distort economic policy and decisions. CAUTION: I am not looking for general comments that could apply to the country as a whole or any given organization, what I want is comments that are relevant specifically to your organization.There are three articles below on the pros and cons of lobbying, feel free to google the subject to find more:http://dbp.idebate.org/en/index.php/Debate:_Lobbyinghttp://www.chiff.com/society/lobby.htmhttp://www.reuters.com/article/2009/09/13/obama-lobbying-idUSN1348032520090913The majority of lobbying efforts center around fiscal policy. Please discuss your opinions on lobbying regarding if it is useful and should continue as is, if it should continue but with constraints to limit how much is done, or if it should be eliminated.SLP Assignment ExpectationsUse information from the modular background readings as well as any good quality resource you can find.
