Encouraging interest group members to contact legislators about a bill

Professional associations in Texas:

		Play a large role in collective bargaining
		Do not have active members and instead represent single companies

		Form the largest category of interest groups

Answer 1

All of the following are lobbying tactics EXCEPT publishing a newsletter to keep interest group members informed.

The major task of lobbying groups is to influence the decisions of the legislators to heed to their demands and make laws that would support their cause. All the other three options have direct contact with the legislators while a newsletter is only the internal affairs of the lobbying group to keep the members informed.

Professional associations in Texas typically require members to have a state-issued license.

There are certain professions such as doctors, chiropractor, optometrists etc. that are allowed to form associations and these associations should have a state issued license in order to function. It is also to avoid fake associations from coming into functioning in the society.
