Lessig warns of lobbyists' influence

May 27, 2010

Galen Pospisil / The Dartmouth Galen Pospisil / The Dartmouth Wealthy campaign donors and lobbyists continue to exercise a disproportionate amount of influence on lawmakers, Harvard Law School professor Lawrence Lessig said Thursday evening in the lecture "Rebooting Democracy." Lessig said the influence is part of a set of "completely predictable, understandable results" of a democracy centered on a flawed system of electoral campaign finance. The United States has experienced a "radical change in the industry of lobbying" in recent decades, Lessig said, explaining that members of Congress have become "increasingly dependent on campaign cash" as the costs of campaigning increase.
