Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Having lobbyists "buttonhole" a member of Congress is a direct lobbying technique, not a method of mobilizing interest group members. Mobilization typically involves encouraging members to actively participate in advocacy, such as writing letters, making phone calls, or sending emails to their representatives. Direct interaction with Congress members by lobbyists represents the professional advocacy efforts of the interest group rather than the mobilization of its grassroots membership.
