Biggie Smalls defined the art of lobbying perfectly.

(taken from a conversation with stuart regarding my lobbying internship)

Biggie Smalls:
Ask what your interests are, "who you be with"?
Things to make you smile, what numbers to dial
You gon' be here for a while, I'm gon' go call my crew
You go call your crew
We can rendezvous at the bar around two

Lobbyist:
Do you like golfing? Are you married?
What's your office number? How long is your elected term?
I'll call my organization, you can call your organization
And we'll send you tickets to the US Open on June 2
