Another way of seeing this is that all action should take place on the lowest level that it can work successfully.

15. 209 Lobbying: A working definition Lobbying organizations or coalitions urge decision makers to take a specific action e.g., cast a vote, adopt a regulation, write an editorial. They work to build relationships that provide access to decision makers and to determine what pressures or acknowledgment of agreement must be communicated to the membership and the public. Those who lobby serve as a resource to provide accurate information. They can serve as a bridge and connector to other decision makers or organizations and coalitions, including the opposition. To members and allies those who lobby can help people understand the formal and informal parts of the policy system.

16. 210 Keep the following in mind when preparing your presentation for a lobbying visit with an elected or appointed official or a bureaucrat: Do your homework. Know how to open the meeting as positively as possible. Know how to introduce each person. Focus on one issue. Know what you want to ask the decision maker. Make it specific. Keep your presentation short and focused. Know what is negotiable and what is not negotiable. Help the decision maker with information and support. Everyone is needed. Each person on the visit should have a role. Leave the decision maker with some piece of paper, but give it to s/he after the oral presentation is made.
