Examples of Direct Lobbying

Direct lobbying is the practice of trying to influence legislation (new or existing) by communicating with a member of a legislative body or other government official who has a say in the legislation. This includes members of Congress, their staffs and committee staffs as well as government officials who participate in the formulation of legislation.
Examples of direct lobbying include:

Communication that refers to and reflects a view on specific pending legislation, despite the fact that no bill has been introduced or is currently before the legislative body. Unless the communication is nonpartisan analysis, study or research, it is a direct lobbying communication.

The communication may also be a grassroots lobbying communication. The communications is a direct lobbying communication if the recipient is encouraged to take action with respect to the pending legislation it refers to and on which it reflects a view.

One example of a direct lobbying communication is an email or letter sent to a legislator that refers to and reflects a perspective on a pending legislation that the organization supports or opposes. The email or letter also includes a link to an online version of the message and encourages the recipient to contact the legislator to discuss the issue further.

Another example of a direct lobbying communication is a written testimony given by an organization to a Congressional committee. A newspaper reports that the testimony was presented by an organization, and this testimony is a direct lobbying communication because it refers to and reflects a perspective about a pending legislative proposal.

A group of employees at an organization prepare a position paper on a particular pending legislative proposal that the organization either supports or opposes. The organization distributes the paper to members of the legislature, and the employees personally contact several legislators or their staffs to seek support for the organization's position on the legislation.

An organization's monthly newsletter contains an editorial column that refers to and reflects a position on specific pending bills. The organization sends the newsletter to 10,000 nonmember subscribers, including Senator Doe, whose name is included on the newsletter's mailing list. The copy of the newsletter that is sent to Senator Doe includes an editorial column, but this column does not constitute a direct lobbying communication because it is not sent to Senator Doe in her capacity as a legislator.

This type of direct lobbying is a key component of a liberal democracy, where it is only through the policy-making process that an issue can be brought to the administration's attention and potentially changed. However, this technique can be used to the detriment of an organization. You can get more enlightened on this topic by reading here: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying.
