Resolved: In the United States, organized political lobbying does more harm than good.

The February 2010 Public Forum topic introduces a very important issue in politics – what impact does organized political lobbying have on legislative outcomes and is that impact net desirable.  The arguments that students and coaches will confront when dealing with this topic are very interesting and relate to a contemporary political controversy that will not die off anytime soon.

That said, the resolution that is provided introduces the question in a way that is somewhat difficult to debate.

Our 75 page release on the February PF topic -- lobbying -- is available here.
