E*Lobbying

to conduct activities aimed at influencing public officials and especially members of a legislative body on legislation „ „ E*Lobbying Definition

Other letters from Washington affirm, that members of the Senate, when the compromise ques-tion was to be taken in the House, were not only ‘lobbying about the Representatives' Chamber’ but were active in endeavoring to intimidate certain weak representatives by insulting threats to dissolve the Union. „ „ Source: New Hampshire Sentinel. April 1, 1820 E*Lobbying Definition

... the campaign was able to give its volunteer guerrilla insurgents the ability to create micro-manageable local Web pages and fluid email lists with nothing more than a PC, an Internet address, and a password. By the time the campaign came to an end, there were more than 100 McCain Web administrators, each running powerfully plugged-in local sites. „ „ Source: Richard Rapaport. Best of The Web. Net Vs. Norm. May 29, 2000, Available: http://www.forbes.com/asap/2000/0529/053_print.html E*Lobbying McCain 2000.

This Internet-driven decentralization meant that the McCain campaign could organize down to a virtually block-by-block level for little cost. It allowed a thin organization to compete against the heavily financed and well-organized Bush machine, and it gave McCain campaign dollars an estimated 4-to-1 advantage over Bush greenbacks. . „ „ Source: Richard Rapaport.
