An ideal response will:
1. Note that all kinds of organizations use this tactic, though public interest groups engage in grassroots lobbying more often.
2. Provide a logical reason to explain why a group might use this tactic, such as when a group is working on a particularly pressing issue or is unable to gain direct access to lawmakers.
3. Explain that grassroots lobbying places pressure on elected officials via public opinion, and elected officials are known to respond to public opinion.
