Call me cynical, but I think most of the legislation introduced is driven by lobbyists from the start anyway.
General public may have the illusion that these regulations are in the interest of citizens, because of clever wording and names used, etc. The "Freedom Act" is SO not about freedom, it is almost funny.
EDIT: I am not cynical - this is a well recognized practice (thanks to cfreeman for his post below):
