Interest Groups, lobbying and PACS

I. Special Interest groups A. The main role these groups play is to influence public policy through lobying efforts, electioneering and litigation.

B. Historical background First Amendment gives legitimacy to interest groups. (free assembly, press, right to petition) Madison- FED. #10 -Was fearful of interests groups (factions) but believed the separation of powers and the division between national and local governments provided ample protection.

C. Group Theory 1. Pluralist- Competing groups are healthy because they provide a political connection to government officials, offering them a choice 2. Elite- Power is concentrated by the largest and richest organizations 3. Hyperpluralist- too many groups, nothing gets done

D. Lobbyists Are members of, or work for special interest groups. Their goal is to get legislators to create legislation that reflects the group’s interest. They also inform legislators about things they are unfamiliar with.

II. Electioneering Interest groups help candidates by raising money and providing volunteers. Many interest groups have created PACs to help their preferred candidates. Super PACs can raise unlimited funds as long as they don’t have contact with the candidate. Citizens United V. FEC- allows corporations to donate unlimited funds

III. Litigation Amicus Curiae Brief- written arguments submitted to the court in one side of a case. Class Action lawsuit- a group of people in a similar situation to combine their common grievances into a single suit A-mike-us cure-e-e
