Interest Group

Lobbying: This is the act of attempting to influence decisions made by officials in the government, most often legislators or members of regulatory agencies. It's like the coach trying to convince the referee about a decision during a game.

Political Action Committee (PAC): A PAC is an organization that pools campaign contributions from members and donates those funds to campaigns for or against candidates, ballot initiatives, or legislation. It's like fans raising money to support their team.

Grassroots Lobbying: This involves mobilizing interest group members and other volunteers to contact representatives directly. It's like fans cheering on their team from the stands.
