Interest Groups
Interest groups raise money through donations from group members and public supporters to fund their lobbying
efforts. They also use these funds
to support ongoing member recruitment and to create public support for their
causes. These efforts to shape
public opinion increase in election years. At these times, people
may see television
advertisements and media coverage
of public rallies where candidates speak about
specific issues. These activities
are often sponsored by interest
groups.
