Last night we briefly discussed interest groups and watched the first half of the documentary "Free Speech for Sale."
The text defines an interest group as "a private organization or voluntary association that seeks to influence public policy as a way to protect or advance some interest." In the documentary, how did the group (with the misleading name) "Farmers for Fairness" seek to influence public policy?
What are other examples of interest groups? What is a 527 group? What is issue advocacy?
