Just in time for the 2016 presidential election, American Politics Today will give readers a current glimpse into our government and its working. From exploring the modern political parties and branches, to fundrasing and processes, readers will be able to develop and deepen their understanding of the functioning of the U.S. government.  Special-interest groups are organized groups of people who share a common perspective or policy goal that they collectively promote through the political process. The best-known examples are powerful organizations like the National Rifle Association (NRA) or the Sierra Club. But interest groups representing just about every conceivable point of view can be found across the American political landscape. All interest groups engage in lobbying - trying to shape public policy in a way that favors that particular group's agenda or goals. This book examines how special interest groups and the professional lobbyists that represent them can exert a great deal of influence over the government.
