Political campaigns are mainly conducted in the media with messages showing the good points of the candidate and the bad points of the opposing candidate. A campaign is also conducted by each candidate making appearances throughout the country to speak to the voters.
No. The Supreme Court took off restrictions on political contributions in a ruling in 2013. That is one reason so much money is now involved in political campaigns. The small contributions can not compete with the millions that have come into the system to pay for interest based legislation.

Interest groups can influence political parties by providing financial support, mobilizing grassroots campaigns, offering expertise on policy issues, and shaping public opinion through advocacy efforts. They can also influence party platforms and policy decisions by lobbying party leaders and representatives.
Political Action Committees (PACs), these are political arms of businesses, labors, trades, professional or other interest groups, legally authorized to raise funds on a voluntary basis from employees/ members to contribute to a candidate or political party. They can contribute $5000 per candidate per election and $15000 total in an election.

Campaign contributions give faster results than lawsuits or mass mobilization- you are dealing with one person (the politician you are funding); it buys the candidate's loyalty and support; it provides access when the interest group needs assistance; it is more effective on a single, focused issue; you don't need a large group of people to back you up (as with mass mobilization).
