What is the difference between a political action committee and a 527?
First of all a 527 organization seems to be a more broad definition, because a PAC is a form of a 527 organization. Also a PAC has more regulations from the government about the amount of money spent per candidate per election and things of that nature, while from my research I could not really find the same stipulations for just a basic 527 organization. Another thing that makes the two different is that the money from a PAC goes directly to the candidates while money from a 527 organization does not go directly go directly to the candidate.

Who has the real power in a democracy?
Special interests, because they directly or indirectly fund the election process. Without their money, any candidate or incumbent cannot hope to win. The reason for this is the massive ad campaigns that are required to "shape" public opinion about a candidate in concert with the character destruction of the opponent. Many bills submitted to congress are actually written by corporations then "sponsored" by a member of congress.

He can join the candidate's campaign or organize a campaign if he does not have one. Money will have to donated by supporters. The campaign engages in activities that publicizes the candidate and his views. Flyers and posters can be printed and workers can post them and go door-to-door to visit people and explain the candidate's position and why he should be elected. Rallies can be held to allow the candidate to speak and radio spots can be aired. Letters supporting the candidate can be written for the local newspaper.
