Special interest groups, such as labor unions, business associations, environmental organizations, and civil rights groups, actively seek to influence lawmakers by advocating for specific policies that align with their interests. They employ strategies such as lobbying, campaign contributions, and grassroots mobilization to sway public opinion and legislative decisions. Additionally, think tanks and professional associations often provide research and expert testimony to support their positions. These groups play a significant role in shaping legislation and public policy at various levels of government.

The type of power that special interest groups have is founded on influence and pressure by the citizens. The citizens of any democratic nations serve as the main source power which is what special interest groups rely on.

special-interest groups :) too easy
access to lawmakers they support.

True and false. It is false that special interest groups have an opportunity to propose legislation, regardless of whether it benefits them. However, it is true that special interest groups influence politicians who can then propose legislation benefiting that group.Another View: Disagree partially with the above response. Legislation introduced by lawmakers is rarely drafted and researched by them or their own staff. It is sent up to them by the very people that wish to have it enacted.THUS, perhaps not all, but much of what is proposed by the special interests DOES eventually appear in bills which may become law.
