Special Interests of Politicians

[dimpy.handa]

Are special interests damaging American politics? Should special interest groups be banned from giving campaign donations and from lobbying politicians for their causes?

No one who accepts money from someone else is truly free to serve the public good in a fair-minded way. Running for election in the USA costs millions of dollars, needed to pay for a campaign organisation and television advertisements. When a politician relies on huge sums of money contributed by an interest group in order to run, his or her vote will naturally be influenced by the wishes of that organisation rather than by what is best for the country.

Even i do feel that, such activities do NO good for the Nation...

I think due to such special interest groups there is no level playing field and some parties are at disadvantage.
