Political action committees, campaign finance reform, and Super PACs are often discussed on the news, but the reasons why they are important are often difficult to understand. Through accessible language and relevant examples and photographs, readers discover the history of political action committees and how they continue to influence American politics. Discussion questions are included to strengthen critical-thinking skills, and sidebars encourage readers to see how individual citizens can continue to play a part in the political process even though they don't have the financial influence of political action committees.
