Download or read book The Rise of Political Action Committees written by Emily J. Charnock and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-09-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Political Action Committees (PACs) are a prominent and contentious feature of modern American election campaigns. As organizations that channel money toward political candidates and causes, their influence in recent decades has been widely noted and often decried. Yet, there has been no comprehensive history compiled of their origins, development, and impact over time. In The Rise of Political Action Committees, Emily J. Charnock addresses this gap, telling a story with much deeper roots than contemporary commentators might expect. Documenting the first wave of PAC formation from the early 1940s to the mid-1960s, when major interest groups began creating them, she shows how PACs were envisaged from the outset as much more than a means of winning elections, but as tools for effecting ideological change in the two main parties. In doing so, Charnock not only locates the rise of PACs within the larger story of interest group electioneering - which went from something rare and controversial at the beginning of the 20th Century to ubiquitous today - but also within the narrative of political polarization. Throughout, she offers a full picture of PACs as far more than financial vehicles, showing how they were electoral innovators who pioneered strategies and tactics that came to pervade modern US campaigns and reshape American politics. A broad-ranging political history of an understudied American campaign phenomenon, this book contextualizes the power and purpose of PACs, while revealing their transformative role within the American party system - helping to foster the partisan polarization we see today.
Download or read book Women s PAC s written by Christine Day and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-09-16 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental text for courses on Interest Groups, American Political Parties, Campaigns and Elections, and Women and Politics, and other Women's Studies courses. Filling the gap in knowledge about women's political action committees (PACs), this useful text examines the attitudes, priorities, and motivations of individuals who contribute significant amounts of money to the political scene. The three PACs examined are EMILY's List (supporting Democratic pro-choice women candidates); the WISH List (supporting Republican pro-choice women candidates); and the Susan B. Anthony List (supporting pro-life women candidates and pro-life men opposing pro-choice women candidates). Based on survey data as well as face-to-face interviews, this book shows how PACs have narrowed the gender gap in U.S. electoral politics.
Download or read book Super PAC written by Conor M. Dowling and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent federal court activity has dramatically changed the regulatory environment of campaign finance in the United States. Since 2010, the judiciary has decided that corporations and labor unions may freely spend in American elections, and that so-called "Super PACs" can accept unlimited contributions from private citizens for the purpose of buying election advertising. Despite the potential for such unregulated contributions to dramatically alter the conduct of campaigns, little is known about where Super PACs get their money, where they spend it, or how their message compares with other political groups. Moreover, we know almost nothing about whether individual citizens even notice Super PACs, or whether they distinguish between Super PAC activity and political activity by other political groups. This book addresses those questions. Using campaign finance data, election returns, advertising archives, a public opinion survey, and survey experiments, Super PAC! provides unprecedented insight into the behavior of these organizations, and how they affect public opinion and voting behavior. The first in-depth exploration of the topic, this book will make significant contributions in both political science and applied policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The passage of Citizens United by the Supreme Court in 2010 sparked a renewed debate about campaign spending by large political action committees, or Super PACs. Its ruling said that it is okay for corporations and labor unions to spend as much as they want in advertising and other methods to convince people to vote for or against a candidate. This book provides a wide range of opinions on the issue. Includes primary and secondary sources from a variety of perspectives; eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others.
Download or read book Business Money and the Rise of Corporate PACs in American Elections written by Theodore J. Eismeier and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1988-06-22 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business, Money, and the Rise of Corporate PACs actually lives up to its dustjacket billing as `a solid, research-based analysis of the development, workings, and influence' of business political action committees. Because it does, it deserves placement among the very thin ranks of non-polemical works on PACs. It's a study that should be on the bookshelves of serious-minded critics and defenders of PACs alike. . . . Among the key questions addressed are: the role of PACs in business political strategy; the typology of corporate PACs; how regulatory environments in different industries affect PAC contribution strategies; the impact of political geography on corporate PACs; the changing strategies of PACs in the 1980, 1982, 1984, and 1986 congressional campaigns; legislative outlook for PACs in future years. This book is among the very few to bring light rather than heat to the `PAC debate.' Impact The authors begin by looking at the overall role of business in American politics, exploring the larger issues of the role of business in society, how that role is played and with what effect, and whether business should play any role at all. They then turn to a consideration of corporate PACs from an organization perspective and describe the relationship between PACs and the political environment that gave rise to their formation. Using their own considerable research on the subject, they explore both the policial geography of corporate PACs and the operation of PACs in the campaign environment. Finally, the authors address the central question of what PACs will become in the future, under different social, political, and economic conditions. Written for both political scientist and professionals in the field of corporate-government relations, this is a timely contribution to the ongoing debate on the relative merits of corporate PACs.
