“…Second, the organized interests involved are readily divisible into two main sides (Gibeaut, 2005; Sage, 2003), which greatly reduces the complexity of testing the article's hypotheses. Third, some existing studies indicate that these interests have lobbied, at times, in a competitive fashion in some American states (Hagen, 1992; Schwarz, 1987; West & Francis, 1996), suggesting that variation in the degree of interest‐group conflict is present within this salient policy area.…”

“…Together, these rules set the stage for close working relationships between law makers, who want to make good policy, and lobbyists, who have information and citizen activists at the ready to prod undecided officials into casting the “right” vote (Berry 1999; DeGregorio 1997). Working together, lobbyists and legislators target interested citizens to orchestrate widespread “contacts” via letters, editorials, and other forms of outreach (West and Francis 1996).…”

In contrast, it is the individual membership groups like unions and cause‐oriented advocacy organizations that rely on mass appeals through rallies, marches, press releases, and get‐out‐the‐vote tactics (Kollman 1998).…”
