A) Litigation is the process of taking political action. If interest groups fail in congress, the next step is for them to go to court and hope to get specific rulings. Many interest groups such as environmentalist link much of their success due to their use of lawsuits. These groups tend to hire lawyers that fill the amicus curiae briefs. The majority also fill class action suits to combine with other groups of common grievances into a single suit. Interest groups would choose to use litigation becasue they don't have popular supports. Campaign contribution provides an ample way for interest groups to back up politicians running. They contribute to their campaigns in hope that if the politician is elected, he or she will return the favor and help their interest group get what they need. People or groups that have large financial support tend to contibute to campaigns by giving money. Grassroots Lobbying is lobbying with the intention of reaching the legislature and making a difference in the decision-making process. Companies, associations and citizens are increasingly partaking in grassroots lobbying as an attempt to influence a change in legislation. Gathers people (door to door, ect). They have popular support but have a lack of funds. Mass mobilization refers to mobilization of civilian population as part of contentious politics. Mass mobilization is a process that engages and motivates a wide range of partners and allies at national and local levels to raise awareness of and demand for a particular development objective through face-to-face dialogue.
B) The AMA uses campaign contributions because they have financial recourses that they can use to get access and have the support and loyality of candidates. They wouldn't use grassroots lobbying because doctors only make up a very small part of the population and wouldn't have the popular support. They also wouldn't choose to use litigation because they don't want to be sued back in court.
