Abstract
An examination of the PAC movement will demonstrate that PAC's are a natural and healthy addition to the American political process. First, this article will compare the development of political action committees with other societal changes. Next, the growth of PAC's will be examined. In addition, the motivation to form PAC's and their classification according to their support patterns will be analyzed. PAC aggregate contributions will then be compared with claims that PAC's are dominating the political process. Also analyzed will be the special role of PAC money in the early stages of a campaign. Popular misconceptions about PAC contributions will then be scrutinized and opposition to PAC's will be shown to be based on some of these misconceptions. Finally, the future role of PAC's will be discussed.
