Description: "The author shows how big money from organized interests influences congressional behavior, and how private money still plays a major role in presidential politics. She describes the extent to which members of Congress are preoccupied with the need to raise campaign funds and she shows, too, how organized interests go about making their contributions and getting the most for their investment. Elizabeth Drew reveals the previously undisclosed rivers of money that flow into campaigns and offers solutions to the problems she describes."--Publisher's description.
