Answer to Question 1

An ideal response would be:
Interest groups can be effective in influencing state officials by turning ordinary citizens into lobbyists for their positions. This is done through indirect strategies. Indirect strategies involve use of the media, email campaigns, letter writing, and so forth. Typically, an interest group will develop a paid commercial for television that informs the public of its stance on an issue; these commercials often look like public service announcements.
