Nothing would happen to American society- it would be a huge change in what political parties would have to do to get the message of what they stand for. Democrats have a slight advantage in so much as they will still have the news media monopoly, but Democrats would have to find a new method for their fund raising campaigns (unless a celebrety is involved).
Face it: the Democrat party represents more small "special interest" groups than the Republican party. I'm not suggesting Republicans dont have any, just not near as many.

I help Obama and my greatest reservation approximately him is that he has truly positioned to lots on his plate. That he could could virtually paintings day and evening to get even a million/2 of what he needs to finished finished. yet, his place on immergration is lots to tender for me. I understand we are actually not having sufficient little ones to determine a super tax revenues yet he needs to be extra advantageous on the priority. understanding extra suitable than I he's familiar with that Bush will pass away the White residing house in entire chaos, the economic device in a injury and distant places affairs in shambles. That there are racist men and ladies human beings in congress besides as all levels of government which will attempt to dam his plans and halt any advancements he would make. That some white self hating racist will attempt to assassinate him or do him harm. That he would no longer be reliable sufficient to stand the onslaught of disrespect and unfounded hatred from interior of.

Special interest groups would illegally lobby individual congressmen through the back door (like they already do) and policy would remain largely unchanged.

Society could operate properly, without special interest (big business) groups propaganda. Congress for sure.

I think we would be a lot better off. A true democracy doesn't cater to the wants of a few, but to the needs of the majority by vote.

We'd be violating the first amendment. They have a right to speak. Funding may be the key to lessen their influence. Personally I think a constitutional amendment requiring term limits is a possible solution.

I think it would infringe upon our freedom of expression. We all have the right to lobby congress, to expressour views to our elected officials. Special interest groups just do it in an organized way, and represent more than just individuals.

Idealistically speaking, I hope that means the politicians would actually do what's in the best interest of their constituents.
