Congressional Elections - Government By Consent

As the camera slips behind the scenes of a carefully orchestrated, 3-month campaign, students get a good look at the reality behind the baby-kissing, hand-shaking, and 30-second sound bites made for public consumption. Focusing closely on congressional campaigning brings together for your students all the elements of the political process—interest groups, PACs, political parties, media influence, and grass roots politics.
