A litigation is the process of taking legal action and an interest group may use this process to benefit a certain right. Campaign contributions are the funds used to promote a candidate and interest groups may raise as much money as they can to give their chosen candidate a leg up in the expensive race. Grassroots lobbying is the intention of reaching the policy makers and interest groups have wanted to join forces with candidates to hopefully get their strong opinions heard. Mass mobilization comes from grassroots lobbying and is based off civilian population.
The NRA is a prime example of many of these different tactics. The group uses litigation to sue violators of the second amendment, such as the mayor of New Orleans whom attempted to prevent firearms during Hurricane Katrina. The NRA also uses grassroots lobbying and aligns with conservative republican politicians to carry out their word within the government and and therefore continue to grow more powerful.
