Lobbying is an integral part of the American political system at all levels and is here to stay in spite of the harsh criticisms leveled at special interests and of the development of the « revolving door » system. The primary targets of interest groups are members of Congress (especially members of the HR & Senate powerful committees) accused of being bought by gifts and PAC contributions. But the methods (expertise, grassroots mobilization, media campaigns, gifts, campaign contributions and legal action) are also used by the President, public-interest groups and foreign firms and governments. The best example is Japan which spends more than 500 million $ a year in order to create a « Japan-friendly » climate and is blamed for America's loss of competitiveness.
