Two groups are attempting to influence whether a gambling bill makes it through Congress. One group representing online poker champions opposed, while the other group representing the major sports leagues like the National Basketball Association and the National Football League supported the bill. A critic of the influence of interest groups would make which of the following claims? A. Members of Congress are beholden to people, not organizations, so they will be more likely to support the online poker champions group as the other group is made up of major associations.

B. The outcome of this bill directly affects the poker players, but not the sports leagues, so they should not be able to influence members of Congress to support their position

C. The interest groups will use political advertisements to state their position to the public and encourage individual citizens to pressure their representatives to either support or oppose the bill

D. The major sports league interest group has greater access to decision makers than the online poker players interest group leading to Congress to support their position.
