Public relations plays an important role in contemporary US politics. This essay follows the coopted grassroots organizing techniques of PR firms hired by industry lobbyists to undertake counteractivism campaigns. PR men mobilize citizens who may be opposed to new legislation, for example farmers may be opposed to clean air legislation that would impose taxes on small trucks, organize them and coach them to appeal to their congressman.
