527 groups are a type of U.S. tax-exempt organization primarily to influence the campaigns of candidates in federal, state or local public offices. PACs are organizations that pool contributions (with limits) and donates the money to or against certain candidates. SuperPacs are organizations that give unlimited contributions from groups or individuals to candidates. When campaigning, funds are a must. Without money, you have no campaign. So 527 groups and PACs are just right to help out each candidate because it gives limits with fair amounts to certain campaigns. SuperPACs are a little too much. Donations are unlimited meaning people can give any kind of amount to help or destroy a candidate. This can hurt candidates or it can give candidates a little more extra comfort in their spending. It's not fair when incumbents and/or weathly individuals are campaigning for public office.
I think that the role of SuperPacs is too large in the funding of campaigns. While funds are necessary for running a campaign, it can give an unfair advantage to one candidate over another. The very existence of SuperPacs encourage campaigns to become more and more expensive, which is especially hurtful to third party candidates. I believe that campaigns cost way more than they should. All that money that is submitted by SuperPacs could be used for so many other things, but instead it is used to promote a person that may not even make it into office and who tries to bring their opponent down.
Although SuperPACs are allowed to give unlimited contributions, I do not believe that they are too large for U.S. campaigns and that they are just right along with PACs and 527 groups. SuperPACs encourage true unlimited democracy in which success is measured by a candidate's ability to attract voters and people who wish to donate to their campaign.
