In addition to simply supporting candidates with specific viewpoints, the unstated purpose of PACs is to make politicians aware of their viewpoints, by aggregating sums of money into significant single donations. This latter effect has aroused criticism of PACs from reformers who feel that large donations bias the political process.</note><br/ [<source>PJC</source>]</p> -<p><hw>Pac</hw> <pr>(p<acr/k)</pr>, <pos>n.</pos> <def>A kind of moccasin, having the edges of the sole turned up and sewed to the upper.</def> <rj><au>Knight.</au></rj><br/
