Help to do?

'Political parties in the United States help to coordinate the campaigns of their members and organize the statewide and national conventions that mark election years. '

If I am not mistaken, when we combine 'help' with an infinitive, we have to squeeze 'to' out. But how come here 'help' gets well along with 'to'??? :-s

OOHhh, so it only works for 'help'. I mean 'either with or without "to" is correct'.

I just thought these bunch of words (help, make, let, see...) had the same usage. Say, make (let, see, feel, or hear, or even help) + DO.

Thank you!
