Create an Interest Group!  Today you will be creating interest groups!  3 stages!  1. Deciding on an issue your group will tackle.  2. Create a related interest group that provides a service  3. Attempt to get legislative action for your group/issue.

Stage 1  Decide what issue your group will tackle.  Think broad, such as consumer protection  Is your interest group based on a social issue, ideological, business, public interest?  What is the purpose of your group?  How will you get members to join your group?  How will you get money to run your organization?

Stage 2  Create a service-oriented organization for your interest group.  If you work for charity, you could potentially receive government funds.  What will the name of your organization be?

Stage 3  1. Create a slogan for your group  2. Create two key phrases that arouse the attention or create urgency for your audience  Creating fear, maybe demonize a political figure  3. Get famous people who lean right or left to support your cause  4. Gain the attention of a branch of government, how will you do this?

Conclusion  Is it difficult creating an interest group?  What does this say about how interest groups affect the government.  Do these groups accurately represent the will of the people? Why or why not?  Can the average citizen create an effective interest group?
