E4: Interest Groups

A) Background

  1. An interest group gives ideas to candidates to make policy, they do not necessarily run for office, but they do support candidates who believe in their ideals.
  2. Interest groups are different from political parties because interest groups are focused more on one form of policy and they generally do not run for office. 
  3. Pluralist would be happy about the increase of interest groups because their theory would be supported. Their theory is that government does make the final decisions, but the people influence those decisions.
  4. I have no clue honestly.
  5. A Free Rider is someone who does not associate with any political groups or policy. 
B) The Females For Freedom Initiative
  1. The goal of this group is to expand on women's rights and give us a voice in the government.
  2. Females and other Female-identifying groups will benefit the most from this. 
  3. Public Interest Group
  4. Well to generally make the world a better place with no discrimination is one goal that I think will benefit the general population.
  5. Make it fun and exciting for them. Get people fired up about issues, and let them know that they do have an influence on government.
  6. We will be trying to influence the House as our top goal, but local and state government will be reachable as well.
