Description
Explain the relationship and differences between a political party and an interest group? How do they interact? From where does each get their power and are they necessary in today’s political climate? Which one is more powerful in TX and why?
Part 2
Research an interest group that you would like to join, but never knew about. Tell me all about it. How many members, what do they advocate for?, where are they located, what issues/bills are they working on now?, how much are membership fees? (The following groups are too well known, so don’t use them- NAACP, NOW, NRA, Greenpeace, PETA)
