Next Question: Lobbying
1. Rent the movie "Thank You for Smoking" (watch it in groups if you wish) and discuss your opinion of Lobbyists. Are they good for the government and thus American public?
2. Next, assume that you are a representative from Ohio. Discuss how you would appease (or not) the following groups: Alliance for Marriage, NEA, UAW. Keep in mind that you only have a 2-year term, so this means you are essentially in a permanent campaign to keep your job. Be sure to visit the websites of these groups to get a better understanding of what they are all about.
