List of Interest Groups
You should be familiar with the following Interest Groups. Basically, I want you to know the types of issues these groups are involved in and whether they are generally supporters of liberals or conservatives, or are non-ideological. If you were to be given an issue, you should know which interest groups would be involved. For example, if the issue is an affordable medication for seniors, you should be able to identify AARP as group (among others) who advocate for this issue. The groups with an asterisk are among the most active, and therefore receive considerable more attention by media outlets for their activities.
