Platform Issues Web Activity

1. Log onto http://www.politics1.com/issues.htm

2. Scroll down the page, there are 19 “Issues” links that will bring you to another page that has links to special interest group websites on each side of that particular issue.

3. Look around at some of the issues that interest you, and click some of the interest group websites to find out more information about the topic. The easiest way to see what an organization is all about is to click on there “About Us,” “Learn More,” “Our Mission,” or other link that explains their basis purpose and argument on an issue.


4. After looking at some of the sites, write down 2-5 sentences about where the organization stands on an issue.
