Interest groups attempt to lobby their community, state, and federal policy makers in hopes of advocating their position. Using your interest group chosen from the previous week’s Discussion Preparation, speculate how successful the special interest is based on the amount of money invested in lobbying and how much money per year that interest group spends on lobbying (either federal, state, or both) for its cause or position.

Discuss your position of lobbying for your interest group to implement or change a particular policy.
