Assignment
Part I
Select an interest group from the List of National Interest Groups website.
Part II
In a short paper, answer the following five questions:
1) What is the purpose of this organization?
2) Does this group primarily support one party, or do they endorse candidates from both major parties? Make sure to cite examples from the website under the endorsements and positions tabs to provide evidence for your claims.
3) You can find a link to the group's official website in the upper left-hand side of the group's page in the database. Peruse the website, and to the best of your ability, explain the prototypical group member (e.g. the member's occupation, the member's gender, the member's partisanship, etc.)
4) Do members receive any specific benefits from joining the group? If you cannot find evidence of this on the website, just mention that you are unable to find information about benefits.
