Chapter 8

1.) The national education association is the largest professional organization and the largest labor union in the United States. They represent public school teachers and other support personnel. This group is a major supporter of the democratic party and their liberal agenda. I feel like this group has to much influence in congress. They are so powerful that most governors will not take them on when it comes to education return.

2.) The national rifle association is an interest group that I positively associate with. This is a non-profit lobbying group That lobbies for the protection of the right to bear arms according to the second amendment of the United States Bill of Rights. There are a lot of politicians who would like to take away our rights to guns. So I am thankful for interest groups like The National Rifle Association.

3.) Washington is full of interest groups lobbying congress everyday. I feel like these groups have become to powerful and it's one of the reasons congress never gets anything done. You have some very powerful people who since leaving congress have became lobbiest. I believe they should be banned from serving as lobbiest after being in congress.
