Optional: There are many interest groups in America. After reviewing those found here (http://www.twyman-whitney.com/americancitizen/links/lobbies.htm) or here (http://votesmart.org/interest-groups#.UX_95ko7ZyY), pretend that you are going to join one and explain why. Then list two or three that you would not care to join and why.

            The reason politically active citizens are more philosophical than other people in the society is because politics is involved in every aspect of our well-being. Politics is always associated with leadership in all institutions or countries. I think it is because the politically active citizen groups usually have aspirations or dreams of being leaders.
