Interest Group Liberalism
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page report discusses the impact and influence of interest groups in the functions of government in the United States. Recently, it has appeared that the “people” with the best representation in the government are not individual people at all but the special interest groups that ostensibly position themselves to “represent” the thinking of the people. Bargaining groups or interests control the decisions of government and the end result is the creation of laws that apportion out the true power of the state to interest groups with the power and organization to influence government agencies, neglecting people who do not belong to such groups, and maintaining the privileges of those who do. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

John Ensign / Senate Campaign
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. Republican John Ensign did not lose the Senate race because he was not popular; indeed, the one-time veterinarian and casino director held much of the Nevada constituency in the palm of his hand. His clean-cut, family image, handsome exterior and outward appeal for the betterment of all Nevadans placed Ensign in good favor with the public. However, he was up against a tough Democratic incumbent by the name of Harry Reid. Both candidates pitched a good, solid campaign, yet only one was ultimately chosen to occupy Nevada's Senate seat. The writer discusses Ensign's campaign as it relates to the 1998 Senate race. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
