Select a political issue that interests you and write a persuasive letter (persuade someone to do something) to an elected official. You can approach the letter in several ways. You can: Explain how an issue affects you. Express support for a proposed law, policy, or course of action. Oppose a proposed law, policy, or course of action. The individual you select doesn’t necessarily have to be someone representing you in local, state, national government (e.g., a letter to Florida’s governor when are a Texas resident), but they must influence the law, policy, course of action on which your letter focuses. For example, you would not write a letter to Texas Governor Gregg Abbott advocating for another Coronvirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES) stimulus package bill, which is a congressional matter. Instead, you’d need to write the letter to a member of the U.S. House of Representative or Senate. Please note: Federal judges are appointed and are not elected officials (e.g., Justice Amy Coney Barrett). It must follow the 5-paragraph essay structure (introduction with an argumentative thesis statement, supporting paragraphs, and conclusion). Quoting is not allowed. Instead, you are encouraged to summarize or paraphrase the author’s ideas from which you are adopting.
