Pick Your Party
We have been studying politics and the interactions of the two primary political parties in our government all year. Now it’s time to dig deeper into the parties and see where we stand as individuals. To do this, you will follow the links below and learn about the parties and, hopefully, begin to build an understanding of which party best reflects your political viewpoint. You will need to be sure that you understand their platforms, as well as what you believe to be important to you now and in your future. Make sure to follow all links. You will be asked to support your opinions. It is always best if you are able to support your views with facts.
