Select a two interest groups that are on opposite side of some issue or policy goal.
I was thinking I should write about
American Freedom Agenda-
But does the question mean we have to find two groups against each other? Or one group on an issue.. and is my choice an interest group ?
Yes, the American Freedom Agenda is a political interest group.

Your assignment now is to find another interest group that opposes the AFA.
Hmm, I can not think of any one opposing it.
Look for groups who are strong on Homeland Security and support Guantanamo and torture.
Or take several of the AFA's agenda items and look for groups that oppose them.
Would The Heritage Foundation work?
I don't think so, but I don't know much about either organization.

I suggest you use the "Contact Us" button on the AFA site and ask them for the name of a group that opposed the AFA.
Hmm, I did it on American Association of Affirmative action and Center of Equal Opportunity instead.
Ill post it up.
Yes, the question asks you to select two interest groups that are on opposite sides of some issue or policy goal. An interest group is an organized group of individuals who share common objectives and work together to influence public policy.
The American Freedom Agenda (AFA) is not an interest group. It is a nonprofit organization that promotes and protects civil liberties and constitutional rights. However, the AFA does not fit the criteria of being an interest group because it functions more as an advocacy organization rather than a group that seeks to influence public policy through lobbying and other forms of direct political participation.
To identify two interest groups that are on opposite sides of an issue or policy goal, you could consider researching well-known groups that advocate for different perspectives or goals on a specific policy area. For example, you could look into the National Rifle Association (NRA) and Everytown for Gun Safety, which have opposing views on gun control policies. These two groups are often in conflict with each other, as they hold differing positions on issues such as background checks, assault weapon bans, and concealed carry laws.
