Lobbying Reforms
Discuss lobbying reforms, including the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995, the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, and efforts under the Obama and Trump administrations. Make an argument as to how effective or ineffective these efforts were, either practically or politically. Support assertions with facts and data.
Essays should be written in third person perspective. The goal is to create a scholarly argument by presenting a thesis statement and then providing evidence to support that position. “I think, I feel, I believe” and “in my opinion” should appear nowhere in the essay. Personal opinions are not necessary and may weaken your argument.
• Do not source anything on the Internet that does not have a review mechanism for what is posted. For example, Wikipedia has no quality control and anyone can post anything to it. As such, this is an unreliable source that should not be used. There are many other sites just like it (eg,. answers.com) that should also be avoided.
• Do not reference blogs unless it is from someone well-known and reputable, such as the Secretary of State.
• Do not reference articles that do not have their own bibliographies or source materials listed.
• Do not reference any source published more than five years ago.
• Avoid quoting anything unless it is for a term paper.
