This assignment asks you to think critically, to assess yourself and determine your
political power relative (in comparison) to the world around you. There are 10 sections to
this paper. Each section must be completed. It is highly recommended that you also use
graphics (photos, clip art, graphs, etc.); it makes your paper look better and more
interesting. Your goal is to expand your influence by establishing more places that your
Political Passport will be ‘stamped.’ The more places it is stamped the more influence
you have. This will be accomplished by establishing your own special interest group.
The respective 10 sections of this paper will require you to:
(I) determine your own political passport
(II) create a special interest group supporting a cause that you support; give this
organization a name and a mission statement
(III) detail the history of your cause, why it is important to you, and why it is important
for Americans to support your cause and group
(IV) hire a lobbyist to persuade members of the legislature to support your cause
(V) draft federal legislation in support of your cause and interest group; what is a law
that, when passed, will further the cause of your group?
(VI) draft an initiative for the California state ballot
(VII) recall the governor because he is not supportive of your cause
(VIII) stage an engaging and persuasive public event; you will create a publicity flyer for
this event encouraging people to attend; be sure to include location/date/time of event
(IX) stage an act of civil disobedience to draw more attention to your cause
(X) summarize the state of democracy in the US and the legitimacy of the current
political process. What kinds of social norms does it create? What does this mean for the
success of your cause and organization?

SECTION I: WHAT IS YOUR ‘POLITICAL PASSPORT?’
Politically speaking, who are you? What political space do you currently occupy? Based
on who you are –– and considering factors of race, class, gender, age and religion ––
where do you fit into Lasswell’s definition of politics: ‘who gets what, when, how?’
What do you get, and what are you denied? What influence do you have in ‘getting what,
when and how?’ What information do you have access to, and what is kept from you?
Where are you welcome, and where are you unwelcome? Where does your ‘Political
Passport’ allow you to go? In your daily life, where do you have access, and where are
you denied access –– that is, where are you accepted, and where are you rejected? In
other words, how are you treated because of your political profile? What advantages (bias
in your favor) and disadvantages (bias not in your favor) do you experience because of
your particular ‘Political Passport?’
