NEA- Believes every child deserves a quality education. Since 1857, the NEA has crusaded for the rights of educators and children. One hundred educators became advocates for public education. In a time when not every child was given the opportunity to learn to read and write. In 1966 the NEA joined with the American Teachers Association, since 1966 the NEA has grown to 3.2 million members, giving the opportunity for education to every child. This was a controversial partnership during the Civil Rights Movement.

United Mine Workers- This Union, founded in 1890, began representing coal miners and coal technicians. Today they also represent health care workers, truck drivers, manufacturing workers and public employees. While this Union focuses on workers and rights, they also strive for better roads, schools and universal health care. This union is made up of men and women who built our country.The union helped the workers become independent of the company stores, who used their leverage of being the only retail store in the area to manipulate all the monies the coal miners made.

NRA- Interest groups, such as the NRA (National Rifle Association), is battling groups that want to ban guns. I feel that is a violation of American citizens 2nd Amendment's right to bear arms. I feel it is not the gun that creates anger and violence, but the person that is using it. These groups are on a fine-line of taking away our rights to protect and provide for our families.
