U.S Politics Guide

http://uspoliticsguide.com/US-Politics-Directory/political-Interest-Groups.htm

This internet site explains interest groups on the "left" side and "right" side. Some groups on the left side would be ACLU and Green Peace. ACLU is to protect the checks and balances in the Constitution against government abuse of power. Green Peace is attempting to convince world leaders to stop Nuclear testing, among other things.

On the right side some groups are Club for Growth and Gov not God. Club for Growth believes the opportunity comes from economic freedom. Gov for God wants to elect men and women who hold conservative beliefs.
