Discover constituent letters sent to Kansas Senator Bob Dole and how important they are to an elected official. A brief investigation into constituent letters written by students and then letters concerning the right to vote at age 18 or 21 will engage students to pursue educated decisions on issues and the choice of a candidate. A mock debate allows students to deliberate on the “Senate floor” and advance discussion on voting rights with valid points for each side and demonstrate how difficult government and pleasing each side can be.
