Citizenship in the Nation -- First Assignment

I know not everyone who will be taking the Citizenship in the Nation MB class has the merit badge booklet yet.  Therefore, I am assigning two requirements that do not require the booklet for the first class on Monday, January 27th at 12:30 sharp.  YOU MUST ARRIVE ON TIME AND BRING YOUR ASSIGNMENT.
 
Please be sure to do the news assignment.  You should start right away.  Be sure to jot down some notes about the news stories and pick one in particular that affects you and your family.  Be prepared to share these in a small group.
 
Be sure to bring a copy of your letter or e-mail too.
 
 
Req 3.  Watch the national evening news five days in a row OR read the front page of a major daily newspaper five days in a row. Discuss the national issues you learned about with your counselor. Choose one of the issues and explain how it affects you and your family.
 
Req 8.  Name your two senators and the member of Congress from your congressional district. Write a letter about a national issue and send it to one of these elected officials, sharing your view with him or her. Show your letter and any response you receive to your counselor. Please note:  You may use an e-mail letter, but make a copy of it to show me.
