do something about. This issue
should b something that is a
general issue or concern in

against: pollution/environmental
concerns, abortion rights, prolife, racism, big government,
homelessness, AIDS, religious
wars, poverty, verbal abuse,
bullying, depression, teen
suicide, discrimination, gay
rights…What do you CARE
about? Talk to people- has
anyone in your family been
affected by any of these? How?
Why? How did it affect them?
