Grassroots efforts influence in legislature.

Answer the following 3 questions with 1 paragraph each. The only sources to use is the website the instructor provided and the text book for the class but the text book is quoted in the text. The answers have to mention something specific that is in the article to back up the answer provided.
The Texas Medical Association represents the state’s doctors before the state government, especially the legislature. On its website, the TMA discusses how grassroots action can help promote the interests of the medical profession in the state.

Read the Grassroots page on the TMA website http://www.texmed.org/Grassroots_Issues.aspx. The TMA also has pages that discuss their “First Tuesday” program http://www.texmed.org/firsttuesdays/ and give pointers on how a doctor can be an effective grassroots lobbyist to a member of the Texas legislature http://www.texmed.org/Template.aspx?id=5455.

1.
Read through the “First Tuesdays” page. According to this page, what issues are doctors worried about in the 2013 session of the legislature? According to the page, how can the grassroots efforts of doctors help influence the legislature on these issues?

2.
The TMA holds lobby days in which large numbers of doctors and medical students show up at the state capitol. Why do you think that the TMA wants to focus their efforts on a few specific days? Why is this an effective strategy for an interest group?

3.
Your textbook identifies TMA as a “professional group” that “represents the interests of the medical community in state government.” The TMA has professional lobbyists whose job it is to influence the legislature. Why do you think that the TMA emphasizes grassroots lobbying as a supplement to their professional efforts?

Analyze what it is meant by economic impact and what benefits it brings in terms of construction, employment, supply chains, local income, and new events.

Essay 1. Week 2 (Due March 15th)
Arguments made about the economic benefits the development that will affect the local community justify the financing of many sport facilities. During a time of global recession when there is a proven logic for governments to spend their way out of financial trouble, the expenditure on sports facilities and supporting infrastructure can be considered a financial lifeline contributing to bringing the economy out of recession rather than an expensive luxury.
Directions:
1. Given the claimed benefits of investing in sports facilities, find an economic impact analysis or report for a sport facility. (Do not use the ones provided in Module Resources, but those can be used as examples.)
2. Analyze what it is meant by economic impact and what benefits it brings in terms of construction, employment, supply chains, local income, and new events.
3. In addition, explain how to ensure a transparent audit trail of how the economic impact has been derived and what its key drivers are.
