can someone help me find points,examples, current event topics that i could make for the PRO side to this argument?

here is the topic: single issue groups (ex. right to life, NRA, NEA, Greenpeace) play a larger role in shaping public policy than they should.
 
I'd say find out info on the majority opinions on these topics and then compare it to the influence in terms of bills / laws and govt funding toward the causes.
 
For a pro debate simply argue that this country being run by a minority of special interests can not be compatable with majority rule of the country nor popular soveriegnty. Also the several groups turn the attention of the government away from getting what they are supposed to accomplish, accomplished.
 
Abortion : In the urban areas of America, particularly the hood, crime rates have actually decreased since abortion has been legalized.

NRA: Violent crime rates in major cities are on a decline, where right to carry laws are in effect.

NEA: Is this about energy? If so, the US cannot stop finding alternative sources for energy. The dependence on oil holds us hostage around the globe, and has had catastrophic effects on our ecomomy.

Greenpeace: Needs to keep the heat on. The Japanese in particular, are evil in their fishing quotas and ignore concerns about endangerment !

I'm not sure if my opinions supported or detracted from your agenda, use what you can !
