2. Discuss that volunteers answer phones, staff candidate booths, copy and distribute campaign literature, and serve as the public face of the campaign.
3. Discuss how volunteers canvass and are part of get-out-the-vote efforts.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: An ideal response will:
1. Indicate that 527 groups are created with the primary purpose of influencing electoral outcomes. They are subject to limited government regulation.
