If you are lucky enough to have local democratic office holders, see whether you and your daughter can go to their office and discuss the 5 issues with them. Your daughter can take notes. If you have no elected politicians see whether you and your daughter can visit the your local democratic party chairperson.

Using Google works, but the above is better because your daughter will be talking to real political figures and getting their point of view. Even if your office holders are republicans but aren't the crazy sort, you may want to have a sit down discussion with them, just stay away from hot button issues.

Sure. Google. MineralMan Nov 2012 #1
