How about The Natural Superiority of Women over Men? No kidding...I am not a women's libber either!  I did a speech on this topic in college years ago and received an A. You research the different diseases men get, stress factors, genetic problems such as Hemophilia, webbed feet, etc. Just a thought. No offense to any men here at all....Men are Wonderful!!!

How about the Immigration issue or global warming?\nBoth are highly controversial issues.

illegal immigration\nembryonic stem cell research and use\nenergy (oil drilling in ANWR, foreign dependency, alternative sources)\nmedication use (for instance, drugs should/should not be used to treat depression because...)\nvaccinations\nwhat should be taught in public schools about a topic (such as sex and religion)\nshould parents know when kids go on birth control\ndrug advertisements (should/should not be used, may alter what doctors/patients think/choose, etc.)\norgan donation\nanother idea is to pick a law and say whether it's good/bad & why, should it change, etc.\nmake sure the topic you choose is age and school appropriate (for instance, if you're 11, talking about birth control and sex might not be the best choice)

Wow where do you want to start.\nFor or against cloning, space exploration, space colonies,\nstem cell research, implanting people with computer chips,\nusing more people for lab studies, \nAny one of those could explode into 4or 5 diffent possible persuasive speeches.

I think the first poster gave a great suggestion.  Here are a few more ideas:  \n\nLet me make your money talk.\n\nTime is money.\n\nMoney is scarce so let me take care of yours.\n\nAnd a few links that may help.  Good luck with your campaign.

Anything that has to do with politics or religions will be a good topic, but becareful these topics can turn into anger and violence.  \n\nA good topic should be one that people usually have strong and mixed opinions on.

Education , Environment , National Unity , Patriotism , Family Planning, Female Foeticide , etc. are good topics for writing slogans !!!\nFor example, on Environment it can be " Each One, Plant One" !!!

One way would be to make it a meta-topic:  Your topic could be propaganda, that is, persuasive speech.  Webster defines propaganda:  "1 cap: a congregation of the Roman curia having jurisdiction over missionary territories and related institutions.  2: the spreading of ideas, information or rumor for the purpose of helping or injuring an institution, a cause or a person.  3:  ideas, facts or allegations spread deliberately to further one's cause or to damage an opposing cause; also, a public action having such an effect."\n\nThe classical evil examples of propaganda are the Nazis and the Soviet Union.  Both have been successfully defeated, in part by propaganda against them.  In the end, it means the effort to change the minds or the publicly expressed beliefs of the public; to influence for one's own purposes.  For good or ill, though that lack of respect for the will of the individual, and for honest discussion and discourse, would imply it is inevitably evil, if sometimes necessary.\n\nHow's that for a topic?

You could always pull some topics from whats happening in the world today. You could also tackle topics that are controversial. I think one topic that might be interesting is "How liberal is the media".\n\nBeing that you are interested in Conservative Journalism you may want to read "Letters to a Young Conservative" by Dinesh D'Souza. You can find it at amazon.com or your local library may have it.\n\nGood luck with your endeavor!

Any controversial political issue is a good topic for a persuasive speech.  Some good topics are gun control, illegal immigration, gay marriage, universal health care, drug policy and affirmative action.  Choose a topic and decide what position you want to take.  A good website where you can research numerous political issues is http://www.politics1.com  They've got most of the major issues there and links to pro and con websites.
