How about a business case for relaxing intellectual property
   regulations? If you could put together a good persuasive speech on that
   one, I would like to see it. Or you could do a persuasive speech on the
   economic advantages of more lenient cryptographic export restrictions.

   Or you could do what I did when I had that project in school (and this
   is my personal recommendation) - blow off class to go hang out in the
   gallery of the House, get there and remember it's tourist season and
   they are rotating people through in five minute intervals, and decide
   to go downtown and get drunk. I then had to deliver a persuasive speech
   the next day on why it was more important to skip class and get drunk
   than to do assignments, which didn't impress anyone and earned me a
   failure on the assignment.

   Or you could subscribe to the speech writing mailing list (I'm sure
   there is one) and ask them.

   I can't think of a persuasive speech topic; can you think of one?
