You could always take on the things that get people riled up one way or another-
1. Bans on smoking (cigarettes)- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smoking_bans_in_the_United_States
2. Change of drinking age (why can I die for my country at 18, but can't drink for it until 21 bla bla bla).
3. Prayer in public schools.
4. Affirmative Action.
I've written papers about a couple of these issues, and I can say with certainty that it's really easy to get content on these issues supporting either side.
