Eye Opener for Change

Courageously, the 5th graders of Richard E. Byrd Community Academy have shown that you're never too young or inexperienced to start making a difference in your community. Proudly, their class website gives great detail of the young people and their mission, dedicating their time and energy in service to their school. This is a perfect example that anyone regardless of age has the power to do something positive that will make a major impact on society. These students have created a well thought out action plan to replace their old school that was falling apart. Besides, this shows a great maturity level in these kids since there are television shows to watch, video games to play, snacks to eat, who has time? In Project Citizen - A New Byrd School, these kids have decided that there’s no better time than now to take action. This should be an eye-opener and inspiration to everyone that the time has come to make our world a better place. Get inspired and get busy– you may be surprised by how good it feels!

Candidate from Scratch!

If it were possible to create a politcal candidate from scratch, rather than having to choose a candidate that really isn’t for the people. My preference would be someone that has lived on both parts of the spectrum like overcoming poverty then reaching wealth. This male liberalists would be “tall, dark and handsome” since I would be more encouraged to follow someone that is physically attractive.On the serious note, why should the people have to pay for idiots mistakes? My candidate won’t support public funds to prevent failing financial institutions like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and AIG from going bankrupt because it’s only logical not to lend money KNOWING people couldn’t pay it back. What about those who stand in line at free clinics and use the expired medicines of friends? I strongly support universal healthcare access regardless of ability to pay. Usually the people that are desperately in desire of coverage can't afford it. According to biblical days people are supposed to multiply. That’s physically impossible in same sex relationships. My candidate would support marriage between only a man and a woman. Likewise, abortion, a very difficult moral issue! A woman's decison without interference from the government, is one of the most fundamental rights we possess. However, I believe health insurance plans that cover prescription drugs should cover prescription contraceptives and we must improve access to emergency contraception. I order to regain our global competitive edge, we have to use taxes to double scientific research funding, so that we may take advantage of the enormous talent in the United States. Believe it or not, global warming is real! It’s happening now and is the result of human activities. Our oil dependency is jeopardizing our planet, the fossil fuels we burn are setting off a chain of dangerous weather patterns that could lead to global catastrophe which is why he will invest in alternative forms of energy. Despite this, we shouldn't be sending more troops to Iraq, we should be bringing them home. It's time to find an end to this war. That's why he will withdraw our troops from Iraq.
