Three Most Important Issues

1. Health Care
2. Gay Marriage
3. Offshore Drilling

1. I researched health care the pros and cons to privatized health care and public health care. After researched I found out privatized held more pros then cons. But I don't think this is the best option. However I looked into Obama's health care plan and it's reforms to the system and I think that would be the best idea instead of trying to change our health care system suddenly.

2. I'm not really into GSA and stuff like that but I think it's really unfair that they don't have the right to get married even though they're normal people. They're supposedly banning it to protect the sanctity of marriage but they allow divorce? Doesn't make sense.

3. Instead of ruining our world anymore I think we need to focus more and fixing things and finding a different soure for fuel.

why vote?

I don't think the idea of forcing people to vote is not a good idea because if people don't want to vote they're forced to and then they could make a decision on voting on someone they don't even care about. Then as a result they could elect a person not fit to run. I think voting is a privledge we don't want to make people vote if they don't want to. It wouldn't be fair to people who actually cared and took time to research for their vote to be overpowered by all the votes that were made carelessly.

Where do I see gov.

School: We have certain rules that we have to follow. Our teachers are appointed as leaders like more official and government working leaders. Also they control the funding where and when we get money. They also cut money, for example libraries funding were cut enormosly. They close early.

Work: The government controls the taxes on the money earned, they also control the breaks, it's required to take a 30 minute break, and makes rules on how many hours minors are allowed to be there on certain days.

my perfect party!

So I love the idea of the liberal party but honestly is that really going to work? I would like my party to believe in equalness and peace, give everyone the opportunity they deserve. Regarding foreign affairs we need to focus on ourselves we need to stop butting into everyone elses problems and let them fix it. You grow from your mistakes if we fix their country they won't get to go through the process of trial and error. The only thing I'm not sure about is universal health care, I don't think it would be a good idea I think the quality of health care would go down the toilet and it's not free. We will have to pay taxes so why would the people who can't afford the taxes now be able to if the taxes increase? Also I am against guns, sure people use it for safety but if you have a gun you don't know that you aren't going to be paranoid and use it. If there were no guns then people wouldn't have to worry, I just really don't like the idea of guns.

I really liked this PSA because it really got my attention; it had visual instead of just words or pictures like the two men putting rings on each other and about to kiss [showing gay marriage]. It also had a easy to understand and simple message that they just repeating so you as the audience could absorb it. I think the target audience was 18-24 because it was very visual and it gave a cool vibe and seemed it was made to keep your attention. I think the main idea of this PSA was to give you a reason for voting it's like think about what's important to you, if the Iraq war is important to you them do something about it. I think they just wanted people to really think about their reason for voting.

would i vote if i could right now?

No, I wouldn't because I'm not informed and educated enough I think. I've heard about certain things about people's views about candidates but I don't know what they stand for and that is the whole reason I would be voting for them; to find someone who represents what you want in the world. I would rather vote when I was educated and I really felt passionate or at least had a distant liking for one over the other.

what is an american?

An American is guaranteed many freedoms. We have many opportunities I think most people take advantage and take thing things we have for granted because all our alive we have never seen things differently. Therefore we are not used to working for things. I think our society is quite open to things but we can be close - minded about others; for example eating cats and dogs because we associate them as our pets. I think an American thinks their country is exceptional.
