1) No, I don't think that animals watch movies and it would be a waste of money.

1) I believe that there should be a new regulation that the polities have to take a test showing there mental stability, because they are responsible for so many lives.

1) I think that the kid should be able to wear his hair like that because he is honoring his stepbrother who is fighting for our country. I understand that the school policy says that he cant have any unusual haircut, but his is for a good reason, and by telling him he cant is crushing his dream of doing what he wants to do.

1) To reduce the early death rates I would improve the environment  in the community. Early death rates aren't necessarily because people cant buy healthy foods or afford a gym membership but because of the environment that they live in, so improving the communities would help a lot.

Yes, I agree with them raising the age to 21. This will help prevent diseases and deaths. Not only does smoking effect the person but the people around them.

1) This article talks about kids being watched on their social media

2) it doesn't because I don't put things on social media that shouldn't be there.

3) I think that there should be privacy to an extent but students do need to be watched.

1) How social media is changing the news.

2) that it engages the audience

3) yes

1) common core standards

2) how are they going to pay for it.

3) Get rid of it because it doesn't test what you actually know. Some people are good at test while others are not.

1) Lena Horne was a signer and actress. From a early age she has ambition to perform. Her family was a average middle class family. Many of her family member went to college and had degrees, but she decided to peruse her career in signing and acting. she performed in clubs, ballrooms, and night clubs. 

2) That all of her family went to college but she decided to do her own thing and sign.

1) That the government is threating to veto a bill "no child left behind"

2) I think that the no child left behind bill isn't a good idea because if the child isn't ready to move on it would be a disadvantage for them to move onto something more advanced.

3)Because it has to do weather people kids will be effected by this.

1) His new role is to compromise being that he is democrat and he is working with republicans.

2) Getting things done and being more productive.

1) I think that its great that she is the youngest Lawmaker in history.

2) I do have some concerns that she is so young being that she now has to think like a 40 some year old women or man.

3) I don't that it will hinder or help the effectiveness of law making. I think that it will be just as effective even though she is so young. I do have some concerns because she is so young because I don't believe she is a wise as someone who is much older than her.

I believe that Welfare is a great program for the people that need it, but I do believe that there needs to be stricter regulations on it. Welfare was designed for the people that were less fortunate or had a disability and couldn't work. For the people that get welfare because they don't want to work I don't believe that is right, because the people that are employed are working for the ones that aren't, just because they don't want to or its "easier". Some people really do need the extra help and welfare helps them with that, but the regulations on who gets it really needs to be stricter.

Taxes is a huge concern of mine. I don't believe that certain people should have to pay certain amount of taxes based on their income.This it to me is punishing someone for making more money. If there is going to be taxes which I believe we should have, everyone should have to pay the same amount.

I think that the cost of colleges is ridiculous. College is so expensive a lot of young adults don't go. Paying for college wouldn't be such an issue if in high school the schools did a better job of informing the students and parents about all the scholarships and grants out their. A lot of students don't know about these scholarships and end up taking out loans that put them in debt. Another issue that is have is once again if you make a certain amount of money then you cant get some of these grants that students really need. Students should be punished for their parents making more money than some others. They think that if your parents make a certain amount of money then they should be able to help you may for college when really they cant. College is important and it needs to be more affordable so people can continue their education.


I do not believe in the death penalty. There have been to many cases where the found out that the victim has been found not guilty. Also I think a lot of times I believe that they do the death penalty out of revenge. A lot of people think that there is a race issue with the death penalty, I do not believe that because most African Americans are the ones incardinated but some people believe that it is in fact a race issue.

I have never believed in abortion and I understand that people believe in pro choice and women have their rights. But my personal opinion I do not believe in it, most because it is moral thing for me. I think that there are to many options rather than aborting the baby. To many women cant have children and would be very blessed to get one from adoption.

I am a republican for many reason. One of them is I come from a republican family and have always agreed with their views. There are some things that I disagree with from the republican party but the older I get and the more informed it get about politics I believe that I am a republican.

1) Most of the runners that won were republican, and not many but some were women. The elections are important because this allows for new people to come in with new ideas and make changes. It is important for us to vote because if you feel strongly about something or someone that is voting you should put your input in because your vote might make a change.
2) I voted for harsher punishments because if the criminals knows this than they are more than likely to not commit crimes. street lights and police wont have a big as effect. I believe giving the less fortunate or the people that are out of jobs should have some benefits but only if they need them not because they are too lazy to get a job. I believe that transportation is very important and I voted on replacing  the old with the new. I voted for a new program for homeless and neglected dogs to be trained for blind people because this will help the dogs and create jobs. I decided to vote for harsher punishment for students that bring drugs into school because if the students know that they are going to get in trouble than they are more than likely not to bring them in.

1)She believe that It is her life and if she is going to live a miserable life then she should have the option to take it away.

2) Some peoples argument would be that it isn't morally right.

3) I think that if the illness is terminal then they should have the right to take their own life if it is going to be miserable. it isn't illegal to kill yourself so it shouldn't be to do it medically.

1) This article talks about the races and discusses what would have to happen in West Virginia to make it a republican state.

2) I agree.  

Bellringer 10-29-14

1) They didn't have a federal court hearing

2) Yes, I believe that they were correct in the decision that they made, because all of the evidence was there, and they had enough proof to make the decision that they did.

Bellringer 10-28-14

1) I think that these laws are insane. Laws are meant to protect our nation and these laws are a joke. I think that passing laws should be taken more serious, because obviously its not or these ridiculous laws wouldn't be passed.

Bellringer 10-27-14

1) Because they sank a ship and killed 300 people.

2) I disagree.

3) No, because if they further the investigation and find out the person was guilty then there wouldn't be anything else for them to do because they already killed the victim.
