Policy issues

I think that environment, and equal treatment for all is what I want the most. I want the environment tone treated nicely and kept clean, no polluting and every oil spill or such should be cleaned up as soon as possible.

Equal treatment of all people is evermore important to me. All minorities should be seen the same as these "white heterosexual Christian males" that dominate our politics and life style. Gay people should be able to marry, or at least have something simmilar to marriage. And LGBT groups and people should be seen as equal under law And in the eyes of everyone. It should be law that the word gay not be used as slang for something stupid.

And all other minorities should also have equal rights, and immigration, as long as the persons wanting to come here are good people, should be easier to get here. They want to be in the USA and they are people to.

If someone, including presidents or anyone else known by a lot of people, speaks out against or makes fun of a minority group or LGBT person or group. I will speak against them. Change.org has may petitions on there to help protect the ones being harmed. I will not sit here and tolerate someone putting down or harming someone else.

Two party system

I believe that a two party system is neither a bad nor good idea. People just feel like they have to vote for one of the two when they don't really. People should just vote for who they like best. Even if they are in a third party. If people would vote for anyone then it would add more people to the mix and probably add more different types of people into office.

You will probably not get elected if in a third party. But voting for them is not throwing it away. You are standing for hat you want and believe is right. There is never anything wrong with that unless you want something bad.

After quizzes

Hi,
I at first didn't know what the difference was between the two parties, Democrats or republicans. But now that I have found out some of th beliefs of both. I am glad to be on the democratic side with the liberals.

I find it disgusting how the standard beliefs for the republicans towards gays are as bad as they are. And I think our world and society needs to be changed so all types of people are accepted equally and peacefully.

All my quizzes pointed in the same direction, liberal. One of them said anarchy communistic. But I think people should be able to be different and should have a government.

I think my favorite will always be the one in class, but all quizzes give a good understanding of the thing being tested.

Political party's

I do not really know much when it comes to political parties. So I have no answer to any of the questions.

I want a president and party that supports gay and LGBT rights. And also supports environmental and green stuff to help the environment. I also want them to support animal rights. Anything that could help anything in the world.

It would be very nice to achieve marriage equality in this country, all people are equal and so they all deserve equal rights.

Jury

I think that it should be an unanimous vote between the jury.in a case like in twelve angry men, a less than unanimous vote would have ment death for the person who was actually not guilty.

Cell phones should be taken awat also. As to not cloud the jury's mind. But in instances where they need to know something, like how long it would take for a car to get somewhere. Research should be allowed.

PorK

"pork" is a name people have given to different investments the government has made towards stuff that is plain stupid or deemed worthless by the viewers. It upsets the people who deemed it worthless or stupid because they simply don't agree with it. Now some of the stuff is just
Lain worthless to almost everyone, but some of it I like and think was worth it. Like building the rainforest indoors, now at least some animals and p,ants won't go completely extinct. I don't agree with ones like how they are building the road for no reason with nine million dollars, or where they are funding companies with our tax dollars. But the politicions might argue that they need to please everyone.

(only first video worked, couldn't watch rest)

Filibusters

A filibuster is when a debtor refuses to yield to another.

They could be a positive thing when used like in the movie we watched in class. During something very important.

It is bad when used by a law breaker, or political machine. Or if used against a group of people.

I support keeping filibusters, because they have been around a long time. And in times of need that people would use stuff against you. They could also help stop a bil that would be bad to have.
