Cynthia's Political Party

Abortions
Pro-choice. Every women will have the right to decided if she wants an abortion or not. A government shouldn't try to strip people of this right. My party will make abortion legal in every state. It keeps women safer because there will be little to no "back alley abortion" which can cause serious problems and in some cases be fatal.

Health Care
A universal health care system will be put in place. My party will promise to make health care a right not a privilege. No one should have to be stressing on how they are going to pay there medical bill. And no one should be discouraged to go to the doctor if they think something is wrong just because they don't have health care. In my party we will manage our money and not waste it on pointless wars like the current government is doing. Health care will be a top priority.

LGBT
The government will not discriminate against anyone. It will be the persons choice who they wish to date and marry. All men are created equal and will be treated equal no matter what their sexual orientation is. This government will make sure that every state has the same law when it comes to this issue.

Education
Education is another big issue. The current education system needs to be reformed. The United States is supposedly such a great country but in such a great country, how does the education system fall out of the top 10 in the world. Cuba has a better education system. (no offence to Cuba) This party will help motivate kids in school and will also make sure college is affordable. College has become a must in today's society so we need to find a way to make it more affordable so its a possibility for everyone

Top Three Issues

My top three rankings...

Environment
I think the environment should be a top priority because of the way we have mismanaged it. The environment is something that affects everyone, not only Americans. Global Warming is something that isn't slowing down, its only working quicker and we need to find a solution to the problem before its to late. I think it's sad how much damage we have done to the environment. We should be working overtime on trying to fix as much as we can to make up for all the neglect we have shown.

Health Care
Health care is another big issue. I think health care should be a right not a privilege. There are so many countries like Canada, France, Spain and Germany who all provide universal health care to their citizens. Universal health care would be a great solution to the ongoing health care problem. The number one reason why people go bankrupt is because they can't pay their medical bills. If we had universal health care people wouldn't have to worry about being able to afford a visit to the doctors and illnesses will be caught sooner, so less people will die of a preventable illness.

Homeland Security
Homeland security is another issue that shouldn't be taken lightly. I think everyone should feel safe in there country and everyone should be protected. Especially after 9/11, its crucial that we focus on keeping our country safe from more terrorist attacks. 9/11 was definitely a wake up call to our government. They need to make sure to keep us safe so that another 9/11 doesn't happen.

Federalist 10

This reading was very confusing to me. I honestly didn't get much out of it because of the vocabulary they used and the style it was written. I'm interested in what it said but i just couldn't get myself to get through it.

What makes an American?

An American is a person who has lived in the United States for a while and knows about the American culture and life style. I dont think that only white people are Americans because even white people come from different backgrounds. Diversity is what makes our country so great, we need it in order to function well. As long as you live here and are a working part of society than you are an American.

Where do I see government in my day-to-day life?

I see the government in everything. Right now I have to TV on in my room and I see the government in that because of all the censoring. The TV is a main one because so many people watch it and don't even notice that its being monitored. I also see the government in my school, because the government is funding the school. I see the government on my way to school, all the stop signs and lights are all government funded. I could see the government in a lot of things everyday and I never noticed how its in so many things.

If I could register for any party, what would it be?

If i could register for any party it would the the democratic party. I stongly believe in their ideals. I also support Obama 100 percent. I think he is the change this country needs. The most important issues to me are the war in Iraq and the Enviroment. I think the war needs to end because it has become pointless and a waste of time. I also think the enviorment is important because it affects everyone not only the United States.

Political Platform

Libretarian Party



The Libertarian way is a logically consistent approach to politics based on the moral principle of self-ownership. Each individual has the right to control his or her own body, action, speech, and property. Government's only role is to help individuals defend themselves from force and fraud.

Views on Issues

Abortion: Recognizing that abortion is a sensitive issue and that people can hold good-faith views on all sides, we believe that government should be kept out of the matter, leaving the question to each person for their conscientious consideration.

Personal Relationships: Sexual orientation, preference, gender, or gender identity should have no impact on the rights of individuals by government, such as in current marriage, child custody, adoption, immigration or military service laws. Consenting adults should be free to choose their own sexual practices and personal relationships. Government does not have the authority to define, license or restrict personal relationships.

Energy and Resources: Energy is needed to fuel a modern society, government should not be subsidizing any particular form of energy. We oppose all government control of energy pricing, allocation, and production.

PSA

This PSA was made by Me, Leila and Mya

Rock The Vote PSA

This PSA was my favorite for many reasons. I really liked how the words came out and how it was the lyrics to the music. When looking at other PSA I noticed that using text on the screen was hard when the music was different but in this one the music and text fit very well together. I also think that it's upbeat and very appealing to the younger audience of voters. And Paul Van Dyk seemed very sincere in his message; it didn’t seem forced or fake

Would I Vote?

Of course, If I was 18 I would definitely register to vote. I think it's important to be an active citizen because it is your future and it will affect you. I think this election coming up is an extremely important election because there is so much on the line. There are so many issues that need to be fixed like the War in Iraq and the economy. I do think that if you are going to vote you should be at least somewhat educated on the candidates and the issues. If people dont want to take the time and really know what their voting for than they probably shouldnt be voting.
