Our country making an investment in higher education for all who desire to obtain it will pay off many times more than we can even imagine. The focal point must not only be on today, but we have to look into the future of our country and the hands it will lie in.
You are going to have to make decisions regarding the war in Iraq, our nation's growing debt, gay marriages, and abortions, just to name a few. All of the decisions on these matters will impact our lives in one way or another. One of the issues facing our legislators that I feel strongly about is our country's position on capital punishment.
As we prepare to elect a new president into office, there are many different issues that you will have to deal with during your four years. Whether it be resurrecting our economy, saving people's retirements, or keeping college prices affordable, your task is difficult.
On November 4th, 2008, United States citizens will be electing a new president to lead the way of our great American made country. It is probably important now more than ever that we get the right set of political leaders to help our great country run more efficiently, and legally. What I mean by legally is our problem with illegal immigration, and how it is affecting our country in more than one way.
War...it seems like everyone has a different idea on what we need to do, but I believe we need to leave and leave soon. Should we be fighting for their freedoms?
The next generation is supposed to go to college and make this place a stronger democracy, but it's way too expensive.
Am I safe? That I don't know, anymore. When I was younger, I would go outside, and play with my friends after school, and not have to worry at all about the security of our nation, nor did I really care at the time. But now, being a first time voter in the new election year, the simple question that I always took for granted seems much more complex.
The cost of college is quickly going up and so is the price of gas. How are Americans, and more specifically, teenagers supposed to pay for it?
In small Nebraska towns from the day most kids turn sixteen, they are now expected to get a job and work throughout the rest of high school if they expect to be able to attend a school after they graduate high school. Since they have to have a job, then they need a car in order to get to their job, because the state is closing down small town schools. Once the school in a town is closed, then the town begins to die.
