It's Your Child; You Already Made The Choice by Lizzie M.

Why is it in America we break for animals running across the road, we save the seals, and we even protect the whales, but we murder our own unborn children? Is abortion always wrong or are there certain circumstances where it is considered ethical? There are many different outlooks on this topic.

Issues: Abortion
One Voice Ready for Change by Sarah V.

The new president faces a very arduous task. Of the issues that need to be tackled include: the rising cost of college, the job market and economy, foreign affairs, legalization of gay marriage, and the current state of our health system. The biggest issue in my essay is the health system. Prices are outrageous. The mental health care system is also inadequate.

Issues: Gay Marriage, Health
The Ball is in Your Court by Sean M.

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.

You Get Out of It, What You Put Into It by Anthony B.

As a student in a small town, nestled in the Midwest, life is relatively good. A good community, strong ethics and values, and a humbling sense that your education is top grade. "You get out of it, what you put into it," is the classic teacher to student speech regardless of where you are in the United States.

The Future Success of Our Country Starts With the Decisions Made Today by Ashlyn L.

There are many major issues that need attention within our country and as president, you really have your work cut out for you. Although there are other important issues, I would like to voice my opinion on the issues that are quickly becoming more meaningful to me as I consider a career in the medical field. The rising cost of college and keeping the health care system private are major issues that must be addressed.

Issues: College, Health Care
Are They Knowledgeable? by Abby G.

The world has changed so much over the years. Certain things that weren't accepted years ago, such as sex out of marriage, are now being loosely discussed as if it is just a way of life. We need to educate young people about having sex and the effects it may have on them and the rest of their lives.

Listen Up! by Linda A

Americans are facing many issues and we need the President's help to get us on the right track to solving those problems, and being an opinionated person, I've put my two cents in on a few things.

All Eyes are on You by Ashton H.

Not knowing what will happen in our society today as Americans is scary to say the least. Comparing the past to what the future could hold is frightening when you take in September 11, 2001, or October 29, 1929, into perspective. Anything can change in the time it takes to blink, and the thing that changes could change our lives forever.

A Few Questions that Needed to be Asked by Jenny P.

How many questions can we ask the future president before we sound like a broken record? I think the answer is more than a few. There are many questions that I'm finding are unanswerable by the majority of the American public, so who better to ask than the new president? I have asked some questions that have been stumping me, and I hope to gain some insight from it.

Immigration Inflation by Jon B.

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.
