Theres been a murder

On Sunday, in the East New York section of brooklyn. An eleven year old girl was murdered allegedly by her mother. This came as no surprise to the friends of the family who clim that the mother dispised anything that had to do wiht her ex-husband. This really disturbed me because this happend around where I live. This is not the first case and is probly not the last case of fatal chid abuse. ACS is slacking when it comes to identifying what child is desperatly in need of attention. Granted they have saved many childrens lives but this new influx of fatalities of children in abusive relationships. I think that there can be alot more that can be done to lessen the amount of childern suffering and waiting for releif.

Parental Influence

Alot of people's votes are being swayed, not by the media but by their parents. People take their parents opinion into consideration because they feel that their parents have seen more and know more about how things were back in the day and how it should be now. For younger voters parents opinion is mostly all they trust. There needs to be a more understandable source available for younger voters who might not understand all of thetecnical terms assotialed with the campaign.

The Color of the Campaign

One things that has been on many peoples minds is race because this has been the first time a black man has come this far in a presidential race. Alot of people say that race is not a big factor but to some, its bigger than the actual issues. Alot of people's votes are swayed because of Obama's race. He can have anserws for evey crisis going on in America and people will refuse to vote for him just for the simple fact that he is a black man. People try to say it doesn't matter but deep inside, we all know it does.

Abortion of the real issues

This upcomming presidential election has been one of our most controversial in many years. There are many issues that affect citizens todaybut as a teenager not able to vote I feel that I have little say in the future, especially the issues that i feel very strongly about. One of those issues are abortion. I am pro life as is McCain, Obama is pro choice. This strongly affects my choice as to who would be a better leader for our country. Abortion affects not only the people old enough to vote, but also young teens who sometimes feel that they have no real say in the government. I would love to hear more about their veiws on about this sensitive subject.
