• Journal – if you could register for any party, what would it be? Why? If you don’t know, what are the most important issues to you - what would your perfect party look like?

If I could register for any party, I would register independent. I have no preference for a party, so I would register this way in order to make sure that I am not voting for a party just because I am registered for them. All I would look for is how the candidates act, and I would look for their knowledge of issues in the United States and their plans to fix them.

What Is An American

An American is someone who belongs to this country - not just legally, but in efforts and spirit. An American appreciates the freedoms that come with this country as well as support its ideals and push to question the government. An American votes because they want their voice heard and an American makes sure that the right people get into office and do not become corrupt. An American has an opinion for the sake of having an idea of what they want.

Ethan's Party

Health Care
Much like Canada, Health Care should be at the forefront of budget spending. United States citizens should not have to pay for ailments in health, as well as be treated fairly. It will not be as easy to sue Doctors for malpractice as it is now, because this party promises the regular testing of Doctor's practices to ensure proper procedures.

Abortion
Abortion has constantly been a hot topic, but there is only one logical answer. It should be the choice of every woman to decide what their future should be. Abortion will be allowed for individuals who choose, as well as giving the freedom to minors to perform an abortion with parent notification. Additionally, aborted fetuses will have their stem cells used for stem cell developement and research.

LGBT
It is not the responsibility of citizens to determine what sexuality and preference is acceptable. Each citizen of the United States will have the opportunity to come up with an individualized opinion of their own sexual and physical preference.

Education
Next to Health Care, Education is extremely important. The No Child Left Behind Act needs to be eliminated from the governmental system, and a new plan that favors more creative subjects such as Art and Music will have increased funding to allow for more developement. Schools will have one of the largest budgets out of any government funded building and more stress will be put on properly treating teachers and giving benefits with their employment.
