Federal holidays in the United States

any of the other candidates will do. If you want the United States to return to being a free and independent nation able to chart its own course in the world, choose me. If not, any of the others will do. If you want the right to keep all your income and use it as you see fit, choose me. If not, any of the others will do. If you want to control the education of your children, choose me. But if you want your children to remain in the hands of federal bureaucrats, any of the others will do. If you…

According to Joseph Stieglitz, the United States government should offer free high school education from money collected from general tax covers that will cost $300 billion. To begin with, in the past education was free for public colleges and this is because of the Morrill Act of 1862. At the time the number students who could go to colleges and universities without paying tuition was relatively small. However, as years went by the number of students attending public colleges increased the…

The wages currently enforced by the U.S. government do not provide enough income to maintain an entire family, and therefore changes must be made to better serve these people. A family made up of a married couple and a child in the United States average an annual cost of $56,176 (Inc, 1). This number gives perspective to the huge boundaries a family in which relies on one member who only earns minimum wage. It is truly astounding that such situations exist. Furthermore, the minimum wage…

My parents were born in El Salvador and lived there until they were 17 when they decided to come live here in the United States. When they first moved here, they lived in California for 5 years and my parents worked some insufficient jobs during that time. My mother worked as a cook in a taco restaurant, at a clothing factory, and sometimes she even babysat on the side for extra money. My father on the other hand, worked only one job which was cleaning offices. Eventually, they moved here to…

priority of the federal government in negotiating with the Tribal Nations would reemerge multiple times within the century. We believe this ruling to be unfair because it further consolidate power to the federal government and greatly restricted the market for tribal land. In 1831, the Marshall Court first introduced the idea of tribal sovereignty in Cherokee Nation v. Georgia. The Cherokees argued that they were a foreign nation and the laws of Georgia did not apply to them. The federal…

created during the Reagan Administration as the first significant federal legislation designed to combat the growing threat against computer based crimes. In the 1980 's, Congress would only have the vaguest of notions how computer technology would evolve as a medium for communications and social-networking. Lawmakers, at the time, recognized the federal interest of the U.S. government was to protect computers under control of a federal entity, part of a financial institution or somehow…

military action within the bordering country. Despite their amusing depiction, Louis Dalrymple’s “School Begins” and Clifford K. Berryman’s “I’ve Had About Enough of This,” political cartoons point out the flaws of the U.S. in dealing with other nation states and racial groups during American Imperialism…

What happens when the air communication system fails and all the airplanes in the air receive misinformation? What happens when all the personal data of every single American is stolen? What happens when all the nuclear plants and the all atomic bombs control are taken by unknown individuals? What happens when all the government confidential documents are stolen without anyone notice them? Thinking about all these scenarios can remind us of sci-fi movies, but there is a good possibility that all…

“A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way.”- John C. Maxwell. You are given the key to the United States, with this key comes great power. Do you believe you would use that power to help, defend, and treat others? Or would you use it selfishly? When people are given a leadership role, it can sometimes be uncertain what can happen. For example, Adolf Hitler was a leader who many believe was the worst leader in history. He was a man who thought of himself and world…

1. In 1986, I was born in Angeles City Philippines. The City was once called “The City of Angels,” but it never turns out like that during my time, because of crimes happening left and right. 2. In 1991, I entered kindergarten in where my school is just 50 steps away from our house, but even that close I can't go all by myself to my room, I always wanted somebody to come with me and stay for a while. That’s my life for two years, and I can still remember my very first shoes, “Mighty Kid,”…
