They sought to convince voters that prenatal care and other…

Why should assault rifles be banned? why should assault rifles be banned. They are made to get more rounds off at a time. They are not the cause of all murders they are also used to do sport shooting. Assault rifles should not be banned because they are used for sport shooting and are used to show off. In my opinion i don't think they should because they're used for more than just killing and murders and war. Nationally assault weapons were used in 1.4 percent of crimes…

would state something along the lines that Jefferson was a man of the people. Jefferson preferred to be in front of the people unlike Washington and the federalist that preferred to work behind locked door away from the public.

Undoubtedly, The Scottish Nationalist Party today dominates Scottish Politics in an impressive, and to some, even unthinkable way when compared to the party’s grassroots standing a mere 10 years ago. As of 2015, the SNP party is by in large the biggest political party in Scotland in terms of membership, reporting over 112,000 members, or more than 2% of the Scottish population (Scottish Parliament, 2015). But, this domination is perhaps not much of a surprise when the parties leaders, plans and…

Since I have been there for a while, I witnessed the shifts that have taken place. From the first rearrangement of desks into cubicles to the first firing of a staff member, I watched GirlForward slowly move away from grassroots to a corporate style climate. Throughout the shifts, I reflected on my role and shifted my own concept of what my role at GirlForward was. When I started, I was one of many interns and I was the odd one out with a special project. The other interns…

few suggestions such as referendums to get bills posed. Our system is broke when the lobbyists have more voice in persuading our elected officials than we do.

No major…
