Blog Four...bru
Although it would be very interesting to enable the American people to know all of the government's secrets I still feel that the government has many secrets pertaining to national security that are completely necessary to keep secret. Many policies and plans that our government keeps from us are not because of shady intentions but because simply if this information were to escape into the wrong hands, It could mean terrible things for our country. These questions are far too harsh to even suspect our president of doing something illegal. WE elected this man on the premise that we will support his actions and decisions and trust that he constantly has our country's best interest and safety in mind.

Two party system
I feel the two party system has many pluses and minuses. The two party system basically makes it easier for people to elect candidates with similar views as them. People are often too lazy to research each and every topic and formulate and educated opinion on those topics and a large two party system basically make it so that people can fall intoa general opinion and view towards most topics according to their common political beliefs.
Voter registration
I think voter registration is a great part of the american electoral process. It stops people who are unaware of voting days from simply walking in a voting booth and castin their vote on topics they know nothing about. The extra twenty minutes it takes to registrate is definitely worth it for voters who have a strong opinion on the political topic they ar voting on. I also feel though, that some sort of test in order for vots to registrate seems unconstitutional and I personally do not have enough trust in voting administrators to descriminate against a cerain voting demographic in some way.

Blog Post number uno
What do you think?
1. I feel my biggest political influences at first came from my parents and my grandfather but the most influential person in relation to my political ideas is my brother. We have very similar political views and i feel this was developed because we have experienced a very similar life.
2. I feel my cultural background played the biggest role in my political views because aside from partisan views, my cultura background most directly effects my political background into more local and somewhat earlier introduced topics such as change, population interaction, and war.
Choose your own:
I do not feel that all Americans shold receive free health care because althouh there are many benefits to this such as the end to americans without health care, a government regulated system, and elimination of privatized healthcare but I feel that these positives are greatly outweighed by the heavy financial burden of this concept and also the extreme negative reaction towards this topic would be with many people in disagreeance with "socialized health care."
