This is because my government will be upholding for the amendment of the gun owners law owing to the recent increase in the crimes. According to CNN news, “In Texas, you do not need a permit to buy a handgun or a long gun. You also are not required to register firearms with the state, and you are not required to be licensed as an owner.” My administration will be working jointly to change and implement new regulations governing the controlling of guns and life sentencing of criminals. My government will also command death penalties to all the criminals convicted of rape, infiltration, murder, and treason.

Recently American Eagle’s lingerie brand, Aerie, completely changed their advertising campaign to AerieReal. The AerieReal campaign consists of only un-retouched and no Photoshopped models. Before the AerieReal campaign, Aerie used models that were retouched and Photoshopped to make the models appear skinner and “more attractive”. The AerieReal campaign’s focus is to defy what other lingerie brands, such as Victoria’s Secret, sell in their advertisements. Aerie is trying to challenge the message of true beauty is only if you are skinny by saying that “The real you is sexy”. Aerie is accomplishing this by changing their advertisements in the hopes that girls will grow up to be socialized with a more positive and inclusive message, defy gender roles associated with women, and lastly, confront stereotypes of white and colored women.

As a decorated combat veteran, having served 11 years, his stance on veterans and their health services upon returning from combat has a lot of credibility.

Since 1952, television has played a major role in presidential elections. Television allows candidates to reach a broad number of people, and personalities, to help push along their campaigns. Campaigns help the candidates just as much as the voters.

Political campaigns are very significant in American politics and elections. It is the period before the electorate makes political decisions in the form of elections. The attention of the citizens towards politics intensifies as the date of the elections draws near.
