Ohio Senator Reflection

This is my story. I was raised as a poor black child in Ohio. It was a great time to be alive. I had several parents and several siblings. We all played the guitar and ate chocolate sundaes. I want to go back to simpler times. My grades were good. I was on the football team. My teachers found me to be funny and inquizitive.

Senator Felix Grundy of Kentucky urged for war in his appeal to the Speaker in 1811 because he believed that the British were infringing on the maritime rights of Americans, suddenly and without reason. He believed it was a violation of personal liberty that the government should not stand for. On the opposition, Senator John Randolph of Virginia opposed the war and he did not believe Grundy 's appeal. In his appeal to the Speaker in 1811, he said that the war was not for maritime rights, but for greed. He believed those in favor of the war saw land they could win from the war and wanted to claim it as their own. He states in his speech that he did not hear a call for rights, but a chant for Canadian lands. In the chance that I had been a part of the decision of going to war with Britain, I would have supported the war. Although nobody doubted British actions against American shipping as crimes, the motives of the War Hawks were continually questioned. The War Hawks are a group of young congressmen that were the new generation of political leaders. They are ardent nationalists that called for war with Britain. They spoke of defending honor against British insults and in support of the annexation of Canada and the conquest of Florida, which is owned by the British ally, Spain (Foner 242). Despite their concentration on practical goals, like the expansion of America, these young men upheld principles of free trade and wanted to liberate the United States from European

Texas Senate District 25 is currently occupied by incumbent Donna Campbell. This district is considered one of most heavily gerrymandered districts in Texas, stretching from north San Antonio to South Austin. Campbell has held office since 2012 after defeating the incumbent in a runoff primary race. Though Campbell won the general election in 2012 by 31.2% points and 2014 by 33.4%, there is an expected GOP backlash that could bring her large wins to something reachable by Edward Kling. Since this is a nonpresidential election Steven Kling would need around 120,000 votes, depending on turnout, to reach 51% and take the district.

The Ohio statehouse had multiple people contribute to its construction; there were numerous architects and several others. In 1838 there was a design competition held by the government to decide how the building would be built. Many entries were received from the public around the county, and most were either architects or artists. The winner was Henry Walter from Cincinnati while second place went to Martin E. Thompson from New York and third place went to Thomas Cole who was a landscape painter. The design of the statehouse was centered around all three of the winners, and Alexander Jackson Davis, an architectural consultant, drew the design. The construction of the statehouse began on July 4, 1839, and 22 years later the structure was completed in 1861.

After taking the quiz I have come to the conclusion that I lean more towards the Republican Party than the Democratic Party. My best fit according to the quiz was that I am a Young Outsider. According to the quiz, Young Outsiders generally express unfavorable opinions of both major parties and are largely skeptical of activist government, as a majority views government as wasteful and inefficient. Also, many Young Outsiders come from the two conservative typology groups Steadfast Conservatives and Business Conservatives in their support for the environment and many liberal social policies according to the quiz. I agree with the label of a Young Outsider to an extent because I think that I do lean more towards the Republican Party, but there are also views that I have which are unfavorable of both parties. When taking this quiz, I did realize that I share mixed views from both parties, but it only helped to confirm my speculation that I was not really one side or the other.

Barbara Boxer stated, “even if I have to stand alone, I will not be afraid to stand alone. I’m going to fight for you. I’m going to fight for what’s right.” She is a member of the Democratic Party. Barbara Boxer, the United States Senator for California, is a very strident, harsh person. However, her aggressive nature and strong voice as a Senate are qualities necessary to fight for her view on environmental issues, feminisms, immigration policy, and the U.S. involvement in Iran.

In the United States government, the legislative branch is a very complex system. Congress was made into a bicameral, or two-house system. The framers of the constitution did this because they believed that it was in the best interest of this new nation. These two separate houses would help aid the democratic process and make the system less corrupt and fair for all the states.

Christopher James Christie is an American politician, served as U.S Attorney from 2002-2008, a member of Republican Party, Husband, and Father. Christie was also the fifty fifth governor of New Jersey in 2009 and was re-elected in 2013; his term ends January 16th, 2018. When reading up on everything that Chris Christie wants to do and believes in, I Believe that he is a good voice for politics because he wants to help. He notices somethings that are happening in the world today that maybe holding certain people back from being as successful as they could be and he wants to assist the best way that he can. The things that he has discussed are things that many people go through every day and many people would agree with the changes that he wants to make happen.

Sherman Alexie’s short story, “The Senator’s Son”, was published in his 2009 book, War Dances. The emotional piece follows William, the son of a Republican U.S. Senator, after he and his friends beat up his former best friend who had come out to him as gay while they were in high school. This story deals with prejudice, forgiveness, and highlights that one’s political ideology can shape their perception of the world and those around them. After William begs Jeremy, the former best friend he had abused, not to go the press and ruin his father’s career due to his violent actions, Jeremy responds with forgiveness, claiming that he would not tell anyone because he is a Republican and believes that William’s father has a great political career

Thank you for your time. This trial is one of defamation, which means that the plaintiff had to prove Andy Rather and CAT News made false, factual statements with malice intent that were unfavorable to former governor Pat Justice and caused him/her to lose the election. While, throughout this trial, we have been able to understand that the published statements from CAT News were false, our witnesses, Cameron Carter and Reese Murphy have proved that these statements were not published with malice and caused no actual damages to Pat Justice’s Career. The Ohio Constitution protects freedom of speech, in cases of opinion. In Andy Rather’s interview with CAT News, it is very clear that he was simply stating his opinion on what had happened at Trillium,

At the same time, Hassan also has a tight race based on the polls. The weakness of Hassan is that the Republicans blasted him for vetoing the bill of the state budget, forcing the rare standoff for three months. Thus, this race is very vital, and every group should continue with the campaign to the Election Day since it is still not easy to decide who will win (Rating Change, 2016). It will also give the voters the quiet time of coming up with the best candidate who can fit the senatorial

Senator Carter Glass's proposal, incorporated in the Banking Act of 1933 caused a greater stir. Glass proposed to separate investment from commercial banking. Glass wanted to stop the misuse of depositors' funds to acquire and trade stocks and bonds including stocks in the institution itself. Additionally, there was evidence that these banks had made more than $8 billion in loans to brokers and dealers in the 1920s which fueling stock market speculation. Major banks had also compromised their integrity as they attempted to lure their own customers to invest in the banks' securities holdings. When a bank uses most of its depositors' funds to invest in stocks and bonds, liquid cash available to its depositors becomes scarce. Savings and other

As I observed in the hall, I have come to know and realize that the works of our senators is not that easy as we think because all of the work comes in complex process just like how a proposed bill will be approved, and will have it debating inside the senate that gives us huge impacts wherein it was made for the sake of the state or country. It also made me feel lucky to get to be approved by the leaders of our country to join them during the session despite of our age, and also in so many people we are the one that are given the opportunity to participate in that

The research paper was our last essay in this English course, and the last piece for our final portfolio. This was my first research paper since I graduated high school, and I tried to choose a subject that I’m deeply interested in so that it would be interesting for me to research. The presidency election of 2016 has been very controversial, and I felt very passionate about researching what other people had to say and if their thoughts were different than mine. My goal with this paper was to see and record the point of view of different races, and cultures to write a fair essay for everyone.
