The home page of Senator Richard Burr’s website has colorful pictures. The printing is large and easily read. The messages and menu items actually scroll across the pictures. With that said it is very distracting and over powering. It takes away from the messages and other menu items that you are trying to find when scrolling down the page. In the top left is your menu, in the top center is his calling card and to the top right is a contact tab. He has placed the title of a recent news article about a bill he helped sponsor that pass the senate and benefits his state of North Carolina. The rest of the page is press releases of things that he directly had a part of in some way. This page was too self-promoting and would have liked to seen more …show more content…
The “About” has sub menus all about him personally and what he has accomplished as a Senator. The “Contact” has different ways you can get in touch with him or receive information on what he is doing. The “Services” submenu is the different things his office can do to help you with any problems you have with a federal agency or any request you have of him, like flags, visiting DC and internships. The “Issues” submenu shows nine current issues, legislation that he has sponsored or cosponsored and his voting record for this election period. The “Press” submenu is press releases, pictures and videos of him and his newsletters. This menu is user friendly in the fact that titles are clear and if looking for something particular one could find it very easy. The one thing that was annoying is once you entered a topic you could not go back to previous page it took you all the way back to the home page so you had to enter main menu again to get back to other options. Senator Burr has nine issues that he has chosen to highlight on his website. The first being “Jobs and Opportunity”, he states that he wants more Americans to be able to find work and support their families. He feels that tax reform is how to address this issue by “closing tax loopholes, promote job creation, and make the federal tax system less burdensome on working families and small businesses”. (burr.senate.gov, 1) This is a very big issue and will take …show more content…
Needs to give the public information on what his ideas are for accomplishing this. “Veterans and Military Families” is listed next and again he states “I am committed to ensuring that these patriots and their loved ones receive the world-class health care, resources, and support they have earned in service to our country.” (burr.senate.gov, 1) but gives us no idea how he intends on doing this. There are two more issues that he has listed that are like the two above, “Fiscal Responsibility” and “Government Accountability” these of course most people are for but he list no ways in which he intends to accomplish these things. It is like saying the right things but has no way to back them up. One of the biggest issues in America today is his next issue “Health Care” which he basically degrades Obamacare and is pushing his parties Patient Care Act. It is not clear in his statement what exactly that act is other than it will be better than what we have now. Not enough information to make an informed decision on which would be more benefit other than it is his opinion that it would
The most important change he wants to make for the United States when elected president, is to give back to the children. Give more money to schools so that
Rubio says people are losing health insurance because of Obamacare. This references the Congressional Budget Office’s guess that 17 million people would lose "employer-sponsored coverage" by 2017. Rubio claims that the expansion of Medicare will help many American citizens (Rubio). But although that sounds bland, there is a very personal reason. Rubio states that Medicare paid for his father's health care while he was wrestling with the illness that killed him in 2010 (Gordon). According to Rubio, this government program had let his father die with dignity by paying for his
Lisa Desjardins, in her article, “What does Bernie Sanders believe? Where the Candidate Stands on 10 Issues” (PBS,org, April 30, 2015: 3), explains that Bernie’s healthcare system, “Medicare for All”; would be a single-payer system in which the federal and state government would provide healthcare to all Americans. Additionally, he would fund the plan with a health “premium” to be paid for by employers and individuals. Also by a new progressive income tax, raising rates for those making over $250,000. This is a good point to consider when deciding who to vote for; considering the major role health care plays in
The article illustrates that how republican candidate, Donald Trump, wants to change the aspects of health care. As mentioned in the article, Trump wants to make vast decisions on health care and wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act (ACA) (Wilensky, 2016). The Affordable Care Act was created in order to help individuals obtain insurance. The Affordable Care Act was created during Obama’s presidency and is a part of Obamacare. If Trump is elected, he wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which can cause a variety of issues for those individuals who depend on it. There has also been a discussion about raising the Medicare eligibility age of 67, which would make it difficult for individuals who need the help before the age of 67. Individuals rely on the Affordable Care Act and Medicare because it allows them to have access to the
ing perplexing questions concerning the law of treason, was the more vexatious to Marshall for reopening the quarrel between the Jefferson administration and the federal judiciary, as played out earlier in the controversy over Marbury v. Madison in 1803 and the impeachment of Justice Samuel Chase in 1805. No one was more fully attuned to the awkward dilemma he faced in conducting this high-profile case. To maintain a posture of strict judicial impartiality was a duty that was at once imperative and exceedingly difficult to fulfill in the highly charged political atmosphere of the time.
What is the DACA? Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals was an American movement arrangement that permitted a few people who entered the nation as minors, and had either entered or stayed in the nation illicitly, to get a sustainable two-year time of conceded activity from expelling and to be qualified for a work allow.
Health Care upsets me greatly. He encouraged reform of health care by talking about China improving its economy, which is… not really happening. I feel like he never really answered any objections about the bill and just stated the benefits that the Democratic Party has been hawking the entire time. I feel like nothing is really being offered by the Democratic Party in response to the Republican assault on the bill, just more and more complaints about the Republican complaints. The fact that the Democrats are saying the Republicans aren’t providing suggestions as they lock the Republicans out of the discussion stages of the bill. Health Care absolutely needs to be fixed, but I don’t think that what the Democrats have should be implemented this quickly. Why not start with the necessities like malpractice reform and no denial for customers with the money and then build up to the free government healthcare for everyone?
It is important to take caution when addressing a topic of high controversy, such as racism in our society as compared to racism in societies from hundreds of years ago. Arguments may stem from a simple comparison of the two separate time periods, with some defending the behaviors of the past, while others claim there is no excuse, whatever the year may be, to discriminate against another race. A commonly utilized source for either side of this argument is highly acclaimed literature involving the topic of race, such as Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness. So much controversy surrounds this novel because of the numerous and mighty subjects it tackles, consciously or not, ranging from imperialism to race to gender
“We will pass reform that lowers cost, promotes choice, and provides coverage that every American can count on. And we will do it this year.” The preceding is a powerful statement from the newly elected President Barak Obama. One of the main aspects of both political campaigns was health care reform. The above quote shows passion and encouragement, but the quotes about health care do not end there. Georgian republican gubernatorial candidate and health care policy maker John Oxendine expressed: “Their proposal would virtually devastate the private healthcare sector in this country along with competition and patient choice, by replacing it with bureaucratic planning and government control. The result of this plan and its one trillion
An Obama ad campaign stated 47 million do not contain healthcare insurance. Obama’s plan solves this problem with a national healthcare system. He will make comparable rates as Americans in Congress. Small businesses will get tax credits to cover 50% of the cost of insuring their employees. Obama will make sure that healthcare insurance work for Americans, and small businesses, not drug companies. The national healthcare system will defiantly change the system for the better.
There are many similarities and differences between the Greek and Roman Empires. Their government, culture, military skills and much more can be relatively different in ways. Although, there are a few similarities as well. They both influenced each other in many ways and in distinctive aspects. I do feel as though one had a slightly greater influence than the other.
In this year’s State of the Union Address President Obama begin by outlining certain topics he considered important, but did not mention again during his address. In my opinion these were the most important of and the topics that need to resolved as soon as possible. For example, these issues were; a criminal justice reform, control of prescription drug abuse, a broken immigration system, more controlled and equal pay, higher minimum wages, more control and restriction of guns, and lastly paid leave. I feel that in order for these issues to become solved in the quickest and most efficient way possible, President Obama should have gone into greater detail on how he plans to reform.
U.S. health care reform is currently one of the most heavily discussed topics in health discourse and politics. After former President Clinton’s failed attempt at health care reform in the mid-1990s, the Bush administration showed no serious efforts at achieving universal health coverage for the millions of uninsured Americans. With Barack Obama as the current U.S. President, health care reform is once again a top priority. President Obama has made a promise to “provide affordable, comprehensive, and portable health coverage for all Americans…” by the end of his first term (Barackobama.com). The heated debate between the two major political parties over health care reform revolves around how to pay for it and more importantly, whether it
I feel like Aaron Burr advice was good advice but at certain times it wasn't. Aaron Burr fee advice was ”Talk less, Smile more Don't let them know what you're against or what for and Fools who run their mouth wined off dead” which I feel was good advice for when you're starting off but he became more known I feel like at times Hamilton did it right with talking more because he let the people know what change he could make. I do agree with smile more because people feel more welcome and trusted and show a better attitude which Hamilton needed any type of star the could get when he began. I did not agree all the time with “Don’t let them know what you’re against or what for because I feel like when you are a leader taking a stand, I feel
This is a simple, but well put together site. A simple nav-bar sits in the header on the right-hand side while the company logo graces the left. The welcome page consists of a transparent image with a by-line. It invites you to either play the trailer movie or scroll down. Below are images to click to find out more about the individuals in the picture. Because the nav-bar is at the top it is easy to go from one page to another, thereby allowing you to find the contact information, the about, and the stories. I would say the only thing that I think is redundant on the site, is the fact that they have a stories tab and an explore tab, both of which does the same thing. Eliminating one of them would stream line the site.
