The presentation that I saw during the preparation of this discussion board post is entitled, “The 7 Baby-Steps” by Dave Ramsey. In this presentation, Dave Ramsey utilizes seven baby steps that will help individuals get out of debt and start a savings account. The question that was being answered in this research report is no matter what your income level is, Dave Ramsey will utilize your earnings in slowly chipping away at your debt. Dave Ramsey is very serious about his study and has used his teaching in his own life. Once a millionaire, Dave Ramsey had lost it all and was in crippling debt. However, using his research he developed a plan that not only allowed him to get out of debt, but to also become a millionaire once again.

Sadiksha Shrestha Professor Sherry Sharifian GOVT-2306-71001 26 Sept. 2017 I am running for Texas State Senate from District 16 for the upcoming election. For 2014 Texas State Senate election the candidates were Don Huffines and Mike Dooling. There were no representatives from my party for the election of 2014, hence this year I have decided to represent my political party to serve the people of Texas. Mike Dooling was an amazing candidate, who is a libertarian representative, but he did not appear for the general election. Don Huffines won the general election without any opposition. The map of our district was gerrymandered to benefit some special groups. For this election, I would like to stand up against Senator Huffines to

Unfortunately, Senator Markey’s memories weren’t as fond. “Growing up everyone in my town recognized the Elks lodge for their generous scholarship. It was an honor given to the top student, which my two older cousins received.” The pressure was on him as a young boy. “When the time

Floor action within the Texas senate committee is the just another passage in the legislative dynamics.Since Bill HB 1807 was reported out of the local and consent with no proposed amendments it had to undergo two more readings which can led to filibuster debate when it hits stage four of the legislative process. However this bill was fortunate enough to not become entangled into the debating process allowing immediate voting to take place that same day completing stage five. Those who watched closely to the passing of this bill was on edge since the transitional nature of Texas politics have been dominated by ideological divisions in both houses. State legislatures are notorious for wasting time on public policy that is considered frivolous in nature. Thankfully Bill HB 1807 reported out of the Senate committee on Higher Education with vote of seven Ayes and zero Nays. Since Bill HB 1807 received majority votes from both the House and the Senate the engrossing and enrolling clerk prepared a correct copy of Bill 1807 and sent it to both houses for a final read before it was signed by the presiding officers. During the last week of May the house chief clerk signs and the Senate secretary signs off of the bill turning it into an act. The vote of passage is certified and officially printed to be sent before the Texas

Zaffirini was recently re-elected in her eighth landslide victory which came out to be 68% overall. Zaffirini’s presence provides several opportunities to champion the priorities of Senatorial District 21, such as the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale, which has generated billions of dollars in economic activity for our state. As Senate Chair of the Eagle Ford Legislative Caucus, Senator Zaffirini prioritizes the district’s continued prosperity, and as Vice Chair of the Agriculture, Water & Rural Affairs Committee, she helps protect and conserve the district’s

Is a lesson for us to learn that Senator have a hard job and that society sometimes might think that passing bills is something that can be done in a minute. Overall the experiences was interesting as representing Bob Casey is somewhat challenging as it a lot that it had to be learned that consumed a lot of time. However learning about Casey was very fun to do as not only gave me the opportunity of how a senator feels but it gave me a new goal in life of pursuing more politics. Model Senate is a good idea for students because is another atmosphere where you get to visualize how laws are made, and it get us to follow rules that we learned in class but is not the same as working with them in

Day one (Thursday) was only half of the class, so it was perfect for letting us get used to using the speakers list and learning how to work and have a conversation in a mock peace committee, which was what we did.

The point of this anecdote: it’s easy for a nomination to go off the Senate rails. And in today’s dysfunctional Washington, it’s a distinct possibility. Here's why:

Part of the lobbyist, advocate's job is to go knock on a Senate's office, and demanding they need to leave their office and attend the committee hearing, because it's important they vote (this happened during Bill 5 hearing).

Student Assemblies encouraged the entire student body of an institution to gather in scheduled assemblies to discuss and vote on matters of concern.

In January 2015, a mere 11 months before ESSA’s passage, Senator Patricia Murray (D- WA) became the ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Kingdon states that the third major component of the policy stream is personnel turnover, and in the case of ESSA, Patty Murray’s presence and contributions were essential. A change in political players inevitably alters the actors participating in the policymaking process. In turn, this changes both the relationships between adversaries and their relationship to the issue at hand. Patty Murray, a former preschool teacher, stated in interviews that she was willing to work with Senator Alexander to pass education reform (Murray 2016; Kingdon 2011, 153-157). Unlike in previous compositions of the Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, in 2015, ESSA was passed thanks in part to a productive working relationship between Murray and Alexander. Senator Alexander has also noted in interviews that their collaboration was fundamental for the passage of ESSA, "Patty and I worked well together, and I took her advice on how to try to get a bipartisan bill on a very complex issue, which is something that had eluded us for the last two Congresses” (Alexander 2016). National mood, personnel change, and organizations were unified together in 2015 against NCLB and pushed meaningful action in educational

The Senator said that, “during my time, which covered 6 years, we held only a total of six days of hearings.”

The assembly that was conducted on the 23rd covered a lot of important topics that will help me at Penn State. Even though I was not able to attend the assembly, I was able to get the information from another classmate. Many significant topics were covered in the assembly such as LionPATH, Canvas, Angel, and how to update immunization records. There were also some points that could have been eliminated such as reiterating the importance of turning assignments in which should be self-explanatory to a college student and information about the payment methods for tuition was not covered in detail.
