 1.  Do you think there should be a limit on campaign contributions?  Why or Why not?
     I don't think there should be a limit because this is a personal decision for a certain person.

 2.  How does this deal with the issue of free expression that we discussed in class?
     In class we discussed that you have a right to free speech so you should be able to do what you want to.

 3.  Should a person be limited on what and where they spend their  money?
     I don't think that a person should be limited on where and what they spend their money on because it is there money and they earn it, therefore they should choose what they do with it.

 4.  If the Supreme Court agrees with the McCutcheon  how would this change political campaigning? 
     If the Supreme Court agrees with the McCutcheon this would change the political campaign by making them spend a certain amount of money on something. That would not be fair.

1.  Do you agree or disagree with changing the name?  Defend your position in one paragraph.
     This name has been the same since long ago, so why should we change it now? I think that so many people like the name now it would just be a big confusion to everyone. If the name was meant to offend someone it would have been changed a long time ago. There are people who are just trying to cause a big problem when there is really no reason too. No one is meant to be singled out on the team or being offended therefore I don't know why people make such a big deal over this.

Response to my Grandchild

Well honey, no matter what you do in life you will always make a difference. Helping someone out with there homework or helping your mom clean your room, you are making a difference. For several years Mamaw played so many sports and has helped so many people improve their game and support there decisions. Even this is making a difference in someones life. Anything as simple as picking up papers that someone has dropped or saving someone from drowning is making a difference, especially saving a life.

1.What does this say about our national security?
     This shows that we do not have the expert security that everyone says we do.

2.  Are you surprised that something like this could happen in 2013?
     I am kind of shocked that this happened because he had no ticket for the plane, he got through security and actually got into the plane. He had to be a very smart little boy for this to happen.

What information is the same, what is different?

     They are both the same because they are women that have gotten in car chases. They are different because one had a severe medical problem and the other didn't.

This article is about the government shutting down because they can't agree on a certain thing. I feel like the government should work together to solve this problem because they are leading everyone in America. They should be and act like leaders to be a role model for the rest of the nation.

Write three questions you still have about the shut down
   
     1. Why can't they just make a decision together?
   
     2. How do they have the right to just shut down?

     3. Why do we not just dismiss everything and forget about it?
