When it comes down to asking about the U. S. national government the real question should be, where do you start when referring to the U. S. national government? Should we talk about how our country is in a debt of trillions of dollars? How there are thousands of people worrying about what there is for them to do to help support their family since there are so many people getting laid off and stock markets are on the edge of collapsing taking their retirement fund. As for others, there are others just spending thousands or even millions everyday just getting something they want and not need. How about the many soldiers losing their lives daily when they should be at home with their families watching their wife give birth to their first child or watch their child make it to playoffs in basketball. As you can figure out, there are a number of situations needing to be resolved to make the US a better place.
It is true that there should be something done about the terrorist attacks to remain free and protect our citizens but does it have to be a war.
As elections are in progress we should try our best to do what we can to help and that is by being supportive and using our civil right to vote. As time has passed, we all have seen what Senator Obama and Senator McCain had to say to help make a difference in our country. For example, detailed plans to get America’s economy back on track, making sure schools provided with a good amount of funds to make sure students have what they need to have access to an excellent education, reforming no child left behind, better health care plans that are affordable, security stance, stances on women’s issues like abortions, and many more. By knowing what our senators concerns, beliefs, and what plans they have to make a difference in our country. We can get the idea of who would be the best candidate to be our next president. In conclusion, GO VOTE! You will not regret it. It is a good feeling knowing you could have made a change in the ballots.
Blog Stage 8: Comment on a colleague's work

Spoken like someone who truly has a superficial understanding of current events. Terrorism?! Show me the last terrorist attack that happened on U.S. soil, and do not even say 9-11 because that was the biggest lie in our history. On the election, Obama and McCain are not the only people running for office. I personnally voted for Ron Paul.
I am going to be very harsh here now. Talking about No Child Left Behind for example, the grammer and sentence structure in this blog is atrocious. The author was a child in this program and we see how things played out there. I like that the author said to Go Vote, but dislike like the lack of stance on any issue. Go vote for someone you believe can run the country effectively, not just to do it.
The problems discussed in the article are problems for sure, but they do not rank in the top of the list fot things that need action. The election is important but not for the author. No stance is taken, no opinion is given, and really, I just do not see any interest in the government at all. The blog is an assignment, this is true. But the assignment is a chance to speak up about what bothers you. Instead, the author treated it like a burden and it comes off as so. Maybe this person can take a moment to actually take a look at what is around them, and formulate their own ideas, instead of telling everyone what they were told was important. Wake up my friend, or you will be taken advantage of your entire life.
