The Need For Americans To Vote
.... who make an effort and visit the polling places as
often as humanly possible should be rewarded, maybe with something more
than an “I voted” sticker which ends up in the trash can a day later anyway.
If the government were to give a $50 tax break to everyone who voted, I
think that many more people would show up to the polls, those who had too
much to do before would suddenly have a few minutes to spare. I also think
that all polling places should replace the “I voted” stickers, with an “I
voted” stamp .....

The Transition Of Power From President To President
.... investigation committee in the Senate war checking waste and
corruption saving large amounts of money even 15 million dollars. Truman
was elected vice president to President Franklin D. Roosevelt during the
hardships in Soviet Russia.
Truman was inaugurated on April 12, 1945 taking on the largest
burden of his life and he quoted to one reporter, “I felt like the moon,
the stars, and all the planets had fallen on me.” Among these weights was
the building pressure of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor where .....

The Canadian Government
.... Commons (MPs) each
represent a Constituency. How many members in the commons depends on how
many people in Canada. MPs must be over 18, and not disqualified by law.
The House only has to meet once a year, but usually there's so much to do
they have to put in many months of work. Any MP can try to introduce a
bill, but the Cabinet usually controls the number of bills introduced. Most
bills come from the Cabinet, but the ideas can come from things like: A
senator, public servant, the media, party platform .....

time, the Bloc will work within the rules of the game to look out for
Quebec's interests in the federal parliament. Our plan for deficit
reduction will ensure more efficiency at all levels of government. The plan
we have is in three basic steps to cut $10 billion from the federal deficit
per year. 1 Our strategy is to cut and eliminate government spending and
inefficiency by about an estimated $6 billion annually, without touching

Bill Clinton's Election Will Brighten America's Future
.... Isn't protecting the freedom of future generations more
important than catering to the moneyed special interests of logging and
automobiles? Another issue Clinton will have more success in solving is
racial conflicts. As evidenced by the Los Angeles riots, racial tensions
run high in this country. Many African-Americans and Hispanics are
resentful of the white power structure, and are almost at the point of
doing something drastic to gain control. The Republican administrations
have basically ignore .....

Fascism As Opposed To Communism
.... death, a man very much the same in nature
as Hitler, Stalin, came to control the Bolsheviks and throw Russia in a
civil war in a quest for power. You now have two men of equal aspirations
soon to be in control of two very similar gove rnments. In any rise of
power, there needs to be a period of careful planning requiring much
thought. These two men had very little history with which to work with
which to model their revolutions. Times had been changing rapidly,
technological improvements in the fields of .....

Our Living Shield: The First Amendment
.... in December of 1791, the First Amendment
remained more idealistic than realistic. The First Amendment remained a
set of ideals which were not to be carried out during its first century,
then progressed to more realistic terms during its latter half of
utilization.
During the first century of the First Amendment, the First
Amendment was paid a glance by all when it came to actually carrying out
the freedoms guaranteed by this amendment. For example, in 1794,
Pennsylvanian backcountry farmer .....

Constitutional Convention: Day By Day Occurrences
.... with them the notions
which we have been privy to. One of my personal goals of this convention
is to talk freely with Ben Franklin about his ideas about government. Mr.
Franklin has traveled widely and has seen many nations. He is old and wise
and I want to talk to him before he passes away. Right now he is at the
age of 81, I think.

Recently the convention has become vexatious. The summers in this
towne are very humid. We are forced to keep the window open everywhere.

The First Amendment
.... importance to Americans.
In Langston Hughes' poem, "Freedom," he emphasizes the struggle to
enjoy the freedoms that he knows are rightfully his. He reflects the
American desire for freedom now when he says, "I do not need my freedom
when I'm dead. I cannot live on tomorrow's bread." He recognizes the need
for freedom in its entirety without compromise or fear.
I think Langston Hughes captures the essence of the American
immigrants' quest for freedom in his poem, "Freedom's Plow." He accurat .....

Different Forms Of Government

Supreme court not allowing it.
Prevailing interest of the time did not welcome the Federal
governments intervention in such places as commerce and labor relations.
Amendments allowed congress to raise taxes and opened up a wide range of
new legislation. The Great Depression and it's "New Deal" created many new
systems that were completely new at the time such as Social Security,

US Politics And Foreign Policy
.... to the Editor, Re: How would Quebec's separation affect us?
Watching the crumbling situation in Quebec, (almost crumbling
literally, due to Olympic Stadium, the billion dollar fizzle) it is
interesting to think what would happen if they did separate? Would
Canadians be in too bad a mood to negotiate with Quebec if they separated?
Question is, would they negotiate at all? If Quebec did separate, the
border ramifications would be just astronomical, trade routes would be
chopped off, and .....

it was the white mans burden to educate the people of the underdeveloped world,
spread the customs of what they perceived was a superior western culture, and to
convert people to Christianity, since it was believed that the souls of the non-
