The Importance of the Constitution(this post was written last year,by the way)

  The most important document in our country is,and always has been,the U.S. Constitution. I'm sure some would disagree with me,saying that it is not as important as other documents,for example,the Bible. But I believe that,if America looses the Constitution,it also looses its backbone. And what happens to people if they have no backbone? That's right-they flop here and there and everywhere! They can't find their center of gravity,and,most likely,they die. Is that really what we want for America? No! Without the Constitution,we wouldn't have our right to free speech.We couldn't say it like it is,even when our government is getting to be more corrupt every day and there seems to be nothing we can do about it! You know what? With free speech,we can do something about it-there is power in numbers. If enough people speak out,things will change. The Founding Fathers made the Constitution because they knew how important a core list of rights would be for all Americans. Some of those being rights that they did not have,being ruled by England.Those brave men spoke out against a very corrupt government system,and won. Now,I'm not trying to compare the English government in the 18th Century with 21st Century America,but there are a few similarities. For one,some believe that they do not get fair representation in our government (and they are taxed anyways).But I believe that everyone who can afford it should pay taxes,and the tax system should be more income-based.Struggling families should not be required to pay taxes-at least not as many as they sometimes have to.I think,if every person had representation in the government,this country would be a much better place. :)  Thats my opinion.

Internship

Good news everyone!!I have an internship with Dan Maffei's congressional campaign!!It feels good to finally be doing something that counts for something,but at the same time,I'm overwhelmed,because,if I dont put in enough hours of work,I could lose the position.And I dont want that to happen.Seeing as I depend on my parents driving me to Syracuse at times,I hope that the schedule makes that easy for them.And the other thing is...I actually have to talk to people.Yikes! I will get used to it,and it will be great practice for me,though.I can,and will do this!And I will do it well!!

   Hello,real world experiences!

My first Post(alternately called Ramblings)

 


    Hello,everyone!Since this is my first post,I will not be addressing a specific issue or anything.
 But yeah,I wanted to say that in this blog,anything goes!I will try not to write about anything too controversial,yet if I decide to address something such as sexuality(always from a scholarly standpoint),I expect people to not give me problems about it.
  In this blog,I may post book reviews,movie reviews,essays(very rarely),or even just a few sentences on a subject of my choice!Some days,you may even see a poem or two! :)
  So,yeah,I apologize for this first post being so awkward... :/
   Please enjoy my blog!!!

P.S.I am also taking questions from my e-mail,and giving advice through this blog!So,feel free to e-mail me! :)

   Thanks for reading this!!!!

 Much love,
