Please review the following articles and then post a paragraph of reflection on each in your blog.
1. Tax Cut: I think it's a good thing. It would help the unemployment benefits. Obama says it will help our American families and to our economic recovery. I hope that both the parties will come together to see that our Amercian families need to grow and protected.
2.Pork-filled Bill: ? The govenment should not shut down. They just need to get their act togother and see whats best for our country and try not to spend so much money.
3.Senate's War: This is sad. Many American and their families can not get off work for Christmas just so they can get in extra hours. The Republicans are stalling to keep the Senate in session on Christmas. The Senate leader says is innapropriate to wrap this up in a 2,000-page bill and try to pass it in a week before Christmas. Well i think this is a good and bad thing. It's bad because many families are going to work on Christmas but then the good is that we are still trying to get it passed.
4. Tax GOP Contenders: It's crazy on what's going on. I don't know what to say on this one. I do believe that it's bad that many Americans are suffering cause there's no jobs or they don't have much money. We don't want the Americans to pay higher taxes or to low cause we want to to have good better lives.

Legislative Preview
Take ten minutes to look over the links and then in your blog, describe what your views are on the materials that we covered. Provide a paragraph of reflection on what areas you had prior knowledge of and those that you did not.
The materials are interesting that we went over. I did not know how the bill was passed to become a law. It actually takes a while to see if it will get passed. And i did not know that there are 22 things that make to see if it will get passed. I did know that a bill is something you write or decide on your own then to see if it will pass as a law or not. In the Senate, there are 35 members and in the House Of Representatives, there are 70 members. If the bill does not go through, it goes through a veto that is sent back to the legislature and to see if they can change anything.

Chap. 7 Quiz
1. Explain the difference between hard and soft money:
Hard Money: It's money raised and spent to elect candidates for Congress and the White House.
Soft Money: They are funds given to party oranizations for such party-building activities as candidate recruitment, voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives.
2. What is the electoral process and is this something that you agree or disagree with and why?
The election law that is meant to protect the integrity of the electoral process. It has a telling effect on the outcome of elections. Congress has the power to set the time for choosing presidential electors, to set the date for casting the electoral votes, and to regulate other aspects of the election process. I agree because it's more organized and more understandable.
3. What is the difference between a closed and open primary?
Closed Primary: Is a party's nominating election in which only declared party members can vote. The party membership is established by registration.
Open Primary: Is a party's nominating election in which any qualified voter can cast a ballot. They are handed a ballot of each party holding a primary and can vote he or she chooses.
4. Explain what absentee voting is and what the positives and negative may be with regards to it:
Absentee voting is a process by which they could vote without actually going to their polling places on election day. The positives are that you can apply for a ballot some weeks before an election, then return them to the election office. It helps the disabled and those who are expected to be aways from home on election day. The negatives are that if you mail them, they can get lost in the mailing process or something else.
5. What changes do you see in the way we run elections ten years from now?
I see in running elections ten years from now is that everyone will be able to vote by some type of technology. The costs will reduce in conducting elections.
6. Explain your views on money and elections with regards the amount of money that is spent:
My views on money that is spent on the elections is crazy. We spend millions on billions of dollars for campaining and fundraising to help them to win. Still, our nation is still in debt.
7. Go to cnn.com or foxnews.com and find an article dealing with the election process. Post the article in your blog and provide your viewpoints pertaining to the article.

The taxes are guaranteed will be front and center of the debate in terms of the presidential election in 2012. High profile Republicans are already staking out their positions on the tax deal of a 13 month extension of unemployment benefits and a one year cut in the payroll tax for the employees and is estimated to cost in over two years is $900. thats crazy
