    According to CRP executive director Sheila Krumholz, they need all that money to be able to "run financially viable campaigns". It seems like elections are all congress and all other politicians care about.

    "An important issue in the Muslim world is how women should dress in public." Not specifically government topic, but if we consider our freedoms compared with countries throughout the world, these comparisons are interesting!

    I like this idea because Athletes should be having good grades. Other cities and states should take this idea!

    i think that every school should do this because sports is just an activity and if the students don't have good grades then they should not be able to play

    Just interesting. Iowa and many other states are at $7.25 per hour which is the federal minimum. The highest is Washington with $9.19 per hour.

    I would love for minimum wage to be increased..but honestly I'm scared for other things to be increased also.

    Two boys were convicted of a murder charge, but were they really the killers? The case is full of problems, holes, and errors made by the detective on the case.
  • jamie003 on 05 Dec 13
     
    The detective on the case is probably doing all this protect the real killers. Its abuse of power yet again.

    Detectives shouldn't have the right to just arrest whomever without concrete evidence.

    Isn't this lovely? In California, some folks in California who signed up for Obamacare got their personal information (name, phone #, etc.) shared with insurance agents and people like that WITHOUT their consent... Isn't this a breach of privacy? Let's hear what y'all think!

    The minimum wage shouldn't be raised because giving everyone more money is the same as not giving anyone anything.

    i like that the minimum wage is being brought up
  • Daniel Bonner on 04 Dec 13
     
    I don't know if moving Minimum Wage up is a good idea because than the prices of everything will go up. But if they keep moving the Wage up and things stay the same price than thats a good idea.
  • jsteenbock23 on 04 Dec 13
     
    If we increase the minimum wage then the cost of living will go up, taxes, and businesses will be able to increase their prices.
  • deahnna on 05 Dec 13
     
    There's pros and cons to moving minimum wage up. The cost of living, taxes, and products will go up, because they have to pay people more to make the goods or provide the services. It's a tricky situation, but it really wont change much.
  • Pedro Valdez on 05 Dec 13
     
    Probably not a good idea because then businesses would be able to increase the price on almost everything. But if everything stays the way it is and nothing but the minimum wage goes up it would be fine.
  • jkeller068 on 05 Dec 13
     
    It's not worth It..because everything else will go up to match the new wages..so it would be as if nothing happened.
  • nlarsen15 on 06 Dec 13
     
    Isn't this borderline inflation? More money given making the value go down and (as the dude above me) everyone else will raise the wages of everything else?
