    This article talks about an anti-drug campaign that was imposed in 2008 and the risks of people abusing the campaign. When a similar anti-drug campaign was introduced in 2003, people were killed and many of the people that were killed were blacklisted as suspected drug dealers by the authorities.

    Website covers the laws in various countries about assisted suicide. There are also links on the left to more info. One link is about Dr. Kevorkian and what he did for the right to assisted suicide. There is another link to a letter written by an advocate for assisted suicide saying why he does not campaign for the mentally ill to have the right as well.

    A current topic since Trumps's campaign for presidency, and specifically right now with President Trump's inauguration last week, this article talks about the cost's of building a wall along the U.S./Mexico border, which would be roughly 2,000 miles in length. Trump made this promise throughout his campaign and seems to be focused on taking the steps towards this within the last week. This article talks about the cost's of building such a wall. I found it very interesting how they add up.

    I hope Trump has a large piggy-bank because I don't see where this money will come from. His presidency isn't going to be easy for him if this is how he wishes to start. We are in an age of equality and fairness. More seed opposed than for it.
  • zitlali2491 on 29 Jan 17
     
    I agree with Hailey hopefully our president has a saving account because I don't think that Mexico will pay the way for him. In my opinion Donald Trump is going to gain enemies from all over the world because he is not treating everybody the same.

    In 1970 hispanics made up 17% of Arizona residents, now they make up more than 30%. Being that is percentage dramatically increased, Senator Russell Pearce campaigned on strictor immigration policies. Which then lead to Republican Govenor Jan Brewer to sign SB1070 , that basically fosters a culture for racial profiling, but others say its necessary to crack down on illegal immigrants in the United States.

    This website highlights Amnesty International's goals and campaigns for the next couple of years. Freedom and equal rights for all, while responding to the most glaring crises. Taking injustice personal seems to be the best way to think about humanity, in my opinion.

    The Census Bureau did a Household pulse survey to see how people were doing financially in their households, and it found that LGBTQ+ people were struggling more than LGBTQ+ people were. The Human Rights Campaign stated that these were problems that already existed, but it was made worse by the COVID-19 outbreak.

    This section lists campaign contributions by Politicial Action Committees (PACs) and donations to PACs, broken down by sector, industry and unique PAC. Only groups that made contributions during the current or last two election cycles are listed here. As more money is pumped into our political system many question the integrity of our election process. This article shows the staggering amounts donated during the previous electionary cycle.

    Outside groups spend millions during an election to influence voters' decisions with dark money. The integrity of our elections and the potential for the mega rich to control what information is publicized can lean the balance of power to a few groups and their intrests.

    I remember my government teacher mentioning that's stuff like this goes on, and I think it is very wrong! It's crazy and not right to see how much money is now being spent on presidential campaigns.

    Mental health is more common than people realize. It's good to see more people advocating mental health issues in the public. It shows that you are not alone.

    I'm glad they are starting to come out with campaigns to help people understand mental illness. These issues effect so many people and they don't feel they can talk about it.
