The whole purpose of this website is to inform people of each requirement that is needed for a young person to receive the benefits of the DREAM act. Some of these requirements include being in the United States for at least 5 years without leaving. This bill does not guarantee them citizenship right away but what it does is it lets them stay in the United States if they agree to either join the U.S military or attend college. Mostly all illegal immigrant students want to do both so it benefits them in many ways, since it is already in their minds.

It's frightening to listen to our governor talk about this bill. Scary!

These law was passed in taxes stating that 24 hours before having an abortion and sonograms(ultrasound). And the doctor is require to give a description of the sonogram. People that are against these say that its to much emotional problems for the person that has made the decision.

Last week, if you squinted your eyes and tilted your head a little bit to the right, you might have thought America had magically traveled back in time to the 1950s (or 1850s). The recent shift in the political conversation to contraception has been not only surprising but, for many, downright disturbing (bone-chilling, WTF, "what kind of documentation do I need to move to Canada?" This article explores the hidden issue of birth control. What started out innocent enough allowing certain institutions to not participate in providing birth control for their employees has turned into a debate on whether women deserve it or not. Taking birth control does not promote promiscious activities and it is used for other means other than preventing pregnancy.

Arizona's new immigration law signed into effect by Gov. Jan Brewer. Will all dark skinned people with Latino/Mexican/Hispanic features have to carry proof of citizenship for fear of being stopped? That notion paints a scary picture and it comes down to where law enforcement offciers will draw the line.

We have all heard about "Obamacare". Here's a look at what the arguments are all about. Is the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act unconstitutional or lawful? Can the government force every legal citizen to buy insurance? Or does that over-step the rights of its very citizens? It seems, the answer lies in interpretation.

Slate publishes an article discussing the usage of contraception in America. The governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, states that women care as much about the issue of contraception as men do. Political science shows that there is not much of a difference in view points when comparing men and women.

This article is pretty Lengthy. It discusses different views and reasonings to be pro choice on the topic of abortion. It talks about avaoiding abortion and the personal aspects of it.

"Washington state regulators have warned a Roman Catholic bishop that his diocese risks running afoul of state campaign finance laws if he follows through with a planned fund-raising effort opposing same-sex marriage on the November ballot."

The topic has been a big debate for sometime. Obama even has a say on the topic, but does it scare other politicians, yes it does. If we have the freedom of religion why can't we have the freedom of marriage, after all in most cases marriage is a religious ceremony

NSA was found that they have been overstepping the boundaries imposed on them. Obama defends them saying it was unintentional and congress was fully informed.

The article is very generic and does not go into all the questions asked in the survey. Still intresting to see how people view their states.

I think this is a good articel. It shows what people think of the states they live in. Very opinionated people I must say.

Arizona Law - Illegal immigration is still in controversy on how Law Enforcement will conduct proper immigration stauts checks. Having the proper procedures in place can elimanate other legal matters concerning racing profiling.

Arizona immigration laws have consistently supported racial profiling and make it difficult for legal Latinos to avoid being harassed, interrogated and detained unlawfully. State laws should be fair and adhere with constitutional freedoms afforded all citizens. If you're an American citizen, you're afforded the same rights as other citizens and should not be detained unlawfully because you "look like an immigrant". This is where Arizona crosses the line with it's immigration laws.

I understand how these immigration laws here in Arizona can make people feel, however i feel like if i have nothing to hide whats the problem. I still don't like the fact that it makes it so easy for police to racial profile because its almost insulting to get pulled over for no reason except skin color. I have seen cops pull people over just for skin color, especially in the northern part of Arizona and its wrong.

This article talks about California passing new regulation on gun control. It touches on if it is illegal to ban certain guns since in infringes on the second amendment.

This article discusses new gun control measures that have been signed into effect. It discusses the delay in legislation approval by Congress and President Obama taking action to get measures I place. Opinions of the NRA and other sources are provided.

I feel a lot of deja vu reading this article.It's the same old song and dance and none of them have learned that as United States citizens, we like our guns; and we will not be separated from them. Criminals do not follow laws, more gun control is useless without reinforcing the statutes already in place.

Most republicans' are not responding to the bill. Obama said the Eight bill would pass, but only if the democratic would vote.

We need to work hard to keep our religious freedom. Most religious organizations are required by the Department of Human Services to provide contraceptive coverage in employee health care plans. A lot of government contracts have been lost due to religious organizations refusal to place children with same-sex couples.

I agree we need to continually fight for our religious freedoms.

New York Times criticizes Arizona's new strict law that aims to identify, prosecute and deport illegal immigrants. The woman responsible for this ban is Arizona State Governor Jan Brewer.

The move unleashed immediate protests and reignited the divisive battle over immigration reform nationally. Even before she signed the bill at an afternoon news conference here, strongly criticized it. Speaking at a naturalization ceremony for 24 active-duty service members in the Rose Garden, he called for a federal overhaul of immigration laws, which Congressional leaders signaled they were preparing to take up soon, to avoid "irresponsibility by others."
