    The right to vote is one which the majority of Americans protect and hold very Valuable. Although many people do not believe that their vote will make a difference, the numbers add up and in the end, they do make a difference.

    Truuuue many younger people think their vote doesn't matter so they don't vote. And when a large amount of people believe that the numbers will show.

    About 4.7 million Americans, more than 2 percent of the adult population, are barred from voting because of a felony conviction. Also talks about how felons can apply for the right to become apart of society again and have the right to vote.

    About 2 percent of the adult population can not vote. Why is this? It is because they are felons. The right to vote should not be taken away from you if you have paid your debt to society. The rules vary from state to state. Is this law right? Shouldn't we all be able to voice our opinion?

    A voting right that Ameicans have, has become a concern. Minorities in states such as Texas and North Carolina are feeling discriminated due to changes in voting structures such as providing proper identification, purging voting rolls, and cutiing back on ealry voting.

    List of states where people with felony convinctions are barred from voting. Felon voting laws state by state and this site give a good run-down of who, what, where. It also links to major legal cases currently pending.

    This website provides a great timeline on the history of the United States in regards to voting.

    This article argues that having to drug test all jobless Americans would be too costly. It would not be the best way to deter drug use. Another effective way to put that money to good use would be to offer counseling services instead.

    There was a vote to determine weather or not welfare recipients should get drug tested. Most of the voters had voted yes.

    congress voted another time to take away funds to planned parenthood. Reimbursing members and abortion included in the plan are big reasons why.
  • stromgrend on 27 Feb 16
     
    Planned Parenthood is once again being voted on whether to stay funded or to be defunded. The house of reps is expected to pass a bill that will about 450 million out of planned parenthood. The Govt. has not funded the abortion side of planned parenthood since 1976, so some Democrats criticize them.

    I feel as though you should have to provide proof of citizenship when you show up to vote. Voting is a priveledge of American citizens and if your not a citizen you should not have the right to choose it leaders. Everyday you have people stealing social security numbers in order to get jobs so who is to say they are not voting as well?

    A bill that guaranteed equal pay between men and women was stopped by the Senate. Republicans and Democrats both had an agenda when voting. This bill will make its way back to the floor once again to be voted on once again.

    Depending on how people interpret laws, they might believe that they might have lost them but some other people are still satisfied by the fact that they still have some rights. I really like how she expressed her opinion and it really got me thinking onto how our rights might change in the future.

    WASHINGTON - House Republicans vented their rage against Planned Parenthood on Friday, voting to block all federal financing for the organization, which they accused of profiting from the sale of aborted fetuses for medical research. It was unclear, however, if the vote would mollify conservative lawmakers who have threatened to force a government shutdown over the abortion issue.
