Due: November 17th

Using the Internet, research for a minimum of 15mins- the history of the two major political parties in our government.

Report your findings for both the Republicans and the Democrats.

Then share which party you see yourself supporting in the past, present and future and why you feel you support that party or parties.
Republicans- Against aborting, for the right to bear arms, support the death penalty, open more land to hunting.

Democrats- For abortion, for the dealth penalty, for gun control.

I have always, am, and will always be a Republican unless something dramatic happens.  I am a Republican, because of my values not because someone told be to be.  I am for the death penalty and strongly against abortion.  I don't feel strongly about any issues of gun control I believe the hunters and people who own them should decide.  I am against abortion because if you don't value life what do you value?

I believe the government is taking a lot of our rights away, but some people are just to young to make decisions that could affect the rest of your life.  Like the drinking age and smoking but maybe if they were legal at a younger age there wouldn't be that want to drink or smoke because they would be legal for everyone to buy.

Election Results 2010

Take 15mins and look at the following sites and find election results.

http://foxnews.com/
http://cnn.com/

Republicans swept the elections as predicted.  Dennis Daugaard will be our next Govenor owning Scott Heidepriem. Representing District 7 House will be Spence Hawley and Scott Munsterman.  Kristi Noem will head to Washington to be our only voice in the House. I am happy with the results on Tuesday! I feel like we need to repeal 'Obamacare'.  Obama does not seem quite as happy quoting, "Republicans can take the back seat on the bus."
I was really shocked in how many govenor races went Republican in places like Florida and Maryland.  I was happy with the smoking ban being passed, even though I had mixed feelings and maybe that this initiative right would take away the owner's rights to do what they wanted in their building. The people in Washington are the ones who are either going to make the youth of todays future better or worse.  
Then give your view on the national results and the local results.  Both the candidates and the initiative measures.


Two paragraphs minimum.
