Cyber Security 2.0 The United States is the leader of innovation, we helped create the world wide web. We have some of the best hackers in the world. That is why I don't understand why we are getting hacked by the Chinese. We have got to update our cyber security, and instead of locking up talented hackers, the United States should ask them for help. We also have to make sure that congress knows the difference between cyber security and internet innovation.
The True Impeachment I hear a lot of people say impeach the President, they say he has committed many offences. My question is what offences has he committed. I think the true President that should have been impeached was Bush, he took us to war under false pretenses, and many Americans died under his watch.
Campaign Finance Reform Ever since the Supreme court made the corporations people, this country has seen are political country turn into a buyout fest. We find candidates and throw a lot of money to their super pacs, which the court considers people.In order for this democracy to survive we have to take corporations out of voting.

Preach on Jon Stewart Jon Stewart took Senator McCain to task on his "Country First" slogan. Sighting the hypocrisy he is throwing at Chuck Hagel on Benghazi which he had nothing to do with. Here is the video.
Conservative Take-downs Watching videos where there is a good debate always entices me. But some of this videos show how ignorant some people are.
The New Racial Profiling DACA stands for "deffered action of childhood arrivals" President Obama passed this executive order so that young kids who were brought by no fault of their own would not be deported. Many states have started to label some of this kids by giving them different looking licenses. North Carolina is leading the way by giving pink licenses that pretty much describe the person as illegal. I think the Dreamers should stay strong, like Martin Luther King say "I have seen the Promised Land" so Dreamers should stay strong and keep fighting on.

Big Government vs Small Government Big government has always been a scrutiny for Republicans, they don't like to much regulation, the only acceptable government for them is defense. They don't want any safety nets for regular Americans who are trying to find their way in this economy. Democrats on the other hand believe that government doesn't solve every problem but it is a necessity to keep the economy strong and regulate the bad parts.
Voting Rights Voting rights has always been Americas biggest issue. Ever since America passed the Voting rights act in 1965 it seemed that the issue was taken care of. But Republicans are trying to find other ways to keep minorities from voting. The ways they are keeping minorities from voting is by redistricting towns or parts of cities so that the edge goes to Republicans. Another way is by changing early voting from 14 days to 7 days. I think we are going to have to update the Voting rights act.
Jon Stewart Take Down Jon Stewart is one of the most impressive late night hosts there is in the country. He always puts the Republicans to shame with his comedic satire. Here are some of my favorite videos.
Congressional Deficiency This Congress has really let the American people down, they can't pass any legislation without offending anybody and they have so many special interests breathing down their back. I think it is time for the American people to set term limits and take the special interests out of congress. Or if they want to have special interests, they should wear logos of the special interests, just like NASCAR.

The GOP Obamacare Turnaround The GOP have been fighting the new health care law ever since it was passed. But we have seen a huge shift ever since Arizona Governor Jan Brewer accepted the law. Now the dominoes are starting to fall Florida governor Rick Scott a staunch fighter against the law has now accepted it.
Let the Blame Game Begin The Republican Party has started to blame the President for the sequester that is coming up. All I could say is that the American people are not dumb. They know what party stands for the middle class, and Republicans could blame the President all they want. Congress is the one with the lowest support in the United States, they have got to take that into account.
The Town Hall Meeting When you have a town hall meeting like Senator McCain did make sure that the town hall is filled with different races. Don't just have people that you feel comfortable having, I did not see one single minority in his town hall, here is the video.

The GOP Obsession How come the news media is always obsessed with showing crazy GOP officials. It doesn't do the nation any good when they show these people spewing their hatred for our President. A lot of these GOP officials are ignorant and would rather bring this nation down then help the President solve the most important issues of our lifetime.
Charismatic Personality The President has always been a person of the people for the people. I really enjoy when they actually go out and meet the people, have lunch, or even hang with the people. It shows that they are not just for living the high life but are to how every American lives and how they struggle.

Spending Cuts The republicans are the worst negotiators when it comes to trying to bring down the deficit. All they want is spending cuts and aren't willing to raise taxes even though they lost an election. Its really horrible that they are playing politics with Americas middle class. Here is a graph to show that Obama has brought down the deficit.
Respect for the Office The United States Presidency has always been the most respected office in the world. It is the most powerful and it is the symbol of democracy. So it doesn't matter who is in office, democrat or republican, on the symbol it says "The President of the United States". We need to stop demeaning our President and stand with him on issues that matters to the United States. We may not agree on many issues but that is why we have debates.
The True Cover Up As the Republicans are going after the Obama Administration for the Benghazi incident, saying that it is a cover up. They keep on forgetting that the true cover up was the Iraq war. Yes we lost four Americans to the incident, but where were they when we lost 4,409 military service members to that pointless war. But that is not all here is the hypocrisy of state department deaths under the Bush administration.
Aaron's Law Aaron Swartz was one of the brightest and the most respected internet pioneers of our time. He believed that the internet should be open to anybody. An open internet lets the flow of ideas flow across the world wide web. This leads to innovation and democracy. That is why I'm glad that some of our lawmakers decided that the prosecution was not right, and decided to write a law under his name.To get details of the law click here
To Big to Fail has become To Big For Trial Senator Elizabeth Warren has become one of the best senators in the new congress. She took on the financial regulators without any fear, asking them why they hadn't taken any big financial institution to court. Financial regulators are there for our protection, if they are bought by the big banks then who do we have to protect us against them.
