Really Republicans

Instead of Republicans creating new laws or focusing on the 2014 election. They are focused on repealing Obamacare, if they put that much effort into working with the President maybe things would get done in Washington. Its just unbelievable that they care more about politics than the people.

Journalist Shield Law

Ever since the state department started tapping AP Journalists phones, the AP has lost a lot of credibility with a lot of potential sources. That is why the Journalist Shield law needs to be reintroduced in congress because news organizations are not going to have leads. I understand they tapped the phones to find a leaks but are seriously going to give up our civil liberties for national security. I think we all have to put this saying in our mind "all we have to fear is fear itself" by Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Students Stand Up

American young people are pressured to go college and make something out of themselves, by teachers, mom and dads, and society itself. But what many of those people don't understand is that going to school is not same anymore. Student loans and the interest it takes in enslave young people to have to worry about that debt. What good is a college degree without a job and no job means no growth to this economy. Any loan company that that profits from a student and any for profit school that gets more money from that same student for a major that really doesn't make money should be ashamed of itself.

Eric Holder Must Step Down

Attorney General Eric Holder has to resign, he is making the Obama administration lose credibility. From the fast and furious scandal, to Aaron Swartz prosecution, and now the IRS and AP probe. Republicans are surely going to politicize this, but as Democrats we also have to hold the Attorney General accountable to show that we are not just about party politics but about ethics.

Governmental Restructure

I think it is time for the United States to restructure all departments, to make them work more efficiently and more precise. The government needs to focus on departments working together to help solve everyday problems or to make life easier for the American people. An excellent example of how government can bridge the gap is when I filed my financial aid and filed my taxes I did everything online. I didn't have to get a copy of my taxes to take to school, all I had to do is link my IRS information to my financial aid. That makes it easier and less complicated and if we could do that with other departments the United States will spend less money and might help bring down the deficit.

The True Cover Up

The Republicans are starting to call out President Obama on the Benghazi tragedy. Many of them are savoring at the fact that they could probably impeach the President. Some of them even have the audacity to compare it to the Watergate scandal. If the Republicans plan to take this tragedy and turn it into a political game, it is going to be difficult because they have much more baggage when it comes to cover ups. Should the American people remind them about the Iraq war and how we were lied to about the weapons of mass destruction. If the Republicans weren't so destined to bring Obamas Presidency down, maybe they would have point. The American people are not going to go through another blame game just because the other side wants to score points on four murdered Americans, if that is the case what about the other Americans who died fighting on false pretenses.
