Political Cartoon- I chose this particular illustration because it is so hilarious but also very true. It represents the sheer confusion that was going on during the presidential race between Gore and Bush but also adds a humorous twist to it. The quote "Yep, we're in Florida alright" makes this cartoon so funny and it is the reason why i chose it

Project Citizen

The kids of New Byrd School are very inspirational. They brought new meaning to the phrase "Yes We Can". Throughout this passage, they use the word "we" and that shows that if we band together "we" can accomplish anything and age doesn't matter.To think that these are only elementary and high school students really blows my mind. Everything was so thoughout and organized, it made me think that these were high school and college students. "Using the project we learn how the government works and how we can make changes even as fifth graders." That one quote makes project citizen worth while.

The Best Canidate

First of all, just because the image shows a man doesn't mean that only men could get the job done. I feel that gender should play a role in this discussion at all. The person that I feel should represent the best candidate is a person that not only looks out for the betterment of the individual, but also the community as a whole. Also, my candidate will most likely be a liberal. Simply because (according to a political ideology quiz) I am. Honesty and loyalty are to major characteristics my candidate will have. The government is already filled with corrupt people and its about time for a dose of the truth. He/She also needs to be humble so he/she can inspire the American public. One person cannot change things all at once, it takes a nation to decide whether or not they want to be the country that is constantly keeping up with other countries or if they want to be the country that is doing the leading. With this canidate i believe there is hope for a brighter future
