More young people need to get involved in the whole campaign, voting process.  I really believe the focus should be to address internal local issues, like education and drugs.  Two areas that definitely impact America's youth.

The republican party is looking for issues that can carry them in the upcoming elections.\n\nIn 2000-2004, they struck a chord with gay marriages, and war on terrorism. But now, these issues are either non-issue, or infact, a drag on republican party - especially war on iraq.\n\nIn order to hold on to conservative, or near conservative vote bank, the next topic of interest is immigration. The fact is, illegal immigration and also legal immigration helps another bastion of republicans - industrialists, who want cheap labor.\n\nBut there are only so many rich industrialists, to a large population of white conservatives. Also, the appeal of immigration is also for many blacks/ hispanics, who are now naturalized, and dont want others like them to come in, and take away their jobs.\n\nThus, immigration is a good wedge point for republicans - get back the white conservatives, who may be drifting away becuase of Iraq, and also, get new voters - poorer blacks/ hispanics, who dont want more immigrants to come in.\n\nTherefore, suddenly every republican, and FOX news is talking about that immigration issue, while thousands continue to die in Iraq war, we continue to pollute the environment, we continue to run massive deficits, and the rich continue to get tax breaks, while the rest of america continues to loose essential services, and well paying jobs

There are numerous topics you could cover. Here's some topics that you can start with for your speech (they're based on current events):\n\n- Gas Prices: Will they continue to go up or down?\n- Will we travel in Space like we travel in cars in the near future?\n- Will we have a republican in the White house as our next president?\n- Will we have books in the future or will everthing be on computers?\n- Will robots become our new pets?\n- How small will cell phones get?\n- What is the future of music?\n- Will human genetics be able to be changed in the future?\n- Will extraterrestrials ever visit earth?\n- Will the war end in Iraq?\n\nThese questions should help you to flesh out what you want to say. You'll need to do some research on the topics though, but they are broad enough topics to get you started on your speech.\n\nHope that helps!\n\n~JYH

Michigan State and Michigan? Michigan usually has the better team.\n\n This past year, Michigan was 7-5 and Michigan State was 5-6. The Wolverines (Michigan) won in their matchup, 34-31.\n Michigan won the year before, as well.\n\n This past season was the first time that Michigan State was favored over Michigan in their annual matchup.

Everyone is welcome to speak on our electorate process in our country,everyone's opinion is welcome. There were were no major problems in this election,as in the last Presidential election where Florida and Supreme Court got involved in choosing our last President. \n  The people in this country are tired of the killing and the mayhem of the Middle East,and we tried to solve the process by helping out,but it has only made the situation worse. The Voting Public of this country spoke loud and clear on this issue this past election. \n  Thank you for your input and your concern of a big major world crisis,and hopefully our legislatures will solve the problem in the upcoming months..it takes time.

Take a look at the region.  What types of activities go on there: agricultural, industrial, etc.  For example, if you asked me what determined the population concentration for the state of Michigan I would job availability.  For example, there are more jobs to be had in the cities so more people move to them.  Really take a look at what goes on in that region.  Where do most of the people live?  What takes place in those areas?  Then you will have your "answer."

Don't be so sure it won't be a Bush again. Brother Jeb is being touted as a possible Republican candidate. I'd say Hillary Clinton is the front-runner.

Sounds fantastic!  That is just about every issue out there and covered in a way that the PEOPLE win.  The only opposition is bound to come from those with money to control what happens, and hopefully this idea won't be killed by those jerks!  Long Live America!

i think they are going to try and push it through next year with out referendums.  EU presidency changes next year too.  i think in light of events in the middle east, it is considered a pressing issue.
