Chapter 10


Chapter 10 blog




Bush v. Gore election was a real mess. I remember that election, Jeb Bush was governor of Florida. Yes it should have gone to the Supreme Court. That was the best option to settle it and get a president in office.

Fundraising is important to get the word out. Television ads have to be paid for along with gas to travel to different states to campaign, campaign signs, and banners. All kinds of political expenses to get your name and ideas out to the people. If there’s no money, then there’s no campaigning. I don’t have any ideas to correct the problem. If you don’t have the support of a party, or know the right people, then you are on your own.

Low voter turnout is because people don’t believe the politicians anymore. They are fed up with the way things are being run in the United States. Unemployment is at nine percent. People losing their homes, and everyone is so mad and depressed over the economy. There would have to be a real smooth talking person to get people to sit up and listen and vote.
