Federal judges wanted to make it a law allowing indefinite detention for anyone who is suspected of terrorism. On a 238- 182 vote the law was rejected. A bill was passed lastyear that gave permission to the president to brand anyone showing terrorist acts and lock them up for life without a trial.

According to the results of a recent poll Obama is going to be reelected. Global investors choose Obama, but domestic investors choose Romney. According to the survey Obama is winning 49%-38%. The survey was given to 1,253 Bloomberg customers. US investors choose Romney with a total of 2 to 1, while investors outside of the US choose Obama with a total of 3 to 1. I think Obama's going to get reelected.

Keith Russell Judd, Obama's opponent in the election, recieved over 40% of the votes. Judd is an inmate at the Beaumont Federal Correctional Institution. He is serving time for extortion and threats made against a university in New Mexico in 1999. The Obama campaign says that Judd will not revieve any delegates. They are trying to claim that people voted for Judd because we are racist.

Mr. Benner-Perry

Mr. Benner-Perry actually taught me a lot of stuff I didn't know. When he first came he helped us with out polls, and helped make our ammendment videos with Furby's class. After that he taught us about immigration in our country and other countries. We had to pick a country we'd like to move to and made a slideshow about it. After that we learned about environmental issues such as air pollution, water pollution, and deforestation. We got into groups and made a powerpoint about that too. After that we learned about financial things. We learned how to balance a checkbook, and write checks. We had to have a fake career and actually see what it's like to live in the real world, and manage money. He was awesome.

Should clicking like on facebook be considered in the first ammendment? I think it should. It's your right to like and support something. A sheriff in Virginia fired six officers for supporting his opponent. His opponent ended up winning the election and he fired the officers. He claims he fired them because he wanted to replace them with sworn deputies and poor performance. He clearly was just mad at the fact that they supported his opponent.
