President Election

Hi, I am John Tyler; I was born on March 29, 1790 in Charles City County Virginia. I was the first Vice President to be elevated to the office of President by the death of William Henry Harrison, making me your 10th president. But before I accomplished this I attended the college of William and Mary where I studied law under my father. I also served in the House of Representatives as a Democratic-Republican from 1816 to 1821, after leaving the house I also served as Governor of Virginia. Then in 1840 I became part of the newly-organized Whig Part with an offer to be that party's vice-presidential nominee. I quickly found myself at odds with my former political supporters. I had been expected to adhere closely to Whig Party policies and to work closely with Whig leaders, particularly Henry Clay. But I, the life-long Democrat, shocked Congressional Whigs by vetoing virtually their entire agenda. In 1843, after I vetoed a tariff bill, the House of Representatives considered the first impeachment resolution against a president in American history. A committee headed by former president John Quincy Adams concluded that I had misused the veto, but the impeachment resolution did not pass. But now, why I should be president today, I believe everyone deserves a chance. So I would cut taxes on the lower class families to help bring back the middle class. Also I will attempt to get more of the society working again. I would also make a plan to help reduce global warming, I do not believe it is all our faults, but we have sped up the process. I will put in place, more “safe energy” for example, by using more wind, water, solar, and other safer methods. And about the war, I would organize a plan to get out, but I will not just leave, it is time Iraq stands on their own feet, and we will leave gradually. But we will help them while leaving. While doing this I am going to make sure that home land secretly, FBI, and all federal accounts will stay in better touch to help us know what is happing in the country and out. One topic that has been and always be discussed is abortion; I will allow however the right to this if pleased. How am I to say what you can do to your body, I am not for it, but I would fell wrong to say what you most do. Also gay marriage, I would allow this, and give them all the benefits, it is their right to happiness in anyway the please. Immigration, I am for people coming to make an honest living, and try and better themselves. But if they come into our country and end up in jail, I will have them removed. Also if they are illegal immigrants, not try to become legal, I will have them removed. I also believe we need to secure the boarder better; this will be a hard task, but needs to be done. Another is energy independence; we import 75 percent of oil from foreign countries making us dependent on other countries. So we need to generate more energy from resources within our country. A majority of the money we spend on foreign oil could possibly end up in terrorist hands. So with this plan, I believe I would be the best candidate for president, vote John Tyler.

Initiative-1000

We support initiative 1000 because it gives the right to people to decide their fate. For example, people with terminal illnesses would be able to help themselves get out of pain and suffering. “Nancy Niedzielski, who watched her husband, Randy, die a lingering painful death from brain cancer in 2006”. “He knew the ugliness his death was going to cause him, the pain and suffering, Niedzielski said”. She goes on to talk about how her husband became “uncharacteristic and angry” for the doctors would not help him hasten his death because the law would not allow them to. Her husband told her “They don’t have a right to tell me how long I have to suffer”. So while I show you this example, it shows why I-1000 should be passed and not only allowed in Oregon. With this law being passed there requirements, for example, you have to be expected to die in six months. Also, be free of depression and able to muster sound judgment. You must also request the prescription verbally and in writing, and again verbally after a 15 day waiting period. Then you also have to have two witnesses, one not being related or a working doctor at the facility. The doctor can decline the patient the medication at any time. They must have a second doctor’s opinion about the patient before they can prescribe the lethal dose.

The Hefty to-do list...

1. Deepest housing recession in a generation, growing fears of bank failures, a sinking dollar, $4 gasoline and an economy bleeding jobs, confronting wars in Iraq, and Afghanistan.


2. In 2000, the last time no incumbent was running, consumer confidence was at record levels and the economy had created 1.3 million jobs in the year’s first six months. This is important, because people need jobs.


Bush’s budgets have add 1.7 trillion to the national dept. this is important because we should not be that far in dept.


Today, 82 percent of Americans say the economy is doing badly. The people should be happy with economy.


In August 2000, 89 percent of Americans said the economy was doing well, according to a Los Angeles Time poll. This shows how much or economy has gone down if you look at the percentage above.


Voters consider education is the most important issue after the economy, Iraq war, health care, terrorism, and illegal immigration. This shows was the nation thinks is important.


4.I believe that Obama will be able to meet the challenges in the future. For example, the war in Iraq, Obama want to with drawl troops by the end of 2009. We need this for we are sending troops into a place where we shouldn’t have gone in the first place. We are wasting money on the war we shouldn’t have started. Another reason is because; on global warming he wants to have a ten year plan to produce “climate friendly” energy supplies. Which we need, for if global warming is that big of a problem, we need to fix it sooner than later. Also, in immigration, he offers the right to get legal status, but wants to secure the boarder too. This is important, because having immigration legally is not a bad thing. But we need to secure the boarder.
