Political Issues- 2nd Post

You are doing great, class of 2012!

For today, need you to assign points to the issues that matter to you and then take the quiz at http://glassbooth.org/

Browse through the issues to see where Obama and McCain stand(ignore Nader unless you consider him a serious candidate). Which issues do they have similar beliefs to you? Which issues do you believe something different from the candidates?

Pick ONE issue to research in depth.

Read the linked articles from glassbooth.org, or begin a web search on google by typing your issue into the search box.

When you feel you know enough about the issue, respond in your blog. Compare and contrast how the candidates view the issue, and how that relates to what you believe.

Your blog should be 3 parts:

1. What Obama believes about the issue
2. What McCain believes about the issue
3. Your research on the issue and what you believe, and how that relates to which candidate you would vote for.
