The 2016 Presidential Election was easily the most negative Election in recent history. Apart from my policy disagreements with President Elect Trump, I am morally repulsed by his conduct. My Hispanic friends were offended by the insinuation a that Mexican immigrants were criminals and a unwanted burden on the United States. My female friends were terrified by his misogyny and open, joking (at best) attitude towards sexual assault. I was disgusted by his disdain for the environment and the truth.…
When I was a little older, I became more observant to the issues and concerns of my peers around me. I started to see the equality issues that surrounded my friends everyday. People would make fun of me for the color of my skin, my homosexual friends would get bullied for loving who they did, and my female friends would always be expected to do less and be less than my their male counterparts.…
Since the inauguration of President Obama, we have watched with horror how the Tea Party has taken over the GOP. What started up as a bunch of disgruntled misfits, has mushroomed into a larger movement and taken over the Republican Party. Arguably, they were aided and abetted by the libertarian oligarchs, David and Charles Koch’s hidden interests which financed and supported the groups with huge donations to their “cause” and candidates running on Tea Party platform. Gradually, we have seen GOP abandon its conservative core beliefs and shamelessly acquiesced to the irresponsible demands of this fringed group. The result is what is today the unrecognizable and clearly the un-conservative party formerly known as the GOP. Among other things, the Tea Party demanded ideological purity, views compromise as weakness, believes in fundamentalist scriptural literalism, vehemently denies scientific truths and are unmoved by facts or deterred by new information. They have a hostile fear of progress and actively demonize anyone who believes in education. They, like most conservatives have an inordinate desire…
Filled with nervous excitement, my ten-year-old-self ran to the bulletin board eager to discover whether or not he was accepted to the choir. As he read the list of who were chosen, his heart sank; he was not on the list. “Maybe I should give up singing ” he thought; “Maybe my voice is not good enough”. However, he refused to despair; he was determined to achieve his goals despite this failure.…
If I were to describe my political ideology, I would consider myself mostly liberal with some independent views. I believe in equality for everyone, regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, nationality, etc. I think Americans need to be a little more accepting, and open to reaching out and helping those in need. This country needs to continue moving forward and growing, and I do not see that happening with a conservative in charge.…

I have come to the conclusion and belief that I have made the correct decision about my future in this town and I will question it no further.

I can only pray that future generations may learn from our…
