ERA

I do support the idea of the ERA because they supported women's rights. They tried to get equal rights for men and women legalized. I feel as if women and men should both be treated equally because there is not much to differ between the two genders besides reproductive organs. Women can do the same things as men and there should be laws for it. I believe that the ERA should be revised and the bill should be passed because all the Constitution says is that all men should be treated equally and women are not apart of that at all and they should be. It does not matter if that means that they have to change it to involve African Americans to because it should be that way not just white men. This country constantly says how everyone is treated equally and if so they should put it in the U.S. Constitution to make it official.

Jackie Robinson Question Number 6

6. In my personal opinion I believe that Jackie Robinson did many great things for the advancement in Civil Rights. He endured an amount of abuse that many people would not be able to endure. He went through the abuse to be able to prove to people that he was an amazingly talented baseball player no matter what race he was. He never even reacted to the racist people that harassed him, he just let it go and that is much harder and takes much more courage than fighting back and reacting badly. I believe that Jackie Robinson is ranked number two as the greatest Civil Rights figure in American History and that the only person above him in that list would be Dr. Martin Luther King Jr..

The Butter Battle Book

After the Zooks and Yooks realized that the fighting was unnecessary they decided that they will switch off eating the bread with the butter side up and up side down. When they got off of the wall it miraculously fell and they decided never to put another wall up and they will live together in harmony because it really doesn't matter what side you butter your toast.

October 25th, 2010

I do not believe that citizens should have to give up their civil liberties in a time of war because the liberties are there for a reason. If America is labled the country of freedom and liberty then the liberty and freedom should be available all of the time and to everyone that is a citizen. It should not be taken away from people just because it is a time of war. It should not make a difference if it is a time of war or not. If anything it should make the citizens of the country closer together and not seperate. No, the government should not have to enforce loyalty because if a country. If the country is close enough then its nationality will naturally come out. No one should be forced into war or into anything they do not wish to because that will be depriving them of their natural born rights.

Hundreds of INNOCENT People Killed by Heartless Spaniards on the Rise to POWER!!!  
Close to three hundred innocent American sailors were brutally murdered while they were at work. While these young innocent sailors were aboard the U.S.S Maine ship they were brutally attacked and killed by heartless Spaniards. These sailors were off the coast of Cuba when suddenly attacked by thousands of Spaniards. The sailors were just doing a normal days at work patrolling the seas while 5 ships come sailing towards them from all sides. They were blocked in and lit on fire while the Spanish sat and watched them burn alive. This sort of behavior should not be happening and we should not watch it happen to OUR men. We cant let them just kill us off one by one we have to do something about it!! We have to get REVENGE!!!!
