This article is basically saying that Congress is below many other things in a poll. This shows that our Congress does not have a very strong stand in the government or public.

I believe that there shouldn't be a limit on campaign contributions because the government and electing process is all about getting known, and having your name everywhere possible. Campaigning is a major part of the electing system. It also goes against the freedom of expression because it's not allowing them to express themselves freely if they put a limit on it. If they want to spend money for campaigning then let them. it's their money, why should they be told what and what not to spend it on?

I believe that a name change for the Washington Redskins is not necessary. It has been in tradition for quite a long time and changing it now would just be crazy. My paternal family once lived in Washington D.C. and my grandpa's favorite team is the Redskins. I don't think that he'd be too happy about the idea of a name change either. I understand the viewpoint of the name changing people, but there is also a point where it's pretty well set in stone.

Response to my grandchild:

Well, I've made a difference by just becoming the woman I am today. I've become a wonderfully excelled woman in the medical field and I've helped many lives continue on. I have become a wonderful mother and grandma for you to look up to. I don't want to be a bad role model for any of my children. I hope I continue to be a wonderful grandma for you any way I can.

This actually does not surprise me. With as much as we get told that we have very high security and it's pretty much impossible to get through anywhere, it's not that fantastic. Our security may seem to be uptight but it's actually getting too lazy. Especially if a nine year old boy can get through all levels of security unnoticed. There is obviously something wrong in this system.

The first article decribes the attack on the World Trade Center fifteen years ago. The bomb carved out a 100 foot crater into the lower parking lot of the World Trade Center. The second article was about a terrorist attack that hit Okalahoma in 1995. The bomb was located in a car, and went off at 9:02am. It destroyed several buildings and killed many more citizens.

I'm sure several of us have many questions about the government shutdown, but some of the questions I still have about the current situation are as follows:

- What was the exact purpose of the whole government shutdown?

- Why does this have to be such a big deal within the society?

- Where is societies stand in the shutdown?
