3 Issues that are most interesting to you and your position on the issues:

1. one of the largest issues today is immigration. should we or should we not? the people who oppose this issue are nativists who see immigrants as a threat to american jobs and people whoforce americans out of the job because they work so cheaply. spme people who are for it are the ceo's of companies, because some of them see immigration as a source of cheap labor. finally, the last group that is for immigration are political party leaders looking for people for their party. I am for immigration because not only does it help the economy grow, but it might be the thing that gets us out of this depression. also, I think that anyone who wants a good life in america should be able to have one.

2. another big issue in america today is stem cell recerch. this is one of the topics that is not talked about much. since 1981, when stem cells were first isolated in labratory mice, scientists have been interested in their restorative power. all one would have to do is obtain these small, yet valuble cells, and stimulate them the right way, and then you could make any kind of cell, which would then reproduce to make any organ or body part imaginible, be it a spleen, a liver, or even a heart. what is the downside to this, You ask? well, the only known way to obtain stem cells is in the fetus of that same species, so the question really is, will we sacrifice our yong for our old?

3. The final big issue in the nation is the recent debate over the right to bear arms. Some people think that when the Constitution said the right to bear arms, it ment that a local militia or army forces could do so. Others argue that it is an unalienable right to every citezen to own a gun. The republicans are for less gun control and more hunting grounds. Democrats are for strengthening gun control to reduce violent crimes.
