What to Wear During an Orange Alert Election Special Every year it gets increasingly difficult to see through the propaganda, and actually understand the issues of the election. Lucky for you we are here to help. The Election is on November 7th, 2006, and here are the candidates:
Democratic Party - Rod Blagojevich
Republican Party - Judy Baar Topinka

For the sake of space, we will be posting the issues that are important to each candidate in the comments section of this post. Stay tuned, and remember if Paris can vote so can you!

Correction to Rich Whitney:
ReplyDeleteHe is Pro-choice, and not Pro-life as originally posted. Sorry.
This is from his website:
Therefore, I do not believe that it is the proper role of government to intervene in a choice that women should make for themselves, and force them to bear unwanted children. Besides, making abortion illegal is not the best way to reduce its frequency; it would only return us to the circumstances that existed in 1973: wealthier women would still be able to obtain a safe abortion while poorer women would not, and many of them would obtain an unsafe or deadly "back alley" one instead.
