It is to spend tax dollars wisely and keep the whole country together as one.]]> 2017-08-24 15:44:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182605658 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182607126 Being in this class, I expect to learn a lot about the government that I live within today. I don't know a lot about government and civics so it will be interesting to learn about it more. ]]> 2017-08-24 15:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182607126 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182607715 My level of interest in politics used to be very little with Obama in house, with Trump now in house, It has been very hard to not read about it with social media. A lot of what I see on social media and the internet is Trump and what he does and it's easy to be interested in it and read a little about his words and actions. ]]> 2017-08-24 15:50:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182607715 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182609610 My level of interest in politics has increased with Trump in house. With Obama in house, it seemed the country was at way more peace and not being threatened every day by North Korea. With Trump, that has become an almost daily news article with more and more threats and with hatred and cockiness your mind can make a decision that it might regret and that could cause war someday. I don't know a lot about politics and whether Trump is good or bad, but I do know that War is not good and nothing good comes from it. From being in this class I expect to learn a lot about politics and government and expect to make a more educated decision about presidents and budget things with Illinois. ]]> 2017-08-24 15:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182609610 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182612868 2017-08-24 16:06:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182612868 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182613326 2017-08-24 16:07:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/182613326 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/185901229 From the NPR interview it discussed what all went through on the decision of the U.S. vs. VMI court case. These "sisters-in-law" were two of the first girls on the supreme court and changed history with the ruling of the case. ]]> 2017-09-08 15:03:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/185901229 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/189365287 I personally liked the reading out loud of the Declaration because I could better understand what was being said when it was out loud. ]]> 2017-09-20 14:59:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/189365287 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/189366147 My favorite part is the last paragraph because it brings the whole Declaration and the people of the United States together as one. ]]> 2017-09-20 15:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/189366147 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/205125717 I actually liked this movie and didn't think I would at first. Mostly because it was in black and white and I thought it would be hard to follow but it was really good. The way Mr. Smith stood up for himself against all other threats to him in office was outstanding. He was a random Boys club leader who was chosen to be the Senator. He came in blind but he learned a lot from his harsh experiences. No one thought he should've been there but he had Saunders by his side the whole time helping him. I really got into the movie when the other dude started rumors about what Mr. Smith did and Mr. Smith had to fight hard for the truth to come out. He should a lot of perseverance and courage to be standing and talking for like 9 hours or whatever the time was. ]]> 2017-11-09 03:44:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/205125717 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/205127354 I think Mr. Smith could've been apart of the Republican Party with his wanting to teach boys about outdoors and guns could've been involved in the boys club]]> 2017-11-09 03:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/205127354 cdowllar18 https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/205127685 I could compare Mr. Smith to Mr. Adam Kinzinger. A Illinois representative of the Republican party. As in my earlier post about Mr. Smith, I could've thought that Mr. Smith of Washington was apart of the Republican party just like Mr. Kinzinger. I also picked Mr. Kinzinger because he was looked way younger than everyone else. This is the exact same for Mr. Smith. He was a very young Senator but had the courage to battle against the older people. ]]> 2017-11-09 03:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/cdowllar18/niu7qfv7rdbz/wish/205127685
