A Summary Of Huelskamp
Huelskamp, though not particularly vocal on the issue of the Cuban embargo, represents the interests of Kansan farmers on the embargo, and encourages the thawing of relations and the development of trade and tourism opportunities. Being a Republican from KS-01, Huelskamp has to contend with the interests of various Kansan commodity organizations, which are vocal supporters of lifting the embargo, but also the establishment Republican position of maintaining the embargo. However, Kansas is one of the largest producers of agricultural products in the country, and opening trade with Cuba would provide an attractive and lucrative opportunity for Kansan farmers to export their goods. Thus, Huelskamp deviates from the Republican position

    “The Fosbury Flop” by Rich Wallace told the story of how Dick Fosbury never gave up during his track and field career, specifically the long jump. For example, Wallace states “ his coach had never seen such an odd style”, which Fosbury had practiced over and over again.

    President Kennedy was an instrumental person in decision-making, who took a stance against the U.S. intervention in the Cuban invasion to protect his presidential reputation and position. Personal values are individual beliefs that are highly influential in the decision-making process because they want to “protect or promote [their] own physical or financial well-being, reputation, or historical position.” Kennedy made a critical decision to not have an U.S. intervention in the Bay of Pigs invasion because he did not want to stand a chance of a political fallout (Wyden, 1979). Kennedy’s personal values and determined mindset provided limitations on analyzing the best choices for success to overthrow the Castro regime. When the mission called for the need of U.S. military invention, President Kennedy refused because he was persistent on protecting his personal values and presidential image.…

    John F. Kennedy's foreign policy contributed immensely to the conflicts with the Soviet Union in Cuba. The Bay of Pigs invasion was a result of Kennedy's implementation of a foreign policy that wasn’t effective with resolving problems between the opposing nations in the middle of the Cold War (Bay of Pigs happened in 1961). The Cold War represents a time of distress for the United States, as the population faced a growing threat of communism. The president realized that his tactics were inoperative while carrying out the invasion - the invasion that had been fabricated by the former president, Eisenhower. The invasion would go on to increase tensions between the two powers, rather than resolve them. The Bay of Pigs invasion supports the belief…

    Castro ideology doesn’t fully match my congressional district because both of the other senators are both under the republican party unlike Mr. Castro who is under the democratic party. The Texas governor which is continuing to build on his record of his strong, conservative leadership is, Gregory Abbot which also a republican that has more similar beliefs in the conservative field like myself. So basically I don’t think that Mr. Castro is a good representative for my district because more civilians are like myself rather than supporting the beliefs of his ideology label. The state of Texas is very strong in the republican party and is against most of Mr. Castro beliefs which could be a problem. I think his representative figure would fit better in a district in California, a very democratic state. Mr. Castro has a lot more in common with there beliefs, such as same sex…
