The campaign of freshman Senator Ted Cruz has announced that it made an impressive donations haul since he announced that he was running for president. Touting his connection to grassroots voters, the senator also downplayed the role that big money donors have played in funding his campaign.

Everyone in the world is as unique as the snowflakes that fall upon us in the winter. No one acts the same or grew up the same, so it’s a no brainer when it’s observed that they all have contrasting opinions. And with different opinions come divergent reactions of anger or spitefulness when their opinion is not met. An extensive controversial topic today is how much we sensitize our books and museums for the children and everyone else. A writer from The Atlantic Monthly wrote about this exact issue 100 years ago and had a sprinkle of intriguing arguments for it.…
It occurs every four years, the United States is in an election cycle. During this campaign season, however, has been unlike any election ever taken place in modern history. Beginning with a large pool of candidates, the primary elections, primarily among the Republican party took an extremely negative unexpected turn. Many voters feel that the remaining candidates for both Democratic and Republican party are very disappointing. The two parts appear to be strongly divided and in deep turmoil. Who has inspired me as a voter, and who has put up the best, and most honest fight to be in office is Bernie Sanders…

The executive branch enforces the laws, the legislative branch makes the laws, and the judicial branch interprets the…
Undocumented immigrants are less likely than legal immigrants or U.S citizens to have health insurance. You may ask yourself, why is that? Most of the immigrants that come to the U.S. illegal don't even have benefits owning to the fact that immigrants fear to be deported back to the place from which the individual came from. Due to those opportunities that the immigrant is not able to have, parents can't take their children to the doctors.…
The new president and the government officials of America should be for immigration.Why should the government even be pro immigration you may be asking?

If you were born in a poor country and you could barely survive, what would you do? If you heard that there are opportunities for a better life in more advanced countries, would you try your luck there in an attempt to provide a better life for your family? Although the reasons that brought all the immigrants to the Unites States may vary, a typical case is that in which an individual is born in a family with limited resources and he comes to the U.S. with hopes of having a better life. Those who have empathy would want to help those going through a difficult situation by letting them into our country. However, simply acting based on emotions is not sufficient; reasoning and logic are crucial when governing a nation. After an examination of…

In todays world, about 48% of people vote. Most of those voters are around the age of 60. I find it sad that young adults aren't very excited about being able to exercise their civic right. In his book, An Economic Theory of Democracy, Anthony Downs writes about the pros and cons of voting. The pros simply being that if you canadite wins then they get to put into action all the plans he/she had which compeled you to vote for them. The cons being that we would have to resaruch the canadates to see which one believes the same thing you believe, we would have to drive to the place were you vote, if it is raining or cold outside you would have to bundal up. So the reason americans don't vote is simply because we are lazy.…
