registering

since i have been 18 for almost a year now, i thought i should probably register to vote. but i didnt want to take on a views that i didnt agree with. so i decided to do some research for myself.

first i looked into the Green Party. while there were a lot of things i liked, such as conservation of the oceans. but there were many things that i dont agree with, and those seem to be out weigh the good things. these included pro-choice and gay marriage. both are unbiblical, so no green party for me.

Next i decided to look into the Republican party. as far as education goes (kinda important as far since i am going to be a teacher and all) standardized test suck. all teachers teach to is FCAT, and dont have time for what they are supposed to be teaching. High schools are esp. held accountable for students who are reading and learning below grade level. i think that this problem should be addressed before highschool. and they promote, AP and IB programs which is awesome. the elephants support faith based programs such as a mentoring program for children of prisoners. they are also looking to reduce americas dependence of foreign oil, as well as looking for alternative sources of energy. and YAY! for homeland security and supporting our Military families. Support our Troops! Sounds good to me so far, nothing that i disagree with. oh yeah pro-life and oppose stem cell research.

Democrats the anti-republicans. gee lets see, pro-choice, support stem-cell research. 'nough said, not for me. oh yeah and they dont support the war. now im not pro-war, but with no draft in effect, these BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN are giving there time and even lives to serve the USA. i say even if your not pro-war, we should still support our soliders.

Well it looks like im going to be a Republican. if you have any other information on any of these or other parties, let me know. but give a source for your information. i used the Offical websites for the above parties.
