    It's no secret that the Republican party is now more well-known for their fear mongering and obstructionist tactics than legislating or having any real interest in governing. As many of you may remember, Republicans came under heavy criticism last year for trying to derail the Iran Nuclear Deal through a combination of dangerous propaganda. They attempted to poison public opinion and recklessly interfered with the negotiation process which could have had disastrous consequences. In an underhanded, some have even suggested treasonous move, 47 Republicans lead by Senator Tom Cotton and signed by GOP Presidential candidates Marco Rubio and Rand Paul had sent an open letter to Iran…

    As our country grows and progresses into the future, so do our ethics. With each generation we tend to generally shift with our new definitions of what is right and what is wrong. Overtime, these shifts tend to break apart and either redefine or create new political parties. The current youthful generation could more than likely see such changes within their lifetimes, just as we’ve recently seen division in the Republican Party with the creation of the Tea Party Movement. With an ever changing demographic in our country and a general movement towards social reform from the now growing youth, combined with the dying out of aged conservatives, the future majority representative political parties could become…

    With many different views on how to run the government, it was hard to depict which parties’ group would be the strongest and the best fit to control the country: the Federalists’ or the Democratic-Republicans. The Federalists’ wanted a very strong government to bring together the bickering states. On the other hand, the Democratic-Republicans pictured more independent state governments to rule the people. Although they didn’t agree on many things they did have one idea in common, such as, both parties wanted to follow the Constitution, but in different ways.…

    The Democrat and Republican parties of the late 1800’s had a parallel belief that it was giving a voice to its constituents. The Republicans and Democrats fought over political corruption, civil rights, reconstruction, immigration, and States’ rights. Republicans appealed to the Union, Border States, and African Americans. The South had to be rebuilt, but giving power to the Southern whites was not an option at any time. Lincoln’s 10% Reconstruction plan would swiftly allow seceded states back into the Union, but Congress did not agree with this plan and in response they came up with the Wade-Davis Bill. The passing of this bill revealed some conflicts between Congress and…

    When I was first asked to Vote it was an easy choice for me. I was picking Donald Trump. He was a business man that could help America financially and could take us out of the national debt. However, the more I looked at Donald Trump and the way his outlook on things were, I started to notice that maybe he is not a good fit for our president. Based on the way he wants to face the issues of education, foreign policy, and immigration, compared to Hilary Clinton and her way to face the issues it is clear to me now that Hilary Clinton is a better choice for presidential office than Donald Trump.…

    The Democratic-Republican Party was organized by James Madison and Thomas Jefferson in 1791. Their purpose to serve was standing in opposition against the Federalist Party for upcoming elections. The Democratic-Republican Party supports states’ rights and the literal and strict interpretation of the Constitution.

    Of all the parties that were present the one that I am going to vote for is the Ontario Progressive Reformist Party. Some of their ideas that I agree are creating more employment opportunities, Social welfare and environmental protection. Issues such as employment opportunities will effect me in the future as in only a few years I myself would have to enter the workforce, and with there plan on increasing employment opportunities I too would gain from this. An increase in employment opportunities allows me to have more of a choice of what I can become, either a mechanic or a doctor. Another one of their idea is social welfare. Social would benefit many poor families and if i were to ever need assistance from social welfare it would be nice to have one with many benefits even if it’s a failsafe.…
