Letter to the editor

Dear Editor:
I was very interested in the different views that were in the article about Initiative 1000. After reading the article, I was inspired to research a bit more on the subject so I could get a good idea of what it is about.
Even thought I have researched quite a bit about the Iniatitive 1000, it was very hard for me to form a decision about which side I am on. If I am for it or against it. Here is why:
On one hand, I can understand why some terminally ill people would want to die with dignity and no pain. If the Initiative 100 were made legal, terminally ill people would be able to die at home where they feel comfortable and without pain; not in a hospital surrounded in great pain and surrounded by strangers.
But on the other hand, there is a fact that always makes me reconsider, and that is if, against all odds, you could survive. There is always a chance of surviving, even if it is called a terminally ill disease. Saying yes to the Death with Dignity act could possibly allow the people who – even if it were very unlikely – might live, put themselves to death. Saying yes to the Initiative 1000 could possibly allow people to die, when they could have actually recovered against all odds.
Therefore, even thought I comprehend and even agree to the reasons that people give in favor of the Initiative 1000, I will have to trust my conscience and vote against it. There is always a chance of surviving, for miracles happen when least expected. I am going to stick to 1% of surviving a terminal illness.

Vote for Ford!!!!

The Watergate affected all the people of America. How could a president do such a thing? How could he violate the country's laws? Those thoughts could be heard quite clearly all over the nation. That year was 1973, the year that I, gerald R. Ford, Vice President of the United States, took over as president when Richard Nixon resigned.

Looking back, one can see me previous sucess and strenghs. I graduated from law school on the top third of my class in 1941, earned ten battle stars since when I joined The Navy in 1942, was elected to congress in 1948 and have been re-elected twelve times and became a chairman of The House Republican Conference in 1963.

In 1975 I ordered the evacuation of the reaining Americans in Vietnam. I have always tried to avoid wars at all cost. As you know, when I was president, the U.S. did not get involved in any new war, which brought a great relief to many americans.

As I point out these issues, you will realize that I, right now I can help solve your problems and asure a great satisfaction and pride of America that many have lost for various reasons.

I will support national security, and try to fight with words, not arms. I will fight for equality and rights for the legal immigrants, rewarding them for coming legally. I will support capitalism, letting everyone start his own bussiness whenever and wherever they like, without the goverment being involved in ones private bussiness.

I will do whats best for my country, and my countries people. I will strive for world peace, and vow to try my best in spreading the example of equality and democracy all around the world.

Thank you =)

Department of Health and Human Services Speech

The Department of Health and Human Services:

Would increase the quality of health and the price. We would make public healthcare more accesible for everyone.

We support the medical research organization, that researches possible cures for cancer, AIDs, Alzheimer´s disease, heart ailments, etc.

We think that we should increase the funds for the food and drug administration, so as to have more equipment and resources to assure the safety of foods and toys (the reason for why I put toys is because of the China incident. When they sent manufactured toys that had been painted with some kind of paint that contained a poisonuos quemical).

We think that we should maintain funds for the Center for Disease Control and prevention (CDC), so as to prevent possible outbreaks in the country.

Support adoption agencies, because by supporting adoption agencies we help prevent abortions and homeless children and make sure that children are placed in a well functioning and caring family.

Support increase in funds for the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), and funds for programs that help prevent child abuse and domestic violence.
Support health programs for Native Americans.
