1) I believe that it is a great thing for WV to have America's youngest lawmaker. 18 year old Saira Blair is the youngest lawmaker ever. I believe that Saira might be to young to be in the House of Delegates. But, I believe from her background that she has been following politics since she was 6. She has always wanted to help the country in making laws and helping keep are country safe.
2) With Saira Blair being the youngest lawmaker in history makes are generation believe that we have more to show for than just being high school students or young adults. I believe that with her being the youngest lawmaker in WV, she has made a point that she is a really strong and meaningful person. Saira Blair, to me, is going to be a great lawmaker because of her age. She will always be around to listen and hear what other have to say about the laws and how to improve them.

1) In Barbour County, there were two seats up for grabs. The Barbour County Commission seat and Barbour County Sheriff. These two seats have been decided. The seat for County Commission was taken by a fellow Philip Barbour High School teacher, Tim McDaniel. The County Sheriff was taken by Philip Ferguson which has been in the force for many years. Each race was won in a much larger voting area then each other.
Out of the WV senate race, 11 of the candidates that won were GOP (Republicans) out of 17. There were 6 Dem (Demarcates) that won out of the 17 spots. Almost all of the candidates were males. Only 6 were "i" on the WV Senate Races.
I believe that elections are important because that way the people have the power to vote and elect who they want in house and who can help our Country. I think it is important to vote so that your voice (vote) can be heard. It also shows that you listen, care and want to help the economy grow in the way you think it will help.

1) Brittany Maynard died the evening of Nov. 1st in her Portland home. She was diagosned with brain cancer a few months back. She was going to go with assisted suicide but then changed her mind. Until recently when she and increased amount of seizures, severe head and neck pains and etc. Brittany had changed her mind and choose to take the assisted suicide medication. She let a posititve impact on the younger age group and how no matter what happens, keep on fighting.
2) Those who don't agree with the right to death should be in Brittany's spot before saying that. If someone you knew was going through the exact same thing she was going through with the pain and deep thoughts of dying...I believe they would go with the same choice Brittany choose.
3) My opinion is, if I had to go through what Brittany Maynard went through...I would choose the same choice she choose. I wouldn't want anyone to see the pain I was going through or see how much it was hurting me. I also didn't want anyone to feel sad, I'd want everyone to party like there's no tomorrow after I was died. No funeral. No sadness, just parting and being happy.

1) In this article, it is stating that West Virginia is going to become Republicans state. Even though it pretty much is, there is still a small amount of people that are Democrats or Independents. The majority of West Virginia is Republicans. Just as Shelley Moore Capito wants it to be.
2) Personally, I'm not a Republican, but more Independent that others. I agree with some of Shelley Moore Capito's statements and then I disagree with some of her statements also. I push for some of the things Capito wants to do but then I push against a lot of the things she says. But half the time I want to just say, "Let the best runner win." That is the best way I can put the way I feel about this.

1) This supports my defense for the side I am on. I believe that, even though there wasn't a federal court hearing that the man should still be executed for his punishment for what he brought upon the family that lost a mother and 2 children.
2) I do believe they were right but for the crime he has committed, he should still be executed for what he has done. This is a crime that can not be pushed away and not taken care of.Execution of the man is a fair punishment.

All states have the right to make and enforce laws in that state. But, a majority of the laws that are stated in the article will not be enforced. Some of the laws that states have imposed are some of the dumbest ones anyone will ever hear. For example, "Alaska: It's against the law to wake bears for the purposes of taking a picture." Who would be dumb enough to go take a picture of a bear and waking it up so it looks real. I would conclude that the bear wouldn't let you take a picture but charge at you and most likely make you its breakfast. These laws have no meaning in my opinion. There what you call, "Space fillers."

1.) They are seeking the death penalty because of the death of 300+ passengers that were aboard the ferry.
2.) I believe that the death penalty might be a little much but at the same time the right thing to do. If the Caption of the ferry had tried to take any action to help the passengers on the ship then I would take a problem in this whole case. Overall, I believe that the punishment is the correct one for this case.
3.) I do believe that the death penalty should be allowed in this case. I believe this because of the non-action the caption had taken. The caption was seen in a video, jumping into a life boat wearing only his underwear. He was pushing passengers out of his way instead of helping them get into a safety boat. Also, he let 200+ schoolchildren die on the ferry instead of helping them.
