The Libertarian Revolution

During this election season we have seen many things happen, such as Donald Trump become the Republican nomination, Hillary Clinton being found not guilty by the FBI and another email sent saying the DNC was rigging the primaries to help out Hillary, to the rise of the #feelthebern movement. Now with November only 4 months away a new movement is starting, The Libertarian Revolution. When former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson started his campaign no one thought he stood a chance. At most maybe he would get 2-3% of the vote. Now recently thanks to the fact that America has to choose between two evils, people are realizing “hey we got this guy right here”. Johnson is picking up ground. He is polling at 13 percent overall in the nation. All he needs is 15% and Donald and Hillary will have to deal with Gary Johnson at the debates. Imagine Hillary and Donald just trying to belittle each other and Gary would just be focused on the issues. In this election he is the only candidate who knows what he is talking about. In fact, he is the most qualified candidate severing two terms as governor of New Mexico.

This movement is not going to be a wasted vote for the Libertarians as more voters are starting to see that Gary is an option America can get behind. He is polling at the mid 20’s in 3 states one of them being New Mexico. If these numbers improve he may stand a chance to win 3 states, something that a third party candidate hasn’t done since Teddy Roosevelt did in the election of 1912. And with winning states, that will end the two party system in America and now bring the light of a new party to voters. However, this revolution cannot die down. We need everyone to pitch in. Let your voice be heard this November. Don’t throw your vote away with Trump or Clinton, send a message to the two party system by helping fuel the Libertarian Revolution.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
