Only You Can Rock The Vote
MFG Advocate

Well you guys, its that time of the year. The Republican and Democratic Conventions are over and now it is time for us as Americans to start finalizing who to vote for. If you are like me, this year is extremely important for you because this is the year where you can make a difference in America. And it all starts with just one vote. Now, I know you all have seen a lot in the media about the good and bad side to each candidate (probably more bad when it comes to Donald Trump). However, instead of hearing what Fox News and CNN have to say about each candidate, I wanted to give you all an inside glimpse as to what each candidate supports, so that you can make your own decision as to who you think should lead the country.

Donald Trump (Republican)

Supports:

- Pro-Life

- Bringing back jobs from Mexico and China.

- Same-sex marriage as a state issue

- Stronger Police Presence

- Medical Marijuana, not recreational

- Prenuptial Agreement in order to marry

- Building Wall to keep illegal immigrants out of country (which Mexico will pay for)

- Gun rights (NRA funds most of his campaign)

Hillary Clinton (Democratic)

Supports:

- Free Tuition for Community College students enrolled in a four-year program

- Helping eliminate debt from student loans to previous students

- "Every Student Succeeds" Act

- Banning obtaining assault rifles and closing loopholes

- Expanding Obamacare

- Helping illegal immigrants already in the U.S. obtain their citizenship

- Raise minimum wage to $12/hr

- Abortion and same-sex marriage rights

- Reclassification of Marijuana

Now, obviously there is a lot more information about each candidate. However, I would really encourage you all to do your research. Whether you are Black, White, Hispanic, Gay or Straight, you really do have the power to change America. Voting day is November 8 and I really am pushing for you all to excerise your God-given right.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
