I have been very pleased with your interest and passion in debating the issues and candidates in the race for the Presidency, so here is your opportunity to say all the things you don’t get a chance to say in class. You are required to make a minimum of two posts. One original post, and one post in response to someone else's post. Deadline for these two posts is Monday, May 5, 2008.
Who is your preferred Presidential candidate and why? Explain why you believe McCain, Obama, or Clinton would be the best choice for President. Focus on the issues that your candidate represents, such as their stand on health care, the war, immigration, education, social issues, etc… and stay away from “name calling” of the other candidates or your fellow classmates. You may point out the reasons you would not vote for the other candidates (based on their stand on issues), but back up your opinion with facts, not rumors. I encourage you to respond to, and/or disagree with your fellow classmates’ posts, but remember to be polite, clear, and respectful. Rude or disrespectful posts will be deleted, not posted. Remember that this is a public blog, so make the Hawks Team shine by showing how knowledgeable, passionate, and aware you are about current political issues.
