Responses

1.This can help people to be more encouraged to vote because it tell them exactly what it is that they need to do to vote without a hassle.

2.I encountered the issue of getting information on voting in my community so I had to get an direct source, my mom , to help me with what it is she has to do when she votes.

3.I would change the mailing because it could be faster to have your application verified right when you complete it.

4. I believe that what we do with the voters registration is good I only say that we should find a way to speed up the verification process.

       The five most important rights of citizens
Number 1 is Freedom of Speech, because of the fact that we already have the right to think freely and say whatever it is you want to say with some exceptions such as wrongfully accusing somebody of something and saying that you said it because you have the freedom of speech.
Number 2 is Right to assembly just like the freedom of speech you have the right to say what you want but also you get to come together as a community and express your feeling as a group towards a common "dislike".
Number 3 is the Right to bear arms because we don't have an army at home to protect us we have ourselves and our weapons. Without the right to bear arms we wouldn't be able to protect ourselves and be more subject to crime.
Number 4 is Freedom of the press, because without freedom of the press we wouldn't actually know what is going on because our newspapers would be a one way street not being able to share the opinions that would make the story relevant.
Number 5 is the right to vote, because the right to vote is what keeps up "in the loop" without that we wouldn't know what was going on or even a point for us to have an opinion if we couldn't have a say in what should and needs to happen.
           The 5 most important responsibilities of citizens
The responsibility to vote. We as Americans have always fought over who should and should not be able to vote
and now everybody is allowed to vote so us voting is like saying we have found peace in the decisions that were made many years ago that now allow us to vote.
The responsibility to serve in jury duty because the jurors are responsible for protecting our rights and freedoms and that is shown best by the people them selves.
The responsibility to support or take part in the military because those are the people who fight to keep the way that we are living simple and chaos free.
The responsibility to be a productive citizen, and to provide for your family, friends, children, or any person/people who rely on you.
The responsibility to care for our fellow citizens such as donating to the red cross to help any people in need such as the victims of super storm sandy in New Jersey and New York.

Ballot Initiative

Consumers Right to Know!

This ballot initiative is the requirement for all genetically engineered products of food or drinks are to be labeled to show that the product is and has been in some way changed from its natural state.

The problem is that companies that decided they were going to genetically engineer their products didn’t have a label that expressed the products feature. The label needs to explain that there are changes in the properties they so decided to change.

This ballot will help the people of Florida to know what their buisness are selling to us by exposing the procedures they used with a simple label.

This is important for the consumers to know because of the fact that the people should have the right to know what their food contains.
