Is there something to hide?

This critique of an editorial on USA Today, is about having to disclose donors on Super PAC ads. There seem to be a large amount of money that is donated to help with campaigns. In which, of course, help win elections. This, whole editorial is saying to me is that , if you have enough money you have an edge over everyone else that is running against you. I feel like of course you need money to have a successful campaign. But, I also feel like the other people who may have less amount of money should have a good chance of winning also. I do see the points about the amounts that have been donated to keep an campaign alive as you will see when you read the article, but the whole idea of having every donor on ads saying" I approve this message" is unnecessary. Yes, we do have a right to see who and how much someone is donating, The question is Do we do this to everyone who donates in whole world? I feel its not that fair if we just discriminate to the presidential candidates, but what about other organizations who also receive large lump sum of money that has been donated. We as a people only care about things that of course impact us. When we make decisions we don't think about others and what actually makes a difference. Plus, I don't think having disclose donors on Super PAC ads will make a difference in anything. Everything will still run the same and there will still be a "bidding war" in every campaign. I would say I do not agree with this editorial. It is a useless thing to do. I feel we need concentrate on things that will make a difference and stop worrying about things that doesn't matter.

No Child Left Behind

I would like to take this opportunity to talk about our future children. On February, 9th, 2012, USA Today published an article that President Obama will be giving 10 states a education wavier. That is a wonderful idea. The reason I say this is because it will give educators lead way and room to educate everyone. Most people will like to think that all children will have to learn the same but realistically they do not. So, when the children didn't meet the requirements in being proficient in reading and math they were considered as "Failure".  This idea will help those who are struggling, not only just the minority or the low-income. I feel this will give the teachers more hope, and flexibility it help those in need of extra educational assistance in school. This wavier may seem like we are spending federal dollars on the wrong thing, but it will benefit in the future for our children and our government. The schools that are scoring low will have to step it up, but then the children may actually see that we care about their future, and may feel the need to do better. I am happy to see this, and hope we all can see the difference it will make for all of us.
