Illegally Speaking

This entry concerns the issue of illegal immigrants sneaking into the United States. I believe that if a person wants to come and live and work here, they should go through the proper channels to become a legal citizen. Yes, I understand that the conditions in other lands are sometimes oppressive but that is no reason to be dishonest about getting entry into this country. We are a land of great opportunity and jobs need to go to the citizens first then when an immigrant becomes a citizen, he or she can then take their place in the society of working people.

Hypothetically Speaking...if I were the President

I often wondered what I would do if I woke up one day and found myself not home here in Ohio but somehow in the White House!! And to top it off, to find myself as the President of these United States of America. How would I handle the issues of the day? I don't mean the mundane stuff but the red hot issues like the war in Iraq, illegal immigrants, school violence,gay rights,separation of church and state,environmental issues like global warming,fair housing,gun control, crime and punishment, religious liberty, the cost of higher education,the high cost of oil and gas and fair wages for the working people so that they might have a chance to make a difference by being able to afford to make a significant contribution to their community. well in upcoming posts here, I will discuss some of these issues so keep an eye on this blog for further updates.
