    This article is about the latino voter.
    Latino voter,66% would vote for democrats but 33% have thousht a lot about the election and only 50% plan to vote.

    I think this is not good is wrong because they have two group.If they vote together that is good but they have two group. I think they should vote because they have to vote for government so government should know what to do.

    Burr and Marshall are at each other's throats during the North Carolina senate race. They don't agree on anything, and have very different opinions on every subject talked about at the debate. While Burr and Marshall are arguing, Libertarian Beitler sits back and watches. He talks about his opinion on the topics, but doesn't take sides with Burr or Marshall. The candidates are very intense on their opinions, and people should really consider their choice before going out and voting.

    I read an article about the us senate race. It said that Republican Senator Richard Burr holds a double-digit lead over challenger Elaine Marshall. Since Burr is a current NC senator, he is running for reelection. A recent poll finds Burr with 52% support, while Marshall has 38% of the vote. A month ago, burr still had a similar lead on Marshall. Originally Burr was expected to be one of the most vulnerable candidates, but he has been ahead most of the year.

    I think that it is not sockin that North Carolina is leaning towards the Republican side, but I do believe that Marshall is a very good candidate and would make a good senator, if you go back to it tho I supported Cunningham in the primaries. Fiona

    This article was about republican richard burr that is running a second time in the Senate president obama's election. He is running against the former north carolina secretary of state Elaine Marshall. Marshall and Burr disagreed on the supreme court's citizens united decision make the restrictions less on political contributions. Burr called it free speech, and marshall had concerns about corporations.

    latino voters could help swing mid-term elections by;Sammy J. Marquez De Leon

    the latino voters reprecent the minority of the american poblaccion as a number but still representing an important paper for the next elections, a 50 percent of the spanish people are undecided to vote most of than because the miss spirence because they are young ages 18 or under 18. The latino reprecent an important paper in the elections only if all of than vote but as i say most of than are undecided so it wont goin repprecent a big change.

    This week I read a article about the Secratary of State Election between Elaine Marshall and Richard Burr. This election is going to interesting to me. A reason why is you already have a women holding office. Then you have this man coming in and trying to take it. So I wonder wons goiong to take it all. If North Carolina think that its time for a man to hold office or do they think that Mrs. Marshall is doing a good job. :) So everyone VOOTTTTEEE ! Its important. :)

    This article is all about latino voter. Most latino want to vote for democrats about 66%. Some latino are still thinking about the election about 33% (us 50% of others). But some are plan to vote about 50% (us 70% of other voters). But some are don't care about voting.

    I think it is not good because every latino should vote. Every body have chance to vote but only who are citizen. You are not allow to vote if your from somewhere ele's, you must be a citizen and over 18 years old.

    After making an impressive improvement Maryland's critiques are wondering if its enough to help Ehrlich.McCartney said the Republican was energetic and informal and that Ehrlich "scored some points and helped enliven the race." Ehrlich seems to be more down to earth, he still does everything that everyday people do."It's tough," he said. "Nobody deserves a medal for this, but to put yourself out there, put your ego out there, put your family out there ... to run at this level, put yourself out there at this level, is not easy, particularly in our situation with young kids." He makes so many sacrifices to become governor.

    Nationally, latinos make up an estimate 16 percent of the population and in the elections about half may stay in home.

    so i think every latino need vote because the latinos live in us too.

    Latino 16% of population vote. 66% would vote for democrats. 33% are thinking about the elections (50% of other voters). 50% plan to vote (US. 70% of other vote). People think Latino aren't motivated this because it their first year so they don't know what to do and think about it. I think it so hard for them to think because voting is a big things.

    it's all about Latino people who's living in United State America.those people are tried to vote, but most younger people were still don't care about voting and the way they live.

    I think this is pretty good for a person who's living in United State,and can voting for election.but that's not really good for younger people who's still confusing about voting and doesn't care about anything.that is really sad for them that they cant see..

  26. The article i read about was about Oprah Winfrey and how she is trying to help Jon Stewart.Saying “I think we need a little bit more sanity in the world,” Oprah Winfrey endorsed Jon Stewart’s coming rally by offering to send every member of his studio audience on Thursday night to Washington. To me this article is very interesting becuase i really wouldn't think that Oprah Winfrey would actually help a late night show out with a election.

  27. Aung San Su Kyi is the only one freedom leader of the Burma. And she is daughter of genary Aung San Su Kyi. Aung San Suu Kyi is the only one hope for get democracy. We think she is the one can help my people and country. She help to get democracy in Burma but the goverment didn't want her to do it or make it. That's why the government arrest her about 22 years. The goverment doesn't want her to get democracy. We don't have democracy, no freedom and can't vote who we want to be the goverment. The president Obama said," No fair election and they should free to Aung San Su Kyi".

    I think I can go back Myanmar and help and save my people. And also I'll try to get democracy. Therefore, I studying in USA and finish my education. I wish I can attend law or public policy college. After I get degree, I'll go back to my country. I know that I'll be the one of democracy leader one day. I wouldn't ever give up to get democracy. I will be there untill we get democracy. I am not afraid to die for what I doing. I don't care if they put me into the jail. I will die for my people and my country if I have to. Aung San Su Kyi is very smart and brave. I wish I will be like Aung San Suu Kyi. Aung San Suu Kyi is the one who against with the Burma goverment to get democracy. But one day there will be two people who fight Burma goverment and try to get democracy. Those people will be Aung San Suu Kyi and me.
    P.S: I want every body to know about Aung San Suu kyi and my country goverment. I want every body want to know about our country's law and what is happing in burma. Please compare your country law or govetment and my country law or our goverment.
