Today I helped work the booth during first lunch. Tomorrow I'll probably be doing the same since I think all the presenting is finished.

Today we finally finished the poster we had been working on the past couple of days. We also went and presented to a classroom. During lunch i explained to my friends about the project and now they're writing their own letters as well. Tomorrow I will probably present more.

Today again we worked more on the poster and still weren't able to finish it. Tomorrow we will either be presenting to classes, working the booth, or walking around lunch and talking to people to convince them to write a letter.

On Friday we started drawing the poster and started to color it but we didn't finish. To prepare for Monday we are going to bring more ideas for posters.

"We Are Better Than That!"

This video was just insane. Dale Peterson is a Republican and he says the Democrats are a bunch of thiefs who steal the signs of his supporters in the middle of the night. He says Republicans mean "Business" and takes out a gun. He plans to raise employment and get rid of immigrants who are stealing those jobs.

Citizens Against Government Waste 2010 Commercial

First of all, this video really scared me. The Chinese man is talking how America is losing itself and slowly losing power to the Chinese. When he said "America is working for us" and the whole crowd of Chinese laughed, it gave me goosebumps. Everyone is starting to realize the reality of our situation.

Education Political Cartoons

In the political cartoon there are 3 high school students commenting on the drop out rate of high schoolers. They all look like lazy guys with uncaring faces. One of the guys says he can't believe that 30% of high schoolers drop out and the other guy comments that it's about half. And the last guy says he doesn't care because he plans to work for China when they take over. The cartoon pictures American students as not so smart (the guy believes 30% is half) and that China is gaining a lot of power and soon will overtake America. 

I found this cartoon interesting because it reminded me of our project of how schools can become more effective. The mother is upset about her sons grades and the son believes money will solve the problem.
