| Introduction | Growing up in the 90s and living in a single parent household where my mother’s main source of income was her high school teacher’s salary, it's probably no surprise that I have Solid Liberal political views. I've always felt that protecting the environment and the common person should be of the utmost importance for political officials. As a Liberal living in a conservative state, I keep informed in ways other than local sources: NPR, BBC News, John Stewart and, Bill Maher for instance. Though some of these outlets tend to be a bit one sided, I try to take extreme points of view with a grain of salt and form my own thoughts first. With that said, I know I still have a lot to learn, experience and, understand and look forward to further exploration of issues in this class. |
