Politics at Wittenberg

To be honest, I am not interested in politics as much as I should be. Many of the issues such as the economy, women's rights and healthcare affect me and I should pay more attention and be more informed. It is hard to make myself read the news or even watch television because it is hard to tell what is true and what is slander. It was interesting to see how much my classmates knew in regards to the major issues and it made me realize how important it was to be well informed for the upcoming Election. Since I plan on voting in the Election I know it is extremely important for me to become well informed about each issue and how the candidates stand on each issue. When I do read about politics I go straight to the Internet, which I found that many of my classmates do too. I prefer AOL because I find their layout easy to use and their stories to be trustworthy. What turns me off though are the incessant commercials on television where each candidate just bashes the other one. I get frustrated with the fact that the candidates are not preaching what they could do for their country, but instead are bringing down their opponent. I am excited to hear everyone's stories on this subject because I hope they will motivate me to read further information on the upcoming Election.
