-Hawaii -Democrat Daniel Kahikina Akaka -Hawaii -Democratic party I chose Daniel Kahikina Akaka because we agree on the same issues, such as education and healthcare. He is a strong supporter of higher education and professional training. His idea to ensure students are prepared to meet global challenges is to increase educational opportunities in STEM and foreign languages. He feels these efforts should be a high priority. Senator Akaka is focused on eliminating health care disparities, particularly regarding to Native Hawaiians, Native Americans and other unrepresented populations.

I think the next President should be Mitt Romney. I would vote for Mitt Romney because I feel that he cares the most about rebuilding our economy. He claims by reducing taxes, government spending, government regulation, and government programs our nation’s economy will improve. His plan would allow more trade, energy production, and labor flexibility. It would relinquish some power to the states instead of claiming to have the solution to every problem. I feel that if Mitt Romney does what he is telling America he will do, our nation’s economy will be improved.

There are many issues going on in America. Personally, I think that our biggest issue is the economy. To help improve the economy I believe the U.S. needs to create more jobs and with more jobs we can manufacture and produce more goods here in the U.S. not importing them from other countries. Another issue in America is health; many young citizens are becoming obese. To improve Americas health, schools should start selling all natural non-deep fried food and citizens need to start eating right and working out to get in shape and prevent obesity. Inaddition, to help reduce the consumption of deep-fried foods we should eliminate some fast food restaurants, such as McDonalds and Burger King, and replace them with healthier alteratives like Subway. I also think of education as an issue. When comparing the students of the U.S. to students in Europe and Asia, they are by far smarter than students in the U.S. This is true is due to the fact that in European and Asian countries, good students are seperated from the disruptive students; allowing students who actually want to learn can. Additionaly, having smaller classes may result in students learning more and ultimately create more jobs.
