 * 1) Quality, affordable health care for all Americans. I agree with this because not everyone has enough money or not a lot of money to pay for expensive health cares. Health care is very essential and everyone needs to be able to have health care.
 * 2) Creating more college opportunities. I agree with this because it can be very difficult and expensive to get into colleges or even a college, i think we need to make it a little bit easier, and more college opportunities because everyone needs a college education.
 * 3) Stopping the flow of illegal guns. I do not think you should be able to carry a gun around, unless you are permitted to do so. It can be extremely dangerous.

__**Barack Obama: **__ I think he is the best president for the United States, i think this because he is the first president to actually do something about healthcare which is very essential to MANY American citizens. Another reason is that he believes in equality of all people, and supports that one hundred percent. Obama supports education by giving more flexibility to No Child Left Behind. Also by making college aid more available.

Many high school students get about 2-3 hours of homework, on top of that a ton of studying to do. Can you imagine how stressed they must feel? Study Hall is clearly the solution to these problems. Not only, does it reduce a load of stress off of the students it boosts their grade. This can lead to better G.P.A's and a tremendous chance for employment and a good collage. Homework and studying can take up a lot of time, and leave no room for extra cirricular activies they are interested in after school. I know every high school needs a study hall period within their daily routine.
