Economy key issue, even as state results diverge
The passage that I just read was about Mitt Romney winning the Northeast on Super Tuesday. Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich won the Southern states. Most voters said that the economy is the biggest issue. In Ohio Romney claimed 4 in 10 voters. The passage included Virginia's electorate is the only state to have exit and entrance polls so far.
The passage connects to what we are studying in class by telling readers about the process of electing a president. In chapter 8 the founders tried to set up the government system. In the passage I just read is discussing about electing a president.
The passage connects to my life is we are getting ready to elect the new president. We are using the basic ideas that the founders thought of 100s of years ago.Whoever is going to become the next president might change the economy in a good way. That would effect me and my family future.
My opinion its pretty cool that they use the same idea that the founders made up way back when. The founders didnt even have running water but they could make up the rules of are government.It took a long time for this to happen but it was worth it.

Contractor sentenced for worker's comp fraud

Contractor sentenced for worker's comp fraud
http://www.nctimes.com/news/local/murrieta/murrieta-contractor-sentenced-for-worker-s-comp-fraud/article_6a41ee22-5ce9-5e1b-892d-26d3fc7517c9.html
The article that I chose for my current event is about a roofing contractor who was sent to jail for not paying his taxes and insurance fraud. He also forged documents by not being honest with the insurance company. He
paid workers in cash instead of a check.Plus he hired unlicensed employes. At the end he was caught for cheating with the state.
This article connects to what we studied in chapter five. We learned about the Intolerable Acts. Britain made the Intolerable Acts as a punishment for the colonist throwing the tea overboard. There was a punishment for breaking the law in 1774. Today in 2012 if you do a crime you go to jail.
The article connects to my life by many people telling me that if you lie or do something bad you will pay the consequences. I had to pay for something I did wrong. I lied to my mom and had to repay her the money she spent. In the article the roofing contractor committed a crime and now he has to pay the state $510,000 and he will go to jail for one year.
In my opinion I think the roofing contractor did a very bad thing to himself. I agree with the state in punishing people who commenting crimes. Most of the time you will get caught for what you've done wrong.

Egyptians blame military for deadly soccer riot

Egyptians blame military for deadly soccer riot
http://www.nctimes.com/news/national/egyptians-blame-military-for-deadly-soccer-riot/article_32f4d8cf-9aca-5f32-9d31-3736ba733294.html
This article addresses riots and police forces
This article talks about a riot that started after a soccer match in Egypt. Hundreds of people were hurt and seventy-four people were killed when a popular team lost. A group of hardcore fans called the Ultras said the police "intentionally let rivals attack them." The fans of the soccer team that won beat and stabbed the fans from the team that lost.
This connects to what we are studying in chapter five regarding the Boston Massacre. Both stories talk about angry mobs rioting, police showing up, and people dying. In the Boston Massacre the British soldiers shot at the mob. In the soccer game in Egypt the police didn't do anything to break up the fights.
This article connects to my life because I play soccer and I have been to games where the opposite team says comments to me that aren't nice. The parents sometimes yell across the field at my coach when they're losing. We haven't seen a riot yet but we have seen people get really mad after losing a soccer game.
In my opinion the sport of soccer shouldn't be like this. Games shouldn't end with people dying. People should be able without a risk of being beaten up for liking a soccer team.
