The Clean Elections Act Does Not Live Up to Its' Name
Clean Elections is an act that was passed by the people of Arizona in the year 2000. The act helps out candidates who want to run for a campaign in Arizona but don’t have the necessary funds to compete against candidates who are wealthy. The Clean Elections Act uses public funds both donated and what comes from the tax payers. The money is accessible to anyone needing campaign funding but they must raise 5000 signatures to be able to use the public’s money. In this paper I am going to give you good examples on how there are several loop holes in the accounting process in the Clean Elections Act.
Clean Elections does not mean clean campaigning, even though most people would agree that the Clean Elections Act is a good idea, but as years go by there are many problems associated with this new act. For example, candidates in the year 2000 used public funds to degrade their opposing competitors. The money is strictly set up for people to use for campaigning and not for uses as what occurred in 2000. The Act was made for people to campaign easy, no body thought these kinds of processes would follow but no one put the time and effort into really seeing what would happen with free public money.
The Clean Elections Act is not holding up to its name. Candidates of the Clean Elections law are abusing the right of the free public money. Candidates in Arizona have failed to report some of the campaign accounting numbers and expenditures. Since the year 2000, there have been eleven candidates using the Clean Elections law and there have been five written complaints about candidates who are not reporting where the public money is going. This is a pretty big deal considering that the funds are for public usage not just for random spending. The fact is that the Clean Elections Act was intended for an easement of average candidates but instead has become an accounting nightmare.
The Clean Elections Act actually has a few loop holes to the system such as when the candidate becomes elected they do not really have a budget except that of the public campaigning money.
There has been a great deal of opposition to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) which the nominees are eager to address. For instance, Governor Fallin has criticized this system very publically stating that the system is broke, and the wrong answer to the “health care problem”. Since the passing of the ACA, Fallin has fought
human lives. War is a dreadful thing, the trauma that victims endure, and the effects that it brings on the warring nation is horrendous. I have chosen this topic because I want to shed light on the devastation and pain that war brings, and what some preach in the name of peace. Specifically, I will be focusing on the aspects of government intervention, decisions and agendas on war. Generally, when we think of war, the first thing that comes to mind is the all powerful USA. Be it in the name of national
Society remembers historical figures for many things, but these reasons boil down to two basic ideas: those who contribute to more tangible contributions such as in science, politics, and acts, and those who contribute to the arts, ideas, and direct influence. While many fit into one of two categories, a select few breaks the status quo and make an impact that goes above and beyond mere groups such as these. On February 6, 1911, Ronald Reagan was born to a poor family in Tampico, Illinois. Following

As stated earlier, the group may form an alliance with another group who have the same goal in mind, so as not to hurt the others efforts. The larger affect that an interest group
Gender roles and relationships play such a big part in today’s society. While some people still live by traditional values, others are behaving in a more modern way. As we have witnessed in our readings, there are many different aspects of gender roles that make up the way men and women interact and get along with each other. In this essay, I will explore the behavior and expectations of traditional gender roles and compare them to more modernized relationships, describe personal examples of these

today’s teens. They are naming a singular music artist to be a current incarnation of the primal evil; they refer to the man born as Brian Warner, but known by teenagers everywhere as Marilyn Manson. Marilyn Manson fronts a music rock band of the same name that in no uncertain terms preaches hate for everything: hate for family, hate for government, hate for society, hate for religion, and to some, the most threatening of all, hate for self. “I’d hate the hater, I’d rape the raper,” screams Manson on
the idea of death people will act in different ways some may find it therapeutic to apologize for the negative they have done, some may want to spend time with loved ones to ease the future pain, and others may decide that their life was not what they believed.

Unnecessary power is evil, unnatural and human; it can change everything and in most cases not for the better. Power to humans has become something used to bend the world to their will for a little comfort or leisure. It’s unclear who the real victim is, does power make a human do bad things or does a human do bad things with power? Both are true, many tragic stories begin with a man trying
citizens of the United States cannot get what they want from the current major parties. Because of this, a total reconstruction of the current political structure is in dire need. In response to this need, the New Federalist party has been formed. The name "New Federalist" has been chosen to express the party's foremost concern. This is to restructure the government into the form that the framers of the Constitution meant for it to be in. The basis of this restructuring comes from the 10th amendment

This appears to fit more with the statements about the disciples than with Jesus' description of himself as the vine.Ezek. 17:5-10 contains vine imagery that refers to a king of the house of David, Zedekiah, who was set up as king in Judah by Nebuchadnezzar. Zedekiah allied himself to Egypt and broke his covenant with Nebuchadnezzar (and therefore also with God), which would ultimately result in his downfall (17:20-21). Ezek. 17:22-24 then describes the planting of
GLOBALIZATION AND THE QUESTION OF SERVITUDE IN ARAVIND ADIGA'S THE WHITE TIGER Abstract This paper examines the way in which Aravind Adiga's The White Tiger acts as a harsh critique of the notion of the “New India,” which is still plagued with a system of servitude and rampant political, economic, and social corruption. It also sheds light on the social, economic, and cultural impact of globalization on the poor of India, particularly in terms of its role in widening the gap between the upper
