The scene is Florida,
2000 presidential election and controversy erupts when George Bush is elected
president. When George Bush was elected he was elected based on electoral votes
and not popularity votes. It was ironic how when Bush was running for president
that his cousin was the one in control of the votes in Florida. I believe Bush
won because he made it impossible for the people to vote who would vote against
him. Such as jail prisoners and low class people. Al Gore was to soft he should spoke up for himself when he felt like things was wrong. Now he is
living in regret he should been more cautious because they declined many
votes from Al Gore. George Bush brother he was also the governor while Bush was
in running for becoming president. Al Gore had the most popularity votes
because he was more sincere and didn't only care about the upper class .Al Gore
thought about helping others who needed help. If at the time Florida had the IRV
George Bush wouldn't have been elected. Because he had 47.9% of the votes and
if you put Al Gore Votes and Dane votes together it would've been 50% of the
votes not the most but the majority. They wouldn't have the plurality most of
the votes they would have the majority of the votes. This marked the fourth
election in U.S history in which the eventual winner failed to win plurality of
the popular vote. Later research showed that the request from Al Gore campaign
in their contest brief and set by the Florida Supreme court, Bush would have
most likely won the recount any way. If Al Gore was elected for president I think
that things would be better to this day and the economy wouldn't be so messed
up now. Bush made a mess that still to this day our new president is trying to
fix.
The purpose of this blog is to document my learning in my economics class of the issue of sustainability and economic justice.

Presidential Debates
1. Can you recall why the League of Women Voters Lost control over the Presidential Debates? T he League of Women voters, was a genuine non-partisan entity, our voice, the voice of the American people in the negotiation room, and time and time again, The League had the courage to stand up to the Republican and Democratic campaigns to insist on challenging creative formats, to insist on the inclusion of independent candidates that the vast majority of American people wanted to see, and most importantly, to insist on transparency, so that any attempts by the Republican and Democratic parties to manipulate the presidential debates would result in and of enormous political price.
2. Can you explain how that changed how the debates are organized?
That changed how the debates are organized because it made the league of women voters feel a specific way about certain situations in the government.
3. Can you predict the outcome if third party candidates were allowed into the debate? If not now, what information would you need? What are the Democrats and Republican afraid of? If the third party candidates were allowed in the debate

You can contact them by mailing them at their address, call them or question them online
They get their information from U.S department
The authors have a reason to hold a view on my issue because they explain on how each country view free trade diffidently. It briefly explain each country and how much they earn or loose during free trade.They don't have a political bias because they don't state their opinion they explain facts or each country. Political bias would be talking bad about each country and not stating complete facts about them. They show countries from south america and north america and other countries as well.

International Trade Agreements
International Trade Agreements - In 1776, Adam Smith published the Wealth of Nations. Economist accepted that free trade among nations improve economic welfare. International trade allows each country to sell their merchandise cheaply to other countries.Free trade is not a benefit for everyone though. Sometimes it causes people to loose money there buisness may go bankcrupt so then therefore they forbid free trade agreements." Some of the groups that are hurt by foreign competition wield enough political power to obtain protection against imports. Consequently, barriers to trade continue to exist despite their sizable economic costs. "
