Question Of The Week Current Event #1

The political party that I most closely align myself with is the Democratic Party. There are many different reasons why I support the Democratic Party. I agree with health care reform and the federal government expanding into this area. Every American should have the right to affordable health care. Also Democrats are opposed to incentives for big oil companies and favor investing in renewable energy. I believe that we need to find another way to produce energy because fossil fuels are becoming depleted and releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. In contrast with the Republican Party which believes we should spend more money investing in fossil fuels such as offshore drilling. As we saw in the Gulf of Mexico with the Deepwater Horizon this can be a risky operation and end up destroying the environment and millions of people’s livelihoods.
