The Project!!

We are students at Spanaway Lake High School in an AP Govt. and Politics Class. Our assignment is to create a political blog in which we discuss the 2008 election and the issues surrounding it. Many of the issues surrounding the 2008 election affect the country, and since we will be able to vote in the upcoming 2008 election it is important for us be educated on the issues in order to make a responsible decision on election day.
