Missing UCLA student

There is a missing student in California. She failed to returned after her run. She was last see at 6:30 wednesday. They are checking the cayons. She has no no known family, personal or boyfriend problems, police said. Her keys, phone and car were left at her home.

I think that is sad that people would harm other poeple. I think that is wrong. I hope they find her alive and well. I hope that who ever done this that they will think about before anything is done.

Arizona Immigration Issues

Arizona has made a law stating that cops could arrest immigrates if there is a suspicion. Arizona has a lot of illegal immigrates. The border state has become a gateway for millions of illegal immigrants and drug smugglers. Mexico’s drug wars are increasingly spilling over in Arizona.

I think that they have help the encomy alot. I also think if they want to be in the country, they should become Americans. They do the work that Whites won’t do, they pick the fields. If they didn’t do that then all of us would starve. I also think that if their children were born in America they thier children are American. I also think that if they are caught doing something bad then yes send them back to mexico.

Obama’s Arms Reduction Plan

The United States and Russia have reached a deal to slash thier nuclear arsenals after eight months of unexpectedly tough negotiations, sources close to the talks said Wednesday. President Barack Obama and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev, who ordered the negotiations begun last July, still must sign off on the agreement, White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Wednesday. The two leaders are expected to sign a treaty in Prague next month. The new treaty will replace the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 1991 and will set limits for the number of long-range deployed nuclear warheads, as well as the numbers of nuclear-capable bombers and missiles. The two sides previously agreed to reduce the number of long-range nuclear warheads deployed by each nation from a ceiling of 2,200 to between 1,500 and 1,675. The deal also would require each side to cut back their stock of strategic bombers and land- and sea-based missiles to 800, down from 1,600. The deal is the biggest step so far in Obama’s effort to scale back the world’s nuclear arsenals, and it is to be followed later by other reductions from the U.S. and Russia. The two nations’ arsenals represent 90 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons.

I think that it is not a good idea because as soon as the goverments sign it. Other countries will attack and we won’t be able to defend ourselves. Now they are thinking about reducing guns and firearms in the countries. I don’t think so. What is going to happen when the goverment will say you can’t buy firearms anymore? I will tell you people will go to other countries to buy them and use them and kill more poeple because the goverment said they couldn’t have them. People need to protect themselves from crazy people.

Heavy Hearts

The Rockies have heavy hearts. Keli McGregor, who had been the team’s president since 2001 and in the organization since Oct. 1993, was found dead Tuesday morning in a Salt Lake City hotel room. He was 48. The Rockies had a moment of silence in his honor. Colorado also honored its president by hanging a jersey with the No. 88 in the dugout. That was the number McGregor wore as a two-time All-American tight end at Colorado State. He also played briefly with three NFL teams. The Rockies say that they will be wearing memorial patches on their jerseys today. There is said to be not foul play.

It is sad that he died that young. I am glad that they are honoring him in the games this week.

The War in Darfur

 There has been a war in Darfur for about 7 years. The conflict in Darfur had erupted in 2003 after the rebels began an uprising against the Khartoum Government. The government launched a brutal counter-insurgency campaign, aided by the government-backed Arab militias that went from village to village in Darfur, killing, torturing and raping residents. Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is under pressure to end the fighting, particularly after the International Criminal Court charged him with genocide last year in connection with the government’s campaign of violence in Darfur. In the past seven years, more than 300,000 people have been killed through direct combat, disease or malnutrition, according to the United Nations. An additional 2.7 million people fled their homes because of fighting among rebels, government forces and allied militias.

I wish that the world would not fight anymore with each other. Why can’t the world come together? It is sad that people hate other people that much to kill one other. I think that is stupid. I think that the President of that country should be charge with murder for sending out his army to go around killing innocence people in his own country.

Driver in Aurora ice-cream shop crash sentenced to 60 years

Francis Hernandez in Aurora crashed into a ice-cream shop gets a sentenced of 60 years for causing an accident that killed three people in 2008. Before Arapahoe County District Judge John Wheeler handed down his sentence, Marat Kudlis, father of 3-year-old Marten Kudlis, who died in the crash, asked Wheeler to give Hernandez the longest sentence possible of 108 years in prison. Serecky’s husband, William,  also asked the judge to hand down the harshest penalty possible.

I think that he should go in for longer and after that he should go back to where ever he is from. I also think that people need to be more responsible in the world especially  if they have children. Children look up at the adults for examples to follow. I think that he need to apologize to his family, the people who losted  love ones in the accident. I think that car makers need to put in a tester for anything on the steering wheel, so that if they are drunk or high, then they won’t be able to drive. Then they won’t cause accidents and the death rate for crash will go down.

Health care bill

The government should not be involved with health care because that is another thing that tax payers money has to go to. The government is not going to let us have it for free. They will raise taxes so that the can pay for the bill and people barely pay taxes now, what makes you think that they will be able to pay them with the raise in taxes? I think that if they want to help the Americans they should think about the education program. Our jobs are going over seas because we don’t have enough people who have a good education. If they had a  education, then they could get a job and then they could pay for good  health insurance.

The bill will cost us 1.1 trillion dollars. I also think that doctors get pay too much money. I think that they just run tests so they can get money. Then that is when insurance is too high to pay. I also think that there is too many people who tried and go around the bill so that they don’t have to pay so much money.

The Colorado Budget

Colorado Legislature is half way through their 120-day session. House Speaker Terrance Carroll said Friday the biggest fight is yet to come as lawmakers prepare to balance next year’s budget in the midst of a revenue crisis. Lawmakers will have to cut other 1.5 billion dollars from the 18 million spending plan as they wait for the state’s latest revenue forecast due next week. They say that they will have to raise about 125 million dollars next year and help balance the budget. Colorado Legislature has a lot of work to do to balance the budget.

I think that it is cool that American wants to help other countries live a better life but what about Americans. I think that since we are in this crisis I think that all that money that we sent to Haiti should have stay in American. We are losing our education programs. No wonder our jobs are going overseas. States have to cut from the education funding each means that each district has to cut from its budget and there are no more schools.

The Colorado Budget Crisis

There is a budget crisis in Colorado. The state had to cut another 1.5 million dollars from the budget.  The tone changed when Democrats introduced a package of tax increases proposed by Gov. Bill Ritter to raise $125 million next year to help balance the budget. Lawmakers can’t impose new taxes on their own but these proposals eliminated or suspended a series of sales tax exemptions on things like candy and soda and online sales. They say that higher education will likely be facing more diffucult budget cuts.

I think that since the United States is in trouble i think that the people who make millions and Billions of dollars should donate their money to a education Fund so that education is not hit so hard. They wonder why are jobs are going over sea, it is because poeple are getting a proper education because they can’t afford it.

Massive rock slide

There was a massive rock slide on Interstate 70. The rock slide severly damged the road but it missed over night traffic. It is said that it will cost about $700,000 to fix the road. There was another rock slide in 2004 about in the same area. It is said that it would take up to two months to fix the road. Drivers have to drive an extra two hunderd miles.

If there was another rock slide before in the same area why did they not fix the problem before? I’m glad that it miss over-night traffic. It is going to cost alot of money to fix the road.  I would not want to drive an extra two hunderd miles becuase of a rock slide.
