1) His role will change because he is now against things that are becoming a big deal right now.
2) Joe is working on not having gay marriage and to keep peoples rights to owning guns.

BellRinger 11-6-14

1) I feel like the state made a good decision because they need a new point of view in the seat.
2)I feel like she could be very helpful. Yes she might be a little behind because of her age and knowledge, but as she learns I feel like she will become a very good and helpful person to make decisions.

1) This lady was suffering from a dieses and was not going to get better so she tried to get euthanized. With this people thought it was wrong to want to kill yourself. Arguing the matter people tried to bring religion and all kinds of things into the desiccation. Finally she got her way and passed November 1st with her friends and family by her side.
2) Once again they try and bring in religion and the gift of a human life.
3) I believe she did what she thinks is best and it's her right to choose how she dies when she was suffering.

BellRinger 10-30-14

1) This article talks about how they want to change a law with people being voted in. The thing is that this law has been around for so long.
2) To a point I kind of go along with some of the things they want to change. Then on the other hand I feel like it should just be left alone.

BellRinger 10-29-14

1) This semi supports what I believe. Yes they have to go through court and things but there should not be people like that in this world.
2) Honestly it doesn't matter what I think because they will do what they want anyways. To me I feel like the court will do what ever it takes to make things easier on them.

BellRinger 10-28-14

1) This site is talking about the really dumb laws that states have made. On top of the laws the government brings upon us we don't need these dumb things people randomly come up with. These rules just show how messed up some of the people in the united states really can be. Honestly they make you laugh a little but when someone does something and then refer to those laws there will be a big argument about it.

BellRinger 10-27-14

1) They want to give him the death penalty because he didn't try helping any of the other people.
2) I do agree with him needing to die because he clearly didn't do anything right.

BellRinger 10-14-14

1) The purpose for his short little films is to inform people about everything that is going on. Also it lets you watch it on many different sites so everyone can watch it if they choose.

BellRineger 10-13-14

1) Honestly no this doesn't surprise me at all. People will always try there best to ruin things for someone else in life or to destroy how people look at things.
2) No matter what you do someone will be able to access your information and mess with the things you do or say. No you are not safe with anything.

BellRinger 10-9-14

1) This tells us that people really don't think straight. Why in the world would you buy a burger that cost that much money? Honestly makes the human raise look like total idiots.
2) If this burger was given to me I might try it just because I love food and like to take one challenges. Now if I went to a restaurant and I had to buy it most likely wouldn't even look at it on the menu.

BellRInger 10-8-14

1) Honestly I am not surprised by the findings of this. This is more then likely been an on going problem that does need to be fixed in the right way.
2) I feel like they should go through with paying the waiters more money and not just letting them rely on tips.
3) They should look over all the claims that have been brought up and start trying to push this to become a law about everyone getting paid a fair price for the work they do.

BellRinger 10-15-14

1) The article states that college students should look for employment in these jobs at are going to shoot off around 2017. This giving them a better chance to make it into those fields and give them a better paying job.

1) I think that if this is what the lady wants then let her. She doesn't want to suffer and I feel like she is trying to do what is best for her family too.
2) I don't see it as suicide because she is going to die soon anyways. She would just rather ended it to save people money, save her pain, and just keep her family in a better piece of mind.
3) I feel like she is making a very smart and hard choice. She was very brave to go with this.

BellRinger 10-6-14

1) These articles are attempting to tell you about the little adds on social media and how they can cause all kinds of problems.
2) I feel like the adds should be removed and blocked from the sites because of all the different problems with them.

BellRinger 10-3-14

1) I think who ever came up with the idea is mentally dumb and just needs to leave Belington now before people hurt them.
2) This is a big violation of a lot of everyone's rights. Honestly how could you come up with something so dumb.
3) Everyone would just move out of Belington and go to Philippi and then our city would be screwed.

BellRinger 10-2-14

1)  They are not worried because it hardly ever happens and they don't think it could travel this far.
2) I honestly think America should be worried about all the sicknesses that go around because we are all so close and together and something could spread very fast.
3) I will just make sure and keep up with the news and how its doing but other then that there is not much I can do about it all.

BellRinger 9-30-14

1) I feel like things are going to get more confusing with trying to prove that both people actually said yes.
2) I fell like it will be easier for people to be accused of rape. Things will only get worse and people will be blaming each other left and right.

BellRinger 10-1-14

1) No I do not believe he should have been penalized for it. That is his beliefs and he does what he wants.
2) This violates the freedom to your religion in every way possible.
3) I would let someone who wants to pray to let him pray. He has the right to do it so we shouldn't make such a big deal out of it.

1-10 Amendments: On the Next Docket: How the First Amendment Applies to Social Media.
In this article a man uses his Facebook page to express his feelings and to share his love for expressing music. So he claims, but after his ex wife saw these posts that mention her name she was offended. She says "I felt extremely afraid for my children’s, family’s, and my own life.” as the article states things this man thought in his head. He claims that he wouldn't but the lyrics into action, but the fact he was just trying to express the emotions in a way people could imagine.http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/01/us/politics/supreme-court-facebook-rap-lyrics-free-speech.html?_r=0

1) They are protesting about not having the right to choose the person that leads them.
2) They want the right to vote for the person they believe in more. To have a say in how they live is what they are striving for.

BellRinger 9-25-14

1) I think the president was trying to make peace between all the country better but he just ended up aggravating people and their own opinion.
2) I feel like he is going to make things worse and cause more a fight between everyone.

BellRinger 9-23-14

1) It is important to have those kind of allies because they can get in and find out information for our side.
2) I have a feeling they won't be to happy and they might try and retaliate.

BellRinger 9-22-14

1) No I do not believe that 16 year old kids should have the right to vote. I only say this because I think kids that age wouldn't be ready to make such a big decision for our country.
2)I think the age now is a good thing and I think it should just stay the same.

BellRinger 9-15-14

1) Honestly I feel like more kids now should be whipped. Things now a days are getting out of hand and a big part is because kids get away with a lot because their parents don't punish them.
2) The views are different because people always feel the need to complain about something and make this worse. Yes this man shouldn't have whipped his kid in front of all his students, but whipping your kid isn't bad because they need to learn we can't keep having people act the way they do these days. You could just walk up to someone and have a small conversation and you can automatically tell if they were made to have respect for other people or not.

BellRinger 9-12-14

Honestly I feel like things are getting worse between everyone. America is getting stuck in the middle of everything and we are going to end up getting hurt. This news doesn't surprise me really because I know people are not happy with how they are treated and how the government is controlling their situations. Something needs changed and done soon about our country or else we are going to be stuck in a hole we won't be about to get out of.

BellRinger 9-8-14

In this article it talks about a man who used to be a spy in World War II. It gives details on how he got away from Hitters take over on Germany. Then Fred Mayer enlisted in the army and became a spy for the war. This also goes through the things he went through and how he got away from everything.

BellRinger 9-2-14

1) No I'm not surprised that someone has hacked celebrities like this.
2) Honestly I do not think before I post but I never post things that would be offensive to someone.
3) Yes I think something should be done to the people that hacked them because that is a crime of invasion of personal things.  

BellRinger 9-3-14

1) In this case  a women got caught drinking and driving. She clearly didn't pass her tests by the cops and was arrested and put in jail for 20 days. But a very high political man some how got in the middle. The lady that got arrested was in charge of a political group ]. Rick Perry told her that if she didn't step down from the seat that he would stop the funding for this program. She didn't step down and he followed through but now all eyes are on him. This group did checks on political people in Texas which where he is governor. So now people think he only did this to try and cover up something.
2) In a way I agree with his logic but he just out his self in a rough spot. He should try and get someone in the place of that lady fast so it doesn't look like he is trying to get out of something worse.

BellRinger 8-27-14

This article was about a nail polish that could save women on a girls day out. No one would ever think they would get drugged but it happens a lot now a days. This product gives women a chance to get away from situations like these. Honestly I think this nail polish is a wonderful idea. What if your on a date with some random guy and you have to use the bathroom. Who knows what that guy is like or what he is capable of. If you have this nail polish on you don't have to take any chances!

BellRinger 9-4-15

1) This will make America look and search India a lot more and most likely send troops over there to keep things in line.
2) They are probably targeting India because of the connections they have.
3) I feel like the U.S. should keep a very close eye on India and the surrounding areas.

Residents were shaken awake by the magnitude-6.0 earthquake that hit around 3:20 a.m., the worst temblor to shake the Bay Area in 25 years. At least 172 people had serious injuries at a hospital, and three were in critical condition. The quake has resulted in losses that top $100 million. Even though they had went through this stores opened up very soon after they were cleared.

BellRinger 8-26-14

In Iraq, the U.S. military coordinates with Iraqi forces in carrying out airstrikes against the militants. The strikes are limited to protecting U.S. personnel and supporting humanitarian efforts. This causing very many complications between Iraqi and our military.

BellRinger 8-29-14

1) Honestly the person to blame is who ever let this little girl shoot such a high powered gun. Yes I believe kids can shoot guns but not something a grown man is barley able to keep contained.
2) Yes there is nothing wrong with a young kid at a shooting range learning how to shoot but it's the fact that they gave her such a high powered gun for this range.
3) A gun is a gun it can hurt people no matter what but no a child should not have such an intense gun and be shooting it. Adults should be aloud to have them because this deals with hobbies and collections.

http://www.alsa.org/news/media/press-releases/ice-bucket-challenge-082014.html

1) I feel like this challenge is very good because once someone tagged you to do the ice bucket challenge it makes people wonder and look up what this disease actually is and how hurtful it truly is to so many people.
2) Over all the videos I watched everyone says they still are going to donate even though they are getting a cold bucket of water poured on there head. The ALS website is doing nothing but raising awareness and that is all they are asking. If you want to donate money it is completely up to you.

Bell Ringer 8-20-14

1) This article is talking about how someone spoke up about the problem of the United States taxes. Telling how no one should set up a company in our country because other countries are cheaper.
2)Taxes is to pay for the things in your communities  and government.
3)Honestly I think the people in office and these people that always get away with paying the less should pay more taxes. It's not far for a hard working family trying to stay afloat to pay for things other people just don't feel like doing.

BellRinger Letter to yourself

Dear Elyse,

After my last long year of high school I plan on staying busy. College is a must for the field I want to be in so in August 18th of 2015 I most likely will be moving into my new home. Leaving the place I know best will be a big step but a very exciting one. Honestly I am more ready for this new experience then most of my class mates I have talked to. Before this big change and during it I have a goal to be in great shape. For college I plan on playing soccer and I want to be the best athlete I can for my team. If I step onto that field I want to be ready for anything the coaches throw at me. Also I want to manage my time better so I can do my best in my classes so i can reach my goal of having the job I want. I believe in the people that love to get up in the mornings just for there job and I want to feel the same.After I own a farm, a few trucks, and have a job I love I will have reached my top goals. I expect myself to be the best I can during school and sports. It will be a lot of hard work and time but the reward will be great.

1) One mistake is when they said they would release the name of the officer at a certain day. The second mistake was when they said they boy put up a fight and made him sound like he tried to hurt the officer.
2) Honestly excessive force was used during the shooting because the officer just shot the first person he saw just because he was black. He should have been more careful and followed what they are trained to do.
3) I would restore the order by bringing the cop out and giving him the consequences he should get. If you want the right of having a badge you have to use it like your supposed and not lie about what happened.
