Um....

Yeah, so i just finished my first two finals (lmao thats such an oxymoron if you think about it...) and they were pretty easy. Speech and debate i had to give a speech to the president as if he were sitting in front of me. Mr. President, as an American citizen, I believe that the United States needs to partially fund the American Civil Liberties Union in their fight to promote equality. The American Civil Liberties Union, or ACLU, is an organization founded in 1920 that is dedicated to the equality of civil rights as defined for Americans by our Constitution’s Bill of Rights. According to ACLU.org, their mission statement is reasoned by the belief that if the rights of society’s most vulnerable members are denied, everybody’s rights are imperiled. Our American values are based on our forefather’s belief that all men are created equal, and this organization truly takes this to heart by fighting for the rights of all in a peaceful manner. They bring over 6,000 civil rights cases to our nation’s courtrooms every year. The ACLU is basically funded by the membership dues owed to them. I did some research and as a minimum, the 400,000 members of the ACLU pay at least $20 for their membership dues. These dues not only pay for their nationwide offices, but also for many of their lawyers. These 400,000 membership dues bring in a little over $8,000,000, and with more than 6,000 court battles a year, that’s about $1,333 per case. These figures don’t even factor in office expenses. Court cases are also extremely expensive. For example, a contested divorce case with custody issues which settles before trial date can cost an average of $75,000. Coming back to the $1,333 that civil rights cases receive, the ACLU membership dues are $73,667 short of paying for just a divorce case. Therefore, I’m asking you, Mr. Bush, to propose and sponsor a bill to be introduced to Congress that would ask for funding from the Compassion Capital Fund of the Health and Human Services budget, which consists of $100 million for the efforts of community based organizations, to go to the ACLU in their fight to promote equality. I leave you with a quote known as the preamble of the United States Constitution, written by our founding-fathers: “We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our prosperity, do Ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.” I'm wicked happy cuz i think i did really really good on it. the only thing i messed up on was when i said 4,000 members instead of 400,000 members, but i only did it once, so i dont think mr. allen noticed. The written part was pretty easy, too. Then i hung out with adam and richard between finals and studied for math while i attempted to eat some breakfast. The alg. final was pretty easy. i only didnt get like 3 questions. I couldnt remember the formulas for point-slope, two-point, and all those :/. Oh, did i mention my ipod was stolen on monday!? yeahhh it sucks, a lot. considering i only have two days left to find it, i'm screwed. :(
I'll just do a survey and then study for my lit final for tomorrow.
