Take A Stand on an election issue. Identify one issue that you think is important this election and tell us Barack Obama’s stand, John McCain’s stand and most importantly YOUR STAND.

Global Warming is a HOT Topic these days..pros and cons..from Al Gore’s Movie “An Inconvenient Truth” to the record snowfall we had in Wisconsin this winter. Scientists stand on both sides of this issue, but they all agree that encouraging the world to act in a more responsible way ” Going Green” is a worthwhile idea. Being conscious of our impact on the earth is an important concept. Environmental awareness and new ways to act at home, work and play.
