Summarize the debate in your own words.

I believe that if I had the choice of giving money to the "No Child Left Behind" campaign, I would. I would because I believe that no child should be left behind. All children should be given the best childhood of thier imagination.

[Angela Cunningham]

That's not what the debate is about. Read the article, then summarize what is said.

Some fedalism promblems that exist today would be the gay marriage problem in California. Federlism is between the states and the government such as between the senate and the state legislature some. Another issue is the power to hold wepons which is another Ferdalism problem. It is between the common good and between the idivisual right such as one person and the nation.

What are your feelings on the issue? Should it be decided by state or national governments? Why?

[kasan]

I'm not against gay marriage I'm for it because people can marry whoever they want to marry. I think it should be decided by the state government because the state government will decide what's best for their state.
