Public Opinion

Where would be if there were no public opinion? Public opinion is an important aspect of democracy and it has allows American people to have many freedoms.

Public opinion is giving us the right to vote for candidates of your choice and choose whatever party you want to be affiliated with. Not only is our voice heard on a national level, but also a state level. Our government, state elected officials, as well as ways to improve our society is public opinion. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press and freedom of expression is influenced by public opinion. Campaigns are supported by the American people and the media has a huge voice in influencing public opinion. There are many countries that do not have a democracy like we do, and those countries do not have any public opinion influences. They cannot be different religions, or have a say in who will be elected to run their society. America is blessed to have the advantage of public opinion.
 
The new budget cuts announced this week was very disturbing.  Candidates will do anything or say anything to win public opinion to be elected in office.  Our Governor this past election promised that education would not see anymore budget cuts and won the public opinion.  Now he is in office and just announced the largest education budget cut in Colorado's history.  Disappointing to see that our children will now suffer in the classroom and more hard working Americans will be with out a job.  I came across an article that upsets me more about this budget cut.  A bill still has not been passed to ban welfare cards at strip clubs.  Here we are supporting people on welfare, but they spend that money at strip clubs?  How does that make sense?  here is the URL to the article
