Last week President Barack Obama released his plan for averting the Fiscal Cliff. Needless to say it was not what the Republicans had in mind when they had the summit at the White House.
The Obama Administration updated an info-graphic online to outline their plan and set up a website that citizens can have direct contact with the administration. You can tweet at President Obama and ask questions that he will be answering over the coming days.
Today, Speaker Boehner released today a letter addressed to President Obama outlining the Republican's position on the Fiscal Cliff. They wish to implement the Bowles Plan. Calling for much needed spending cuts coupled with in depth tax reform to close corporate loop holes and encourage job growth here at home.
What do you think of this battle over preventing the Fiscal Cliff?
Which plan do you want to see implemented?

The Next 4 Years
So with the final convention just getting into full swing, I wanted to ask over all what is the most crucial hot button issue for you in the coming election? What will make the next 4 years better than the last?
Will Mitt Romney bring new policies to Washington that will grow the economy? He has good experience running multiple businesses and a state so it is quite possible that he could right the ship.
President Obama claims that his policies are just starting to work and the country is turning around. Do you feel that America should listen and not change leaders at this point?
Honestly this election is going to be close and you the American public is going to have to step up to the ballot booth and pick what you want for the next 4 years. Each side has good arguments for each of their plat forms and you all should look into them as the campaign continues.
The first step to choosing though is to be registered to vote. It's a quite painless process actually. You have to go to your County Clerks office and just sign a couple papers. You will need proof of residency such as a bill or a letter with your address on it as well as a form of Identification like a State ID or drivers licence.
Many states might have other requirements and also other places that you can go to register such as the DMV like here in Illinois.
When i go to vote i always remember a saying i heard a long time ago that pushed me to be active in our great country and i hope it helps you.

WILL YOU SHOW UP ON ELECTION DAY?!
