The main fighters of this issue is the Obama-Biden Administration,  and various facets of Federal Governments.  The only way I could fight something like it is to take it to federal court because it is against many our state policy.

Practically every industry and special interest area hires lobbyists to represent and defend their interests in Washington. However, some industries frequently employ a special breed of lobbyist: those who previously worked for the federal government they are tasked with lobbying.

Some of these "revolving door" lobbyists once toiled as low-level congressional staffers or entry-level bureaucrats.

Others who lobby against revolving door users could be influenced.

2005-Present.

Currently, this has not been a good year for my legislature seeing, as though there have been thousands of budgets cuts all throughout the School District of Philadelphia. Numerous teachers have lost their jobs, several programs have been cut, and many quintessential pieces of education have been lost this year. Many of the elected leaders actually support what I am lobbying; the only issue is a lack of proper funding. In the past, elected officials haven’t been conscientious of their spending, which is why we are feeling the repercussions now. Mainly, my opponents are those who represent districts where funding is plentiful and can afford to spend money wherever they see fit. Currently, officials are getting rid of things that aren’t one hundred percent essential to the growth of the district.

            In my opinion, I would need to gain the support of state representative Ronald Waters and the superintendent of the School District of Philadelphia. With these two individuals supporting me, they most likely will have a large enough say over how money is spent throughout the district that it will have a meaningful impact or even change how the legislature is viewed by those it affects.

            I don’t know anyone personally that is lobbying the same topic as I am, but my plan is to travel down to the school district building and see who has the most influence in lobbying the same thing as I am. In my opinion, seeing as though I am only seventeen people may not take me seriously when I first bring my idea to someone’s attention. But as I continue to explain and show my knowledge of this topic, I think I can get the attention of those who attend meetings to discuss what are the negative and positive things pertaining to the well being of the district. I think I can have some meaningful progress towards my overall goal by the beginning of the next fall term for students.

The people are the stakeholders in the issue. People who are smoking are not only putting themselves at risk but they are putting others at risk. Many people smoke in public places therefore causing second hand smoke. Secondhand smoke is classified as a “known human carcinogen” (cancer-causing agent) by the US Environmental Protection Agency.( http://www.epa.gov/gateway/science/air.html)

Whether courts can enforce a federal statute governing how the Secretary of State is to record the birthplace of American citizens on passports and related documents; and whether a federal law instructing the Secretary of State, if requested to do so, to record the birthplace of U.S. citizens born in Jerusalem as Israel interferes with the President's authority under the Constitution to recognize foreign nations. Some facts about this is even though Israel was declared a state in 1948, the U.S. government has declined to recognize Jerusalem as the capital, deeming this a question to be resolved through diplomacy. In 2002, Congress passed a law that provided that "for purposes of the registration of birth … or issuance of a passport of a United States citizen born in the city of Jerusalem, the Secretary (of State) shall, upon request … record the place of birth as Israel." A passport is not today considered a diplomatic statement; it's an identification of a person in order to enable him to travel abroad. The petitioner in the case, M.B.Z., was born in Jerusalem to U.S.-citizen parents in 2002.  Although his parents asked the State Department to designate Israel as their son’s place of birth on his passport, it declined to do so despite Congress’s command to the contrary. When the parents took the issue to the courts, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit dismissed their claim on the ground that it raised a nonjusticiable political question:  the court of appeals explained that the “judiciary has no authority to order the Executive Branch to change the nation’s foreign policy” with respect to whether Jerusalem is part of Israel.

The problem here is, how can you stop poverty? Where to start? Many people believe that in order to stop poverty, and violence is to educate and inspire many children, young adults and even adults. About a year ago, I emailed people who worked for ANNA C. VERNA about finding solutions to this problem. The ONLY answer I was given was, “we cannot force parents to do their job, we cannot force our morals onto someone else’s household. But we can give these children a better education.” After, I decided to go to South Philadelphia high school and talk to the special education teacher, Mrs. DeAngelo-Leary. There she interviewed many students and asked them about their views on life. Many replied that there isn’t anything beyond the world they live in (living in poverty, getting pregnant etc.) Many of them attended South Philadelphia High because no one really cared about their children whereabouts or education.

According to philly.com Many educators received constant pressure and were urged by administrators to not report any incidents that occur in schools. This is part of the problem. Many people aren't willing to take responsibility. Some people decide to handle situations differently in different schools, therefore it makes it difficult to tackle the situation and fix it. 

 There is nothing we can do about this situation beside promote education, and try to point in the correct direction. We can only be a positive influence and try to inspire these children and young adults to be something or someone better.
