So right now the Health Care BIll is going through a lot in the Senate. This past saturday [11.21] 60 of our senators voted yes for the health care bill. However, a lot of them have said that in the ongoing election they wont vote yes unless some parts of the bill are changed.
Election Day

On the front lawn of the apartment buildings they had a bunch of the candidates signs. As you walked up the path there were more signs, however they were all the same. No sign was really bigger then the other or trying to promote someone more then the other. There really wasnt anyone at the voting place. It was in the middle of the afternoon when I went with my mom. There were like 3 people there so it was calm. Back in 2008 the polls were all swamped. People were standing outside the door waiting to put in their vote. This voting process was a lot more calm.The reasons for it being a lot calmer was people were voting for judges mostly. This kind of campaign is obviously not as big as the one for president.

So far my House Bill is still being introduced. Both my State and city bill are in committee being looked at and haven't moved at all either yet.
If i had to pick one bill that could start moving forward it would be my city bill. My city bill focuses on the bike lanes in center city. This issue is bigger than it might seem. Bike safety is a big concern for a lot of people in Philadelphia. A lot more people are starting to ride their bikes around the city, and being assured that their safe is important. Knowing that the bike lanes are working for their safety is important to know because then it means we are putting an effective method out there that will keep them safe.

State Bill:
House Resolution 423
This resolution is urging congress to enact HR 422.
It's been referred to the veterans affairs and emergency preparedness.
City Bill:
Still in committee.
It seems that city bills are getting passed or adopted faster then any of the other bills. I lost one of my bills and it too ka while to find one that hadn't just been adopted. It looks like more of the attention is on city issues, not a lot of them are too big and they are easy to pass. Where as, state and house bills are more of a bigger deal and it takes a lot more people to agree and see the issues to be fit for them to pass and be adopted.
BILLS!.

Nothing has happened with any of my bills in the last week. They all are still being introduced. It doesnt seem like there is anything that they all have in common. Besides the fact that they are all laws or resolutions trying to get passed there isnt anything that ties them together specifically.
However, i lost my city bill so here is a new one...

House Bill:
So far the congress house bill that I chose has only been introduced. There hasn't been any action with it since it was introduced.
State Bill:
The state bill has remained the same, nothing has changed with it either.
City Bill:
Non of my bills have moved anywhere. I dont think that them being on different levels really effects them, I think it has to do more with how important they are and what the government seems to care more about.

There is a controversy over if race has to deal with why people are faster than others. For instance in a lot of people who win the worlds fastest runner or relays are usually black. Does this mean that black people somehow are faster then everyone else? NO, here's why. A man by the name of William Saletan wrote an article on a test thats being marketed in the U.S. The test was made to see if you can tell whether a child is meant to play sports and if so maybe even what kind. The test looks at a specific gene ATCN3. Some people were arguing that it didnt have to do with the gene but the race of the athlete instead.

Art to me is the creation of something that when first looked might just be a glimpse. What i mean is art is turning something you might look at to something you see. Basically everything you see is art. It might not always be art in the eye of someone else, but it might be to you. Turning how i feel and my thoughts into art is my expression of showing what i see in my life. Not only is the process part of that but it's also the final product. Starting a piece isn't always easy but when it's finished and you can look at it and be like, wow i can see, feel and know what that piece means, means you created a masterpiece.
