http://mhsramsgov.blogspot.com/2009/04/civil-liberties.html
AP Government and Politics- MHS. Monday, April 13, 2009. We don't have time for this discussion in class- we have a 13 slide powerpoint and are still only on slide 9! But I sensed it rising its head in class, even though ignored. We've been discussing civil liberties, consitutional protections, and citizenship. Here's your opportunity to air out your ideas on any and all of those issues. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What is an average day like in the life of a congress person?

AP Government and Politics--MHS: Brainwashing or Learning
http://mhsramsgov.blogspot.com/2009/03/brainwashing-or-learning.html
AP Government and Politics- MHS. Tuesday, March 17, 2009. This topic came up before break and it resrufaced today as I went off on a diatribe about abortion, federal spending, right to life, and other issues. Several students were uncomfortable with the topic, with my obviously biased viewpoints, and that I "forced my views" upon you. Isn't that what teachers do every day? Are some of those beliefs more insidious and latent than others? What effects does that produce in society? March 17, 2009 at 10:35 PM.

AP Government and Politics- MHS. Thursday, March 26, 2009. The bureaucracy is clearly the largest part of American government, yet it's not constitutionally mandated and the American public seems to be largely ignorant of its scope and duties. Make an argument for or against the bureaucracy. You MUST support your argument with a SPECIFIC example of how the bureaucracy helps or hinders American government. Tuesday, March 17, 2009.

AP Government and Politics- MHS. Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Senate and House of Representatives. So exactly how much money do these folks make? What other perks, benefits, and privileges.

AP Government and Politics- MHS. Thursday, August 30, 2007. It amazes me that no one has posted yet on this blog.oh well, at least you can check your homework. We've spent the week learning about the reasons why the American colonies began to resist and rebel against the British government. We should get through the first national governments, and the need to call a Constitutional Convention. You get to spend the next 5 days reading about the Constitution. Thursday, August 23, 2007. AP Government- Week 2.

AP Government and Politics--MHS: Please Pass the Pork
http://mhsramsgov.blogspot.com/2009/02/please-pass-pork.html
AP Government and Politics- MHS. Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Please Pass the Pork. What exactly is pork (besides a delicious, carnivourous delicacy)? Define pork barrell spending and log rolling. Find examples of pork and log rolling. What's wrong with pork? Isn't a form of "enlightened self-interest"? Once someone has defined the terms, only add to those definitions, or provide additional examples. And what exactly are some of the standing committees on congress? What do they do? Who is on them? Busin...

AP Government and Politics--MHS: Mock Congress
http://mhsramsgov.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-bill-becomes-law.html
AP Government and Politics- MHS. Monday, March 2, 2009. HOMEWORK: Draft a bill. Your bill should propose some course of action related to our Go Green initiative. Pick ONE particular course of action, and consider all aspects of that action (goals/outcomes, resources, methods, etc.) Be creative- we don't need 32 bills all about recycling plastic bottles. Well my bill consisted of the senior class banding together with FBLA/FFA and presenting our accomplishments and ideas etc.in workshops that they pa...
