The political ads do not affect me because the ads are typically negative. When making a decision it will typically come from watching the debates between the two parties. It will also depend on what they have in mind for the next four years. Facebook is nothing more than who is voting which direction. While on Facebook if I like an ad, saying, or picture, I will share with others. What also helps me when making a decision is listening to a.m. radio because they will not cover up stories. They will also tell me what is really going on rather than tv which just seems to cover everything up. Some people will want me to vote their direction. However, I do think for myself and do not need people telling how to vote. I will choose whoever I feel will do the best job. The person I choose will have to think very similar about how I feel about this country.

I have to agree with you on the facebook posts it is all about who is voting for who. Since I was a first time voter this year I wanted to stay informed. A lot of people my age say that we do not care about vote because we feel like it does not affect us. However, I feel like there are some issues that really do effect my generation. The most important to me was the one about school. I looked up what each of the candidates plans were to help future college students like me. I wanted to find who has the best plan for when I get out of college I will be in less debt. I think it is my responsibility to stay informed. Although I know that they word of the candidates can never be trusted. The reason for this is that I do not think it is even possible to change everything they want in a short four years. I mean you are in high school, and thinking back did you accomplish everything you want? Probably not. I know also that there is a high power telling you what you can and cannot do this is like the congress. The congress has a lot of power so it helps that the presidents do not get to much power. This is a good thing because it is all a balancing effect. I feel like it is our duty to stay informed so we can make the right choice not only for the president, but also the lower levels of government.
