Blog 4

“What is the 19th amendment” by Alex Palomeo, a blogger for Huffington Post, is claiming that Texas Republicans are deeming women from voting, since Wendy Davis is now running for Governor. Palomeo explains the examples of how Republicans are disenfranchising women from voting. One by having an updated id- which can be disadvantaging to women since they may be married, and won’t have time  to change their name on their id, once their married. She also states that women have the correct documents stated if their married, divorced, or/and a court ordered name change, which is discouraging to many women since they are the ones that have to change their name while going through marriage or divorce. Palomeo’s audience was targeted to women in Texas and also women in general, since there is a woman running for a higher, greater position of Texas and is an advocate for women right to have an abortion. Her belief is to not have the required qualification of voting among women with ids, since it’s easily discouraging to women and lowers women’s chance of  voting, which is unfair, therefore I agree that this new requirement for voting, shouldn’t be allowed. I’m a big fan of Davis, and want her to win, but I feel like Texas republicans are scared of Davis because she’s a female, and a strong advocate for getting more female voters than male voters. I feel like they aren’t letting women have a chance at running the state. Its intimidating to male politicans.

Blog 2#

From Huffington Post, Moises Serrano's blog titled "Obamacare: Does Obama Care about all Americans?" talks about the effects of  Obamacare doesn't support  Deferrent Action recipients  such as himself, and  is  hurting immigrants that comes to America seeking affordable insurance when they need it. He thinks that Obama feels that immigrants aren't worthy of affordable healthcare, and if immigrants are willing to live in this nation, should have benefits just like every other citizen. Serrano feels that every immigrant that comes to America should have health insurance, in which he feels that Obama wants to preserve it for American citizens. He also feels that denying affordable health care to immigrants will cost the nation and will be the downfall of the nation. Serrano feels that if Obama is for immigrant-he should be for immigrants that need insurance as well. I believe that if there are immigrants are making a living in America, they should be able to have affordable benefits especially if its something that is  uncontrollable, like one's health. Just like I would expect to have the same benefits as everyone else if i was living in a different country. I would want to have the same the same benefits because I would feel since i'm living in your country and i'm making a living by living in your country, i should at least get some affordable assistant. One's health is more important than anything else, and its sad that people have to worry about simply not breaking a leg or catching a cold because they don't have insurance.I wish that we have insurance like other countries were medical care cost little to none and medicine is cheap. Its depressing how people in America and immigrants have no insurance and can't afford medical care
