1st Period US Government

Welcome again to US Government. Thank you so much for a very good first day of class. Your first blog posting is as follows:

          What is a question you have about the upcoming General Election in November of 2016?

Your question should be posted by the time we have class on Monday Feb. 8th. We will try and answer your questions in class. Be sure to post a unique question. NO DUPLICATES!  If you are 1st to post you will be unique. If you are last to post you will have to read 30 questions to be sure you haven't asked the same question.

Thanks,
Mr. Thompson
