Politics
GET SMART AMERICA!>
Team Gaia's teen perspective at how states voted on the variety of issues on the ballot in VOTE 2006.
Vote 2006 - Stem Cell Research
Missouri passed the stem cell research bill in November 2006. Team Gaia raises the following questions about stem cell research: How do you feel about stem cell research? Do you think it will make a difference with how the President stands on the research? How does it affect the abortion issue?
Vote 2006 - Immigration
The teens take on a touchy topic that has congress battling with the President and amongst themselves. How do we fix the current immigrant problem in the US? What will that mean for US citizens? Their views are honest and enlightening.
Vote 2006 - The War In Iraq
It's gone on longer than expected and we are still not free from the threat terrorism. Why did we enter Iraq and why are we still there? The teens speak frankly about the war and our government's military spending.
Vote 2006 - Abortion Part 1 & 2
South Dakotans said no on a referendum backing the state legislature's near total ban on abortion. Here are just a few of the questions raised by the teens at Team Gaia's podcast session. What do you think about Abortion Rights? Are you Pro-life or Pro-Choice? Do you think this will make other states that have a ban or partial ban on abortion follow suit?
Vote 2006 - Minimum Wage Part 1 & 2
Voters in Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Montana, Nevada and Ohio decided to raise the minimum wage. Voters in six states approved increases to the minimum wage, a typically Democratic issue. Minimum wage is $5.15. Minimum wage puts most Americans below poverty level. The teens at Team Gaia query the idea of being paid more than adults making minimum wage and a host of other ideas on this money issue.
