Government is not the enemy: on Mary Rodriguez, 6th hour Democrats


When I think about Mary Rodriguez I think of someone who works hard, is dedicated, and is also someone who will not give up. Rodriguez has a lot of experience in the government along with popularity from the public. When describing Rodriguez one would say she is a person who believes that, when run effectively, government can help solve societal problems and that government is not the enemy!

Personally if it came down to it I would trust Rodriguez with my life. She is involved and knows what to say and when to say it! Not all people are qualified for certain jobs and are not always people that I would give those kinds of responsibilities to. I think that when someone wants to come in and strengthen a community they have guts, and that is exactly what she is doing.

Rodriguez takes in the consideration of the people that she is working for. Being a minority and growing up less privileged she understands that things need to be done in regards to every one not just one target audience such as just the the women or just the business owners.

I love my home state of Nebraska. Especially that Cornhusker feeling and personally I want it to stay that way. Mary Rodriguez does not want Nebraska to lose its hometown feel either. A homey town is hard to find but when, you have it don’t let it slip away.

Rodriguez also favors higher taxes on the wealthy and redistributing income to the poorer sections of the country. I also agree with that but also on the fact that big business has taken over Congress.

Everyone sometime in their life has probably held a minimum wage paying job she did too. She worked at the local grocery store through high school, so she could go to college. Because of her struggle to achieve her goal of a higher education she supports raising the minimum wage. Also, many women are single mothers along with being a minority are not able to support a family on a minimum wage job. So I agree with Rodgriguez to raise that baby up!

Now when it comes to Iraq, I 100% agree with Rodriguez’s views. She is taking it from that mothers point of view. If I had to send my child over to fight in a war I would probably lose it and go crazy. Rodriguez is making it a lot easier on those who want to keep their sons and daughters safe by wanting them to bow out gracefully and come HOME! In my eyes Rodriguez is a life saver. She is taking in the consideration of others and I feel she is touching people on a personal and will fight for what we believe is right!

Especially that Cornhusker feeling and personally I want it to stay that way. First off, that doesn't really seem like a sentence. Also was this supposed to be an editorial? Because even if it is, it is waaaaaaay too opinionated for the average american reader, like me.

that sentence confuses me. If she is for abortion, how can there be babies?
thats it for me

i gotta say that some of this was written badly. Sentences didn't make sense enough for the average reader to understand what is trying to be said to them. It seems like this was written in a hurry and the writer just wanted to get it over with. Next time try to look it over before acually posting it.

hey, soaring eagle why don't you wake up and smell the coffee? An editorial is supposed to be opinionated. Are you an average reader? Come on.....please! Also she is not pro abortion she's pro choice there is a difference. Next time do you research!

Soaring Eagle I think you may be a little confused because you didn't read that sentence carefully. I believe that by "raise that baby up!" they mean raise minimum wage. I understand how you may have gotten confused at first glance, but I know if I get confused by something I read i re-read it until I understand it.

And Rodriguez is pro-choice, not pro-abortion. There's a difference, like aluminum foil said, you be careful how you word certain statements.
