I am proud to be an American Citizen where I can be free and have successful dreams for me, my country, and my fellow civilians. As an American I can dream for myself; i.e.: job, children, religion, etc., I can even dream for how I think my country should be and how everyone in this country should act.
My own personal dreams come first. Ever since I was a small child, I dreamed about marrying the perfect guy, having wonderful children, and even being in the medical field! In fact, now that I am older I have even planned my life out. First off, I would go to my dream college, ASU. The University in Jonesboro, Arkansas seems as if it would be fabulous in so many different aspects! Unfortunately, that would not be the only college I would go to, I would also have to attend a medical college somewhere near home. Perhaps I will go to the college in Little Rock, Arkansas. Right now I cannot decide if I would rather be a Obstetrician-Gynecologist or a Dermatologist. The next step in my life would be to marry the man of my dreams, the man I believe I could share the rest of my exciting life with. If this man is not Catholic than I would love to have around 3 children. If my future husband turns out to be Catholic, than I guess I am just in trouble! Would that mess up every bit of detail that my dream consists of? No, more than likely this would not. Religion was never really a real big part of my life growing up. To be highly truthful, my family never even went to church! In the end, I would like that my future children do go to church.
The way that I believe this country should be ran is based on good, old fashioned Christian views. For instance, freedom of the religion is in our country's Constitution and we have taken that amendment a little too far. Never have I been so sick to hear everyday citizens just like me say, "We wish that you not call it Christmas, but call it X-mas. It's more politically correct." Shame on the people who say those words. Christmas is about celebrating Christ! That's practically the main reason we celebrate that day! Christmas in the day of Jesus' birth, not the birth of "X".
One more item that I dream will change is how everyone these days are so ignorant and rude. Every American citizen should be polite and caring towards one another. Not cursing another being because they made a mistake. Plus more and more people these days should stop watching biased news channels, such as CNN, and get their facts wrong.
My dreams may never come true, but if my personal dreams don't and my dreams on this country and it's people do. I will be the happiest American alive.

CC#2: Gun Control
A recent article, Got'cha! Obama Demands January 2013 Deadline for Gun Control Proposals, an anonymous writer speaks upon the issues on gun control. Ever since the New Town shooting many people have stood up to say they want rights to guns taken away. Some disagree with intentions of keeping their guns for their own protections.
"[Obama] called for stricter background checks for people who seek to purchase weapons and limited high capacity clips," this is a good idea for this country. There should be background checks just to see if some people are compatible to even own a gun for hunting. There are certain people in this country that disagree with this. They still believe that no one should have guns.
Obama has been quoted on saying, "The fact that we can't prevent every act of violence doesn't mean we can't steadily reduce the violence." Obama brings up a good point. There will still probably be school shootings, as in the one that recently happened in New Town, because some human beings might be perfectly fine when they first get their arms, but may sooner or later snap and cause problems.
Obama said that seeing people of different backgrounds and political affiliations going on to prevent such violence is "encouraging" to him. Obama did make sure to tell people that he does believe in the Second Amendment. This might help Democrats go on with helping him to still have guns, but just to background checks.
I believe that there should be some type of gun control, but the government should not take all of our guns away. So I am agreeing on a certain extent on gun control, but disagreeing on going to the extremes with taking everyone's guns away.

CC#1: Trillion Dollar Coin
In FoxNews recent expository article, "Legend of trillion-dollar coin grows as White House declines to rule it out" they explain how congress is addressing this new topic. Telling their readers that congress is not denying that they are thinking about making a trillion dollar coin. They are also reporting that congress isn't approving it either.
Why would congress even think about doing such a crazy thing? Wouldn't they just toss the idea away? Perhaps toss it where no one would ever find it? Not exactly. Recently White House Press Secretary Jay Carney "hedged" as he was asked if the trillion-dollar coin was a possibility and "then he hedged again. And again." Now the legend of the coin as seemed to grow thanks to Mr. Carney. Instead of just simply telling the US that the coin is just a rumor, he hedges towards us. Maybe Carney wants us to believe that there might be a possibility of this coin when there really isn't. He's playing with our minds.
"Lawmakers are now railing against the idea, which has -- left unchecked -- has become a seemingly legitimate point of debate." Now that the White House Press has just only irritated these rumors they have started something far beyond what they might have been looking for. Or maybe the White House Press actually wants everyone to throw a big debate over this issue. "The National Republican Congressional Committee has launched a petition urging people to oppose the use of trillion-dollar coins to address any debt crisis." Launching this petition might actually help certain people in this country understand that this new coin will not be good for our country. This new currency will only cause inflation.
NRCC Chairman, Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore. was quoted on saying, "This scheme to mint trillion-dollar coins is absurd and dangerous, and would be laughable if the proponents weren't so serious about it as a solution. I'm introducing a bill to stop it in it's tracks." The proponents of this idea have pointed out that Treasury secretary can "mint and issue platinum bullion coins and proof platinum coins." Meaning that they, Treasury, do have the power to make this false coins.
In conclusion, the looks on making the trillion-dollar coin are looking quite interesting since there are no approvals and no denials. Who knows, the government might just make these coins without even thinking about all of the horrible outcomes that will emerge.
I disagree on the whole concept about the trillion-dollar coins. I don't think that Treasury should make these coins since they will only lead to a big, terrifying mess for America.
