Mitt Romney- Election 08'

Although Governor Mitt Romney has recently suspended his campaign for President, I still found that he had strong views towards some very important issues facing our nation today.
My class just finished a project relating to the election process of our government and the presidential candidates running for office this year. I learned about who can vote in the primary elections, who can vote in the general elections, how they register, who can run for president, and how they can be elected.
My class was given the objective to research a republican candidate and their views on a certain issue. I was given the candidate Mitt Romney and the issue of global warming and energy. I learned that Romney was previously skeptical of the threat of global warming, but he now plans to combat the climate crisis if he is elected president.
Mitt Romney has pledged an offer of $20 billion for energy research and new technology. He believes that our main priority is to lower our dependency of foreign oil. He is interested in finding a new source of alternative energy such as biodiesel, ethanol, or nuclear power.
This project taught me how different the plans and views of presidential candidates can be, and the importance of being involved in the election process. Although the presidential elections can be confusing, it makes sense to be involved in your future and the future of your government.
