The First Amendment

The First Amendment is the freedom to express what we feel in any way we desire. This amendment is what affects every single individual in this country. The amendment is what allows the people of our country to speak what is on their minds, their ideas, and their thoughts. It also allows us to believe, worship, and practice any religion we please. There are many other countries in this world that don't have a choice in religion, and don't have a right to speak what is on their mind. That is why many people from other countries come to our country, so they can FREE. That is why we are called "the land of the free," because we the people are free to express ourselves to make this country a better place.

Burton Cafeteria

I sat in the cafeteria at lunch and observed the people around me. As the students eat their lunch, they also use their time to socialize with their friends. The cafeteria gets very loud at lunch time, because the students get so riled up and excited about finally being out of class for at least an hour, that they can't help but yell and be loud. I watched as some students talked and laughed with their friends, and others sat quietly eating their lunch or doing their homework. The lunch lines get very crowded as the students push their way through to get their food. As you look around, you see all different types of races togther, or split into groups. Either way, everybody gets along and has a good time.

Hell's Angels Leader found dead in San Francisco Neighborhood

The residents in San Francisco's mission neighborhood were terrified after the SFPD found a dead body in the area. They identified him as 46-year-old Mark Guardado, a leader of the Hell's Angels motorcycle club. Guardado was reported shot around 10:30pm outside a bar on 24th and Treat Ave. Guardado was recently faced with criminal charges in connection to a fight in Petaluma last February. On February 10th, Guardado and the vice president of the Hell's Angels club, Jonathon Nelson, got into a fight in Petaluma with a patron at a Dining House. Apparently, the patron was knocked out in the fight. Guardado and Nelson were both arrested of assault with great bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon, and gang enhancements. They were both released on bail. Police were investigating reports that Guardado was shot by a member of the Mongols, a rivalry motorcycle club. The Mongols and the Hell's Angels got into a big fight six years ago in Nevada. Police say they will continue to patrol the area and reassure the residents they will remain safe.

Obama Places Hurricane Over Politics

Democratic nominee, Barack Obama pushed thousands of supporters to donate to the Red Cross to help the victims of Hurricane Gustav. Obama pushed back the labor day speeches to focus on the Hurricane incident. "Instead of a speech, what I'd like to do is ask all of us to join in some silent prayer for all those who are spending this labor day in a shelter waiting for another storm to pass," Obama stated at an outdoor rally. "There's a time for us to argue politics, but there's a time for us to come together as Americans," Obama also stated. Obama e-mailed and text messaged thousands of supporters asking to donate whatever they can afford to the Red Cross so they have enough resources to help the victims of Hurricane Gustav.
