Social Studies and the Senate Election

The Explorers have been learning about the United States government. Part of that study has been learning about the election process by following the Senate race in Washington. Below are some examples of essays the Explorers wrote about Patty Murray and Dino Rossi.

The Senate Race by CJ

The job of senate is very important, only some people are born with the leadership. Because both of these candidates were born with leadership the voters are going to have to make a good choice.

Dino Rossi is the best choice because he’s trusworthy, a leader and experienced. Dino Rossi severed in the Washington state Senate from 1997 through 2003. He represented the 5th legislative district in east King County. In 2004 he ran for govenor but lost in the 3rd recount by 129 votes. After the election Dino Rossi wrote a book on leadership. In 2008 Dino Rossi ran for govenor again because he knew that Washington needed a change in leadership.

Patty Murray’s spent over a trillion dollars on stuff we don’t even need like 1.2 million dollars on turtles crossing the road and 200 million dollars on office building upgrades.

Dino Rossi would make a better Senate because he’s a business man and business men do a lot of paying bill’s and stuff. Patty Murray’s had enough time to mess up our state now it’s Dino Rossi’s turn.

Dino or Patty by Z K

Dino Rossi is a Democrat. Patty Murray is a Republican. It is a very, very important election that should be carefully considered.

Dino Rossi ran for senate twice, once in 2004 and 2008, but sadly lost both times. This election can change Washington. Patty Murray’s tax hike will be a $94 billion blow to small businesses when they least expect it. Patty Murray supports allowing the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts to expire, and when Patty Murray lets tax cuts expire this is what it will look like: 115 million tax payers will pay $1,716 each,$, 42 million families with children will pay $2,726 more. This is not right.

This election is too important not to be voted carefully for. Dino Rossi is the best choice.


THE SENATE RACE IN WASHINGTON By MM

The senate race is coming up and the air is tense! It is a race for senator of Washington state! Of course there are many voters out there and its imposible to know who will win unless we went to every person 18 or older and ask them who theyr voting for and thats just not gonna happen!

Of course there are many good things about Dino Rossi. Like the fact that hes Secretary for the Board of the Special Olypimics for the state of Washington.

Patty Murray on the other hand is trying to save Boeing,s jobs and spent two billon dollars for cleanup on nuclear waste. And she fights for the funding of public and private schools!

Patty Murray is a very nice person oposed to Dino Rossi with his commercial of Patty Murray walking on peoples, heads. Patty Murray is the right person for the job!


Vote for Patty Murray By AS

On November 2, 2010 there is a big Senate race Patty Murray V.S Dino Rossi. The senate race is important to Washington State because there are a lot of problems that need to be fixed.

You should vote for Patty Murray. Dino Rossi is not the one for the job because he will raise taxes and he is not on our side. Patty Murray the best for the job because she has 18 years of experience. She puts money into health care and education.

The senate race is important to Washington so we need the right person. So Patty Murray is the best choice for the job because she will give money to education. And she has 18 years of good experience
