Congress began to hold high-profile hearings on automobile safety in 1965. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed both the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Highway Safety Act into law. The two bills gave the federal government authority to set and enforce safety standards for vehicles and roads. The NTMVSA was the first legislation mandating federal safety standards for motor vehicles. Although the safety standards in the NTMVSA were watered down in response to industry lobbyists, it required important safety features that the current generation of car drivers would never expect to be absent from a vehicle: “seat belts for every passenger, impact-absorbing steering wheels, rupture-resistant fuel tanks, door latches that stayed latched in crashes, side-view mirrors, shatter-resistant windshields, windshield defrosters, lights on the sides of cars as well as the front and back, and ‘the padding and softening of interior surfaces and protrusions.’” (History.com)
“It was time, I thought, for someone to stand up for what’s right; and it might as well be me.” Ivan Allen Jr. wrote these words in a journal just days after the Atlanta mayoral election of 1961. Allen Jr. made the decision early on in his political career to base his choice-making not on the polls, but on his own moral values. He possessed a certain quiet strength that made him an admirable character in the political scene. His fortitude of character and bravery enabled him to become one of the most impactful mayors in our nation’s history.
But then, he was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 2000, and elected as the speaker in November of 2006 (Rubio). His campaign for the US senate started in 2009, but he expected to lose to a wealthier rival. And even though he doubted himself, he was surprisingly elected on the promise of bringing conservative ideas to the senate (“Marco Rubio”).
The United States is not what it used to be. The United States was the moderator of the world. Every other country feared the U.S., but now it seems to be lacking the luster it once had. The United States of America’s success starts at one place. That is the president of the United States. The president controls and oversees all actions taken by the government. The United States needs a leader that can return this country to its former glory. Marco Rubio is that leader. What Rubio lacks in age and experience he makes up for with hard work and determination to win. Marco Rubio 's plans to return this country to glory are rooted with conservative belief and backed by the republican party. There are many other candidates fighting to be the next person to turn this country around. Marco Rubio will put his plans into action and make The United States better for all. Marco Rubio is a great candidate for president.
In the online article, “Women propel Hillary Clinton Into Battleground Lead Over Trump”, author Anthony Salvanto argues that Democrat, Hillary Clinton has a higher chance than her Republican opponent, Donald Trump because of his gruesome comments about women. Salvanto supports his argument by stating that “seventy percent of voters do not think Trump respects women. Seventy-three percent of women say this,” & “nine in ten women who find the tapes offensive, and who were not already for Trump, say they wouldn’t consider Trump now.” Anthony Salvanto’s purpose is to inform readers that by stating multiple comments about women, candidate Donald Trump decreased his chances of becoming the new President of the United States drastically.

United States Senator for Florida, Marco Rubio once stated, “The Hispanic community understands the American Dream and have not forgotten what they were promised – that in the U.S., a free market system allows us all to succeed economically, achieve stability and security for your family and leave your children better off than yourselves.” Every year Hispanics search the regions of Texas in search of this very opportunity to better themselves and especially their youth. One such region is the poverty stricken region that is the Rio Grande Valley. It is a region that has begun to accept its current role as nothing more than a region of widespread poverty and undervalued skill, but there is one man who will not sit idly by and watch as this region and the Hispanics who inhabit it are characterized by benighted stereotypes and filled with cruel insults. There is one man who will work diligently to better the region. That man is Eric Garza. Garza believes, “Future opportunity exists for Hispanics to excel and advance themselves and their families” (Garza). He sees that a disheartened culture has suddenly sprung up and is on the cusp of something greater than what people believe they can achieve. Eric Garza, a prominent figure in the RGV and State of Texas, has been working to better the welfare of Hispanics since he was a teenager, through his work with The Libre Initiative and his various involvements in local and statewide communities.

One major issue which Rubio will face is Iran. Iran is a major issue because of the threat that Iran’s nuclear weapons possess to America. The American military needs to stay involved in Iran and fight against the global terrorist group, ISIS. If left unchecked, ISIS will commit more international damage and terrorist attacks. America needs to take action, violent action if there is no other choice, but Iran must be drained of all their nuclear capabilities.
