Rats Around UsEssay Preview: Rats Around UsReport this essayBelieve it or not, it has been nearly eight months since weve completed our undergraduate careers at JCU. Wow, I guess theyre right when they say time flies as you grow older. At commencement Mr. Brokaw dubbed us as the “next Greatest Generation” and urged us to take action in our world. Emily Ferron is in the Federated States of Micronesia with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps (JVC) working as a teacher and having a great time immersing in the local culture. Jurell Sison is working as a part-time teacher and as a food program coordinator at the Detroit Cristo Rey High School with JVC. He said that every day is a new learning experience and that there really is not a manual for the task at hand, which is what makes this such a unique opportunity. Although he is enjoying his time in Detroit, he is looking forward to his family-wide excursion to the Philippines in 2012. Ryan Tipping and Jeff Bartolozzi are also engaging the world with the Peace Corps in Africa. Tipping is living in Madagascar and Bartolozzi will be in Mali. Jeff stated that he is excited for this opportunity to serve and explore. He has been in contact with Tipping to exchange advice over the trip necessities. Bridget Dolan was recently accepted to the Physician Assistant School at Seton Hill University in Pittsburgh. She is eager to start class, but also comforted knowing there are many JCU alums in the Pittsburgh area. Carolyn Pici is adjusting well to city-life in Chicago. She was hired by Coyote Logistics and loves her job; she also enjoys the frequent visits of friends from Carroll. Carolyn, Sara Nunney, and Tyler Kirsch were all in attendance at the JCU Speed Networking event in Chicago last November. They are grateful to know that they can still rely on JCU for support. Elise Wygant and Brad Bartleme have set a date to exchange wedding vows in June 2012. Elise studied biology and served as President of Kappa Kappa Gamma while at JCU. She is currently studying and researching plants at the University of Georgia. Brad can be found in one of the biology labs on campus where he is working on his masters and teaching undergraduates. Congratulations Elise and Brad. Please continue to do great things and send in any life updates. The class of 2010 is well on its way to becoming the next Greatest Generation.

I am a lifelong member of the JCU community who has traveled to many places. I have worked the day time as a teacher, food distribution person, etc., and the evenings I train as a member of the student body. While traveling I have observed the life style of the students on a daily basis. When it comes to their lives we share that love for all. To this day I don’t see myself just anyone, although there are times when I know that my actions on social media may have implications. I have done my normal job, and I have put my efforts into working on my goals. I am proud to be an adjunct professor at the JCU campus. In a career in service to students, I can only be proud to serve a mission that I believe in.

I was a part of the United States Congressional Progressive Caucus when I served as a member from 1982-1980. I served on the Armed Services Committee, and when I went to Iraq I served as a member in Congress for the 1980 Congress. I was elected in that special election, as a member of House Democratic Caucus, and I lost twice because I am gay. I worked in many branches of government and at an office in one of those agencies, and as a member of the Armed Services Committee, I was there for years.  I was also stationed on Capitol Hill, and also did the same on Capitol Hill for 15 years, and I took the time I was given in this position to speak to the American people and as a Congressman.  My personal life and all my life experience is part of what makes it part of the job. It is all part of me.  I am happy and proud that I am gay.  I have worked out with the family where I work, in a yoga studio, in the offices of hospitals, and now in a new building in my backyard.  I take action on behalf of all Americans, including gay and bisexual Americans who choose to seek acceptance in their community.  In an election year, I made it

t a point not to back away from the idea of same-sex marriage, as this party has repeatedly tried over the next several years to make its point.  As I said for most of my term as a New Yorker, what we are trying to do is make it a point not to support it at all. This is a political party, and it is not a religious one.  We care deeply about our fellow Americans, and we care what their views are, and what their opinions and aspirations are. We are just as concerned about religious groups as those who might disagree, though. In many instances, the very same group that has sought in our country’s religious community our share of the political debate over same-sex marriage has opposed it, on their part to a range of grounds, without any evidence, at all whatsoever, or even a moral basis.This is not simply an area of disagreement.  It is, in fact, a matter of disagreement, one that should be open to everybody that, at all times, knows that there are some people, all those people that are making up our nation.  Some people, whether members of Congress, in a partisan field, or in a general political field, come to us and say, “Gay marriage has no place in our society, because of its discriminatory impact.”  We can’t help but acknowledge that, and when we can, we help to explain to them that we will support the marriage amendment in a political venue. When the only people making up the political pie can agree on such a point, it’s for a pretty good reason: it would make people of all colors and beliefs more happy – and would benefit everyone to the point of giving them something to feel welcome and enjoy.  It would also reduce the political pressures that will affect the lives of many other groups, especially gay and bisexual Americans.  The message that this is all good with the only people with differing opinions is an appeal to an electorate that has grown up on, for some, prejudice and bigotry.To many of our fellow Americans (and especially gay and bisexual Americans), marriage is something else from which to fight. The issue of same-sex marriage has long been a national struggle, with a growing number of Republican and Democratic presidential candidates supporting it, and a growing number of candidates in both parties fighting for it.  In this battle, we will have to choose between the many different positions, and these choices will have to be a combination of what is possible and what’s not.My argument about same-sex marriage is what I believe is the fundamental, most fundamental, common-sense reason that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry legally.  That is a matter we have to recognize, and we agree that it is fundamental to love, dignity and respect as Americans.  It is a matter no one is talking about that everyone needs to fully understand: there is nothing less than love.  What this means is that if you are a Republican or an Independent who supports same-sex marriage, and you look good and strong you should be able to vote as Republican.  Otherwise you will have a problem with your family.  You will be in a position that requires a lot of love and compassion for one’s family – but it would also cause you great physical, psychological and emotional pain – so much that none of you who support it will ever be able to fully appreciate it.  The same is true of gay and lesbian and transgender people.  But at the same time, if

I are not careful, and make it that far, I have heard that it is too late to reverse the tide of history in the United States.I do not believe that there is any place in our nation where the “marriage” amendment has the effect it does.  I do believe there is a place in this country where a young country, with a strong history of equality and justice for all, should recognize that every individual’s right to choose his or her own happiness, as well as every one’s choice to remain an American is at stake in the nation’s decision to legalize the amendment, as well as in the state of our nation and those rights that we hold dear.And this is the point that our party should be defending to protect the people of this great nation, for we believe in free and fair government.  In order that the American people can, for the first time in their history and in all our history, and in all our history, decide whether a federal or state law to allow gay marriage, or to allow state marriage, will protect the same, good people for life, then we must begin to set our sights on

“We are going to create a more prosperous, prosperous country, and do so not from the back of white supremacists and other fascist groups, but from a national Democratic party that will support it, which will stand up to this divisive rhetoric and attack our history, our values and our Constitution.”
