Every time an election rolls around，people

题目内容：

Every time an election rolls around，people want to know what each candidate’s stance(立场)is on the issue that are important to them．In deciding which candidate 1 want to vote for, there are two main issues for me：the economy and education．

These issues are important to me because they affect me the most right now．The economy affects everyone，and education is important because t am about to enter college． When I looked at how each candidate views these issues，one man stood out to me，and that is Demoeratic candidate Barack Obama．

I like a11 of Senator Obama’s ideas for improving the economy．He wants to bring the troops home from Iraq，thereby saving the $12 billion we spend there every month．Anotller point that Obama makes is that the United States’current energy policy is hurting the econmny.He believes thal if new energy bills are passed，it will help tile U．S． get out of its currenr economic slump，and I agree．With these ideas and strategies，I slrongly believe that Obama can improve the current state of the economy．

Obama also has a plan to improve education．He believes that we need to start educating children at a young age．He also hopes to close the gap of achievement between students,which means improving schools that need help．He wants to pay teachers more and treat them like professionals，but in exchange he calls for higher responsibility．

Obama also has a plan to make college more affordable．He wants public colleges to be free for students who maintain a”B”average during high school．And he plans to give a $4，000 tax credit for college and university students who complete 100 hours of community service each year·I belleve these ideas to improve education are good enough and will help many students．

Therefore，there is no longer any doubt in my mind who will be receiving my vote：Barack Obama．
