 * Political Views:** If I could vote, I would vote for Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic-Republican Party because, Thomas Jefferson supported farms and small businesses. Back in Ireland my family owned a small farm with cows, chickens, sheep and any other animal needed for survival. Our farm was also a large majority of potato crops in which we sold and ate, that is until the "Great Potato Famine," my family nearly starved and we had nothing to feed our chickens or cows, so we had no eggs or milk.


 * Political Views on Current Issues:**
 * Native American Removal- Most Indian tribes were very big agricultural places, so my family and I went to a tribe to buy new seeds for our farm. We were all very scared that the Indians would burn us, like my brother learned in school. We Finally reached our destination of the Cherokee Nation and we saw that they were not all wearing head dresses and they had normal names, plus there was no "whooping," it was actually very quiet. We went to the chief to purchase our Pre-ordered seeds and we asked him why there were so many stereotypes about the Indians, and he replied, " I do not know why people must hate, but there is equal hate as there is love." It was very inspiring
 * Fugitive Slave Act: Living in Virginia, my family should be for the Fugitive slave Act, but we aren't. We want to help the slave, and think that the Movement was completely unfair. We, as a people, know that if we don't help the slave owner, we could be fined, and sometimes imprisoned. After my brother sent my family a copy of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" that he had to read for school, our opinions changed. We are now 100% against it. We did come from Ireland, so we aren't official citizens, so we'll just lay low until this whole thing blows over.........That is, if it does.


 * Favorite Activities and Interests**: I enjoy jumping rope, hunt the slipper and King George's Troops. I play checkers with my sister and my brother, when he lived here. Whenever we played checkers we would use the piece of cloth I sewed when I was 11. My family also enjoys going to cattle shows, we go with my family-friends and they have a son named Carter Towe and we really like each other and we first met when we were 10 and we would play together all the time and now we both like each other as boyfriend and girlfriend. <3
