Debbie just hit the wall
She thought she knew it all
Til’ she had a dream
She went back in history
Her dreams were really fun
In 1791
She met this one man
Named James Madison

Helped write Amendment 1
He helped you get where you are
He gave you freedom
Doesn’t matter who you are
The books you read right now, used to be the enemy
Look at you average life
Everything, seems to be, ALRIGHT since

James Madison, Washington
Way before Obama
No freedom to write
Whatever you wanted to
Women treated unequally
They took care of the children
They didn’t even get to vote
Til 19, 19, til 1920!Lets rewind to
1865
Woohoohoo

Deb met John Quincy Adams
She listened carefully
Amendment 13
Meant to abolish slavery
But it took a while
The men were slavery fans
Thought they’d get a hand
With all of their land
John Quincy Adams helped end slavery
And there are more men that helped ou-r country
This is reality, not T.V.
Whatever happened to slavery, inequality, or no freedom?

Adams, Jefferson
Way before Bill Clinton
They helped free our country
That’s why we can watch T.V
Those 2 kids in high school
They can say what they want to
Cuz there are preoccupied
With freedoms, freedoms, from 2009Woohoohoo
Debbie needs time, don’t make it stop
Why did Madison give us our freedoms?
Cuz he wanted everyone to have opinions.
We’re glad this stopped
Stopped, STOPPED!
Don’t bring back
Slavery, inequality,
Or segregation
There were protests, about tea
They even poured it in the sea
But look how it, helped us
They helped represent us
She was still preoccupied
With 2009
We have freedom, of speech
Don’t scream fire at the beach
We have freedom, to vote now
Freedom to plead the fifth---PAUSE!! That means you don’t have to say anything when ur arrested. PLAY!
Those two in high school
They find the Constitution cool
Shes not preoccupied with
2000 2000 2009

DEATH PENALTY

DEATH PENALTY

If little boy goes to his neighbors house and steals baseballs bat from his neighbor you make him return the/a bat and apologize. But what if the boy turns into a man and then he goes to his neighbor’s house and steals his life would you make him apologize and make him return the deed… would you vote pro death penalty??

Do you know how much it costs to jail a man?--$20,000 dollars a year Would you want that money to feed a murderer to give him shelter? Or to build better schools? Better hospitals?

Let’s say you are walking down the street. You are pregnant and you have a two year old daughter. You are going to buy clothes. And all of a sudden a man comes out of nowhere and kills your daughter and uses her dead body to kill the fetus. Does that man, in your opinion deserve to live?

No punishment can be equal to the crime of murder.

It gives closure to the family of the victim.

Overpopulated prisons:: people get let out early

If a man kills another man he is a murderer. The murderer goes to jail he serves 25 years is let home for good behavior. He then kills a young family. Should he go back to jail? Or should he die?

In the Ten Commandments it does say “you shall not murder” but if you do not use the death penalty than those people who were to be sentenced to death penalty will be alive ready to murder other innocent people. “You shall not murder” unless it is to help others. Kill One Man to Save A Million. A million he could have killed.

They may say: If murder is wrong, which it is, than why commit it back?

BUT in fact when you execute people who could potentially murder more you are indeed saving more lives than you are harming. AND you are not killing one innocent person to help millions of innocent people you are killing a man guilty of murder

They may say:: but X amount of people were innocent when executed.

But X amount of people were innocent when murdered and in fact the investigation that detectives and  policeman do last 20 years at a time it’s hard to get the wrong man

Inmates kill each other

Prison Lets you off easy. Your still alive. Still fed still sheltered… and you get let out eventually

Cruel and Unusual… DP isn’t… because cruel means brutal…. Brutal it isn’t because they don’t chop off your head or gauge your  eyes out. And Unusual means abnormal… they murdered some one! So its not abnormal…
