4) when i arrived home, i called my older sister jasmine. i figured that as a political science major, she was the perfect person to talk to about my situation. because jasmine goes to school in another state, she will be voting by absentee ballot in the upcoming primaries. though a registered democrat, jasmine was a fount of political knowledge. she explained that there were even more political parties than the ones listed on the voter registration form. we talked for a long time about party platforms and the candidates vying for their parties’ nominations. while i appreciated the assistance, i hung up the phone and was still undecided about my party.

(and there's a bonus pic for you if you're still unsure)

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
