Commodities Values
Hello Students!
As you can see, I'm not at school today. The substitute should have given this assignment. However, just in case you didn't get it or you're reading this after today and you've lost the assignment, here it is.
Besides your usual Google and Wikipedia search habits, for this assignment it would be worth your time to search on Wolfram Alpha.
See you on Wednesday!
Mr. Byrne

I din't get an news paper anything but i have a video.
I don't think that at this point in the race its ok to still be mud slinging. we have like 2 weeks left and i think who ever is on the fence should listen to the people they want to vote for not the people they dont want to vote for.
Libby Mitchell's efforts Cassy Surrette
I think her efforts will get her elected cause' she cares about the people of Maine.
Libby Mitchell Article
The article I read can be found here.
In the past, Libby Mitchell was caught in a picture laughing at a picture of George W. Bush with the words "International Terrorist." There is a video on the article, with the apology, which I watched as well. I don't really think this will help or hurt her chances of becoming governor because she did apologize for the picture, even though I don't think she should really have to. The other political parties, however, have called her a hypocrite, because she mentioned the mishaps of Paul LePage. I think this is just a tiny little thing and should be over looked. I do not think she should be judged because of a picture that was taken of her over a year ago. However, people might like the fact that she owned up to her mistake and didn't make a big deal of it or make excuses. So that was pretty cool.

WIth friends like these who needs enimies.
HAHA here it is.
People are saying that Libby Mitchel is to close to the teachers union. This started when an ad saying that Paul LePage was going to "would make big budget cuts to schools and would hurt education in Maine" But that same add was produced by the "political action Committee". The PAC just happens to share a phone number with the Maine Education Association.
Libby Mitchel is supported by the Maine Education Associations president Chris Galgay because she will be a "Educational Governor"

Interest Groups For Libby Mitchell
One group that has been endorsing Libby Mitchell is the Maine's Educational Association. The goal of the Maine's Education Association is to try and better conditions, salaries and benefits for teachers. They want to create programs for school funding and to make school just a better place. Libby Mitchell was once a teacher, so I can definitely see why they would back her up in her campaign.
Another group endorsing Libby Mitchell is The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organization (AFL-CIO). The group is mainly made up of Teachers, Miners, firefighters, bakers and plumbers; their main goal is to "...improve the lives of working families...." They are for work unions, they want to get everyone who works into the unions because they think that it will help everyone. They basically want to change everything about the job field. I'm not quite sure why they would endorse Libby, but they feel very strongly about her issues of education, jobs and the economy, according to this article. They like the way she has been giving those three things attention and her ideas for them.
