Immigration Reform
Donald Trump said when he becomes president, he wants
to build a wall across the southeast border, but he wants Mexico to
pay for it. Trump also wants to get illegal aliens who have crossed
the border and detained until theyre sent back.
Tax Reform
Trump is planning to lower taxes, so people can take home
more money from their paychecks. Trump is also planning that if
youre single and earn less than $25,000, or married and you both
earn less than $50,000 you wont owe any income tax.
Veterans Administration Reforms
When Veterans need the care they need whenever
and wherever they are, they dont need to wait anymore, theyll get
it immediately.

Source Evaluation

I chose the website, donaldjtrump.com to learn more about Donald

Trump, about his stances, and his plans on doing if he comes president
in the future. The website I am using can be cliam as credible because
you are able to contact his campaign for more information on his
positions, to learn more information about him, and where he has been.
The website has been most recently updated on March 5, 2016, and it
has all the current information about Trump, his actions, and his
whereabouts. I believe that this source can be reliable because it
belongs to Donald Trump, or I believe so, you can contact his campaign,
you can find out about Trumps actions, and you can read more about
him on the biography on the website. The website does not have a clear
author for all the posts on it. The only information there is on an author is
Trumps campaign, on the bottom of the website, and the photos that are
taken by, Gage Skidmore. You can find out other news about Trump on
the website; you can find other information about Trump and where he
has been, such as news videos and news articles. The website has been
made for the audience who are interested in Trump, who want to know
more about his actions, the news and media he has been in, and his
biography on his life. The website can be good to find out more about
Trump, his stances if he becomes president in the near future, to buy his
merchandise , and you can also rely on it for being credible.

Bernie Sanders
Bernie Sanders is part of the democratic party.
Latino Rights
Agricultural Labor: Bernie believes farm workers, most of
whom are Latino, are the heart of U.S. agriculture, the
conditions and pay for the workers have be improved.
Economic Equality
Creating and Keeping Better Jobs: Increase the minimum
wage so working American can live rather than fight to
survive, and create more well-paying jobs by putting people
to work on our countrys crumbling groundwork.
Criminal Justice
Police Reform: Bernie believes police should be removed
and held accountable for abusive practices. Body cameras
are necessary to ensure accountability, and we need to
prioritize community policing over strategies that escalate
to violence.

Source Evaluation: Bernie Sanders

The website http://feelthebern.org/ is an organization run by a group of
regular people who support Bernie Sanders. This website is credible to
an extent for instance this is supporting Sanders meaning it will show
the good he stands for. The website allows you to be kept informed
about Sanders by signing up with your e-mail and receiving messages
to know what Sanders is up to. The website is biased towards Sanders
meaning it will show you only the good that he supports and does.
Although the website is biased it credible enough because it updates
often has many articles on different subjects. The articles are written for
the general public who supports Sanders as well as those who want to
be informed for what he stands for and looking for general information
about him. Other sources have validated the sources ranging from
famous celebrities to poplar newspapers, as well as social media like
twitter has started a trend, #feelthebern. In which many people follow
and support this trend by tweeting about it posting pictures about it on
Instagram as well. The group of volunteers have started social media
profiles about @feelthebern in which people follow and comment daily
their opinions. Feel the bern also has its own merchandise online in
which you can buy shirts or mugs or different supplies. The purpose of
these articles is to keep the public informed and updated on how well or
how bad Bernie Sanders is doing against the other candidates.

Marco Rubio by Ana Mendoza

Marco Rubio is part of the Republican party.
Education: Marco Rubio is against the Common Core and he wants
to expand Vouchers Or charter schools.Believes that the reason
there is such a high percentage of academic underperformance is
because of the place kids are being raced such as bad
neighborhoods and he would like to change that.

Immigration: Rubio believes that before any agreement can be

made about immigration reforms the wall must be reinforced to
make sure people feel safe and then maybe start talking about it.

Economy: Rubio does not support Obama care and he would make
sure to replace it.HE also does not encourage the increase of
minimum wage because he thinks it would lead to job losses.

"What I've learned is you can't even

have a conversation about that until
people believe and know...that future
illegal immigration will be controlled,"
he said at the Conservative Political
Action Conference in February.

Source Credibility: Marco Rubio

The name of the website that is being used is CBS News and the site is
really credible. It uses interviews that CBS has done with Marco Rubio to
write their articles and the campaigns that Marco Rubio has had and
talked in. The source was published on the company's website, CBS news
website. The website has a lot more articles on many different subjects
not just on Marco Rubio or politics. The website is bias and does not say
the authors opinion is any of the articles. The articles are written for
anyone who is looking for information about Marco Rubios issues, what his
current status in comparison to the other candidates, and Marco Rubios
views on some of the most important issues in today's government. The
article is not just for Marco Rubios supporters but for anyone looking for a
status update on Marco Rubio. The source is not the most timely, the
article was written on August 28, 2015. Although it was written not so
recently it still provides with the information necessary. Marco Rubios
aspects on the issues he is fighting for and against have not changed.
Although the article is not very timeliness, charts and videos are provided
that show his recent status in the run for president. The author of this
article and many more is Jake Miller a reporter/journalist from CBS news.
The information that is presented in this website can most definitely be
found in multiple other websites. What the author provides that make the
articles more credible are videos of Marco Rubio being interviewed and
discussing the same topics as the article.

Karen Luna

Foreign Policy: What if we concentrated

our efforts on providing for the general
welfare of our citizens and exercised our
military capabilities only when necessary
to provide for the common defense?
Resource Policy: What if we incentivized
technological advancement rather than
punished the lack of it?
Education Policy: What if we were to
refocus on the core mission of education?

Roque De La Fuente is part of the democratic

party.

Source Evaluation: Roque de La Fuente

The year is 2016 and one of the presidential candidates is named Roque de
La Fuente also known as Rocky by his loyal fans. As a source for information on
Roques campaign I used the website https://www.rocky2016.com/meet-rocky/ . As
the name shows it, this website is of the year 2016 however there is no further
information as to when the website was exactly made. Furthermore, the origin of
this website comes from the press who did not give out any names on their
blog.The fact that this website is a commercial site is important to note because it
lowers the source of reliability and there is no sign that shows that the blog has
been peer reviewed and least likely professionally reviewed. Yet the blog has an
email address and contact phone number which gives it some reliability. Another
thing to note about this blog is that the author is not specifically mentioned, there is
no name given, no biography, and no contact information. The only further steps
one can take is to assume that the author is the press because their contact
information is given. There is not a specific tone in the blog because Rockys points
on democratic issues are not straightforward instead, he creates questions for the
publics mind to process. The information given is very generic therefore it can be
validated through other sources. The author of this blog does not include a works
cited page nor additional sources to support it except for a brief video. Due to the
nonexistence of statistics on the blog the level of accuracy is very low. From
reading the information on the Daily Dot a newspaper article it was shown that this
blog shares the same relevant information therefore it is somewhat accurate. This
blog is definitely used as a secondary source since because it doesnt go in depth
like the Daily Dot does. Overall, the purpose of this article was to convince the
public to vote for Rocky however his use of obvious propaganda does not support

Ted Cruz by Abraham Hernandez

Guns
Ted Cruz believes that every American has the right to
carry a gun. He claims that if he is elected president
he will ensure that our Second Amendment is
protected. Cruz has been fighting to keep guns legal.
The Border
Ted Cruz believes that securing the border is
necessary in order to protect the American workers
rights and our National Security.
Jobs
Cruz claims that jobs, growth, and opportunity are
being crushed by Obamas economy. If he is elected
President, he will make sure the Cruz Simple Flat Tax
goes through which will supposedly open more jobs.

Source Evaluation: Ted Cruz

Ted Cruz is a Republican presidential candidate and you can find all his
stances on certain issues on the website, https://www.tedcruz.org/issues/
, which I used to gather all my info. The website is very current for its
context because it must be updated in order to give a correct reflection on
how Ted Cruz feels about the issues listed. The source is believable due to
having videos on the website that help authenticate the truth to Ted Cruzs
philosophy on these issues. In these videos Ted Cruz can be seen
confirming the message given. Cruz For President is the publisher of the
website, which is the main endorser for Ted Cruz and the writers are all
paid by Cruz For President. The information given is all the information
summed up by every source listed (videos, articles, ect.), so you can
validate it by further going into the listed sources. However, the website is
all made to be biased towards Ted Cruz in order to help him have a better
chance to win the presidential election. In that sense, most of the stuff
said will be shown only to appeal to the majority of the people and hide
the stuff that may cause him to lose a potential chance. However, that
does not take away the authenticity of the information given, all it does is
make sure he has a good social liking. The website is like all the other
websites that every other Presidential candidate has and is used to lure
other people into voting for said presidential candidate.
