My Opinion

        Norton collectively voted Obama into office, as Massachusetts did as a State. Nationally, Obama was re-elected to the presidency for the 2012 election. Personally, I did not vote, however if I were to have voted in the election, these political views would have matched my own. In regards to the referendums, I believe that the decisions made by the voters in Massachusetts were succesful. I agree with the right to repair, I disagree with assisted suicide and I agree with medical marijuana.
