For quite some time now, I have been passionate about politics and all things surrounding it. My website, CarmonReport.com was created as a result of my insatiable need to express my views and opinions after people got tired of listening to me talk about politics (I am very happy to accept any guest-posts, as there are already several posts written by other young people).

Wake Up

Scott Brown's victory in Massachusetts should be a wake-up call for Democrats to get their act together.

Over one year since Barack Obama took his oath of office on a chilly yet hopeful January day, things are not as good as everyone had hoped. The stimulus worked, but was clearly not enough, as jobless rates are [...]
