McDonald's touts its contributions

Doesn't this sound so typical.

Of course what McDonald's doesn't want people to know is that independent businesses contribute much more to the local economy.

Since McDonalds was put in China the life expectancy there dropped like a lead balloon! Their greasy food is hazardous to your heath and killing off the world. I think if you order a happy meal you get more nutritional value eating the toy over the hamburger or fries. Ronald McDonald is just freaky. I cannot believe that clown is a Republican. But I would vote for Ronald over that feminist witch! McDonalds has the worst food I have ever eaten. I would rather eat my socks!

My younger sister is the girl sitting next to Ronald McDonald in the picture! She is adorable!

As one of the mentors of the Commonwealth school I would like to thank the Senate and the Sponsor of the caucus lunch. Although late and a bit scattered they were kind and generous. The Sponsor only took 3 minutes to speak about his business and then graciously turned the time over to the kids. The kids were thrilled to be quizzed by the Senate and even Ronald himself. The Senate offered some wonderful compliments about the students and their education and the Sponsor let the students take part in the caucus lunch.
The students came prepared to deal with the chaos of Senate meetings and were happy to still be able to at least participate in the question/answer period.

As one of the students I would like to tell everyone that this was really fun! Most of the kids are eleven or twelve, but we knew more about the Declaration of Independence then the senators!

I would like to say that I was one of the student's at this event and we didn't have presentations! The only thing we came for was the question answer thing.
