TOPICS:

Round 2: This house would bring back the military draft.

Round 3: (case) Sheriff Rodgers is the sheriff of Plum County and is up for re-election. He has been sheriff for 8 years and has done a good job. This election he is running against one of his deputies. While his deputy does a decent job, Sheriff Rodgers is concerned that he would not make a good sheriff. Recently the deputy failed his sergeant's exam for the second time, which means Sheriff Rodgers could not promote him. Now the deputy is looking for a promotion from the people. The deputy has lived in the county all his life and has a lot of family living in the county. He has started a campaign pointing out all the nit-picky things that have gone wrong in the county and Sheriff Rodgers feels he is losing support. His deputy's exams are technically part of his personnel record, but it has a direct bearing on the job he is running for. He is concerned that people will think less of him for keeping a person on staff who has failed the test twice. He also doesn't want to win because of an "attack" campaign.

In this case the Government team must support the statement: Sheriff Rodgers is morally justified to disclose his deputy's exam record.

Bronze Round: This house would deceive the press.

Gold Round: This house would offer Thanksgiving dinner to all Americans.
