Issues: Issue One- Armed Services, My position on Armed Services is to get more prepaired by getting more people trained in case of any attacks on the United States before more wars occur. By getting more Navy, Army, Air Force, and Marines and get prepaired for any danger that comes towards the United States. Issue Two- Natural Resources, My position on Natural Resources is that we need to use more renewable energy resources and less that will pollute the earth more. By getting these resources there will be less pollutants in the air. By getting solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric dams and others we can save energy and the equitment will pay itself of when the resources begin to produce electricity. Issue Three- Veterans Affairs, My position on Veterans Affairs is to keep our spendings or improve them by spending more because as the nation fought for their lives to keep us safe, we should offer all the things we can to veterans because they deserve it.
