 * The 3 Issues that are most interesting and important to me, along with my position on those issues:**


 * Issue Number 1-** Foreign Policy

I think that the U.S.A. should become allies with countries that have resources we need. They should mantain these relationships by lending a hand in their country or trading with them. Our government should definitley keep to themselves during foreign affairs. Only when it is absolutley necassary should they become involved with other affairs. We don't have the time or money to play around with other countries. Like the saying goes, "mind your own beeswax".


 * Issue Number 2-** Education

I believe that schools are always trying to get students to interact. So I think it would be a great idea if instead of having lunch at different periods and early times, everyone should have one lunchtime and everyone would eat together. I also think that school should start at 9:00 am and end at around 3:30 because waking up early is hard on bodies. Its even worse on children's bodies.


 * Issue Number 3-** Immigration

I think its great that people are coming to America because its a great country, but I don't think its okay for them to be taking American's jobs. The economy is bad right now and Americans can use every penny they can get. It's not helping when immigrates work longer hours for shorter pay. They are obviously going to get hired before Americans. I don't think we should restrict immigration but try to prevent it at the least.

My Bill~Lowering Illegal Immigration: SB1

You should vote for this bill because it offers a lot for America. Not only does it provide more jobs for Americans who may need jobs but it will also make America a safer place to live. As everyone knows, the economy is down right now and many people are loosing their jobs. This bill requires more border patrol to make sure that people are not crossing the border illegally. If they find someone that does try to cross the border illegally, they will punish them in whatever way the state believes is fair and legal. My having more border control it offers people a job to protect their country as well as stop illegal immigration. Also, illegal immigrants can be very dangerous. They can smuggle in weapons, drugs, and even people to America. All these things are very dangerous and with more border control it is harder to sneak across the border. This bill lets immigrants become citizens for less money. It makes it easier to have the rights that everyone deserves. I honestly believe that this bill will work and should be voted for. Please vote for this bill!
