 * Alyssa Fejko-Representative from Massachusetts**

The Congressperson I am most like is State Representative [|Niki Tsongas].

**Massachusetts:**

In America's early history, Massachusetts was a center of abolitionist activity before the Civil War even started. From the sates economy focusing on manufacturing it has turned it's focused to its services. In the whole state it is 44% Catholic. Massachusetts has always had a strong commitment to its education. It is the most populous and wealthiest of the six New England States. Massachusetts is the 15th state in population. It has a majority of Democratic in it. All of its House representatives are Democratic. Congress member Niki Tsongas voted for the Affordable Healthcare for America Act. Most Massachusetts representatives were in favor of the Health care bill.

**3 Issues that are most important to me are:**


 * 1. High government taxes hurt the economy!** - I strongly agree with this issue. This issue hurts the lower and middle class. It makes the working class work longer and harder to pay and support a family and keep up with the bills. Yet, the high class Americans can easily pay these high government taxes. High taxes make it harder to rebuild our economy. We should start with helping our citizens first then the government funds. The taxes make the lower and middle class harder to live.


 * 2. Affordable Health Care** - Every American should be able to have Affordable Health Care. If someone gets seriously injure and doesn't have the money to afford it. The government should help pay it as a return of taxes the family has paid them. England has free Health Care and it has worked for them for about 50 some years. So, why not follow their example?


 * 3.The wealthy should be taxed at a higher percentage than the lower and middle class** - I completely agree with this issue. Mostly the wealthy are company owners so they should be able to handle more tax than the working classes. They could help their workers have a better income.

The reason I am proposing this bill is to help fix the health care bill and take care of some of its issues if all. This will help get hospitals up and running and give our citizens the care they may need. This may help gaining back money we lost from the debt we are in. This bill will benefit the tax payers, lower class, and government.
 * Bill: SB54**
