 * __Three issues most important to me

Wastful spending-__** Rob Wittman wants to abuse fraud and abuse washington.Wittman also stated that we need to get back on track on conservative princibles of controlling spending,particularly when it involves federal earmarks.Wittman wants to fix the broken. Moratorium- legally authorized postponement before some obligation must be discharged **.E**armarksare funds provided by the Congress for projects, programs.


 * __Health care-__ M**any people are concerned about rising costs,accessibility and quality.Increased afforidability and accessibility are two main goalsthat Wittman wants to work twords legislative changes.Wittman thinks that patients should be making health care decistions with there doctors and not the insurense industry.Wittman is dedicated to improving the nations health care system as long as he reduces the number of uninsured indivduals and familys.

__**Civil Rights**__- I want to lower the voting age of teens who are 17 years of age.At the age of 17 teens are legaly aloud to drive and they already pay taxes ,so why can't they have a say in our government.Not to mentchion if we lowewr the voting age to seventeen the government will have a greater view point on what the population wants to happien.

HB7 I want the voting age to be lowerd so when teens turn 18 they wont have as much preshure on their plates as they would if the bill wasn't approved/passed.
