**Issue #1 that I was interested in:** Enviroment and Energy. There is a gas crisis in Louisiana. Over the summer of 2008, gas prices went up to $4.00 a gallon. As a solution, we should put other options of solar powered cars out in public, and we should also make them more affordable because they help the enviroment. Also, Democrats want to 'Go Green', but Republicans think that there are more important issues to focus on.

** Issue #2 that I was interested in: ** Crime. Many of the laws being passes are for crime. Even though there is a falling crime rate, 83 percent of Americans HAVE committed a crime. Atleast 6 laws have been passed and they are all constitutional because they all follow the 5th and 8th Amendments in the U.S. Constitution.

** Issue #3 that I was interested in: ** Education. Many people in Louisiana say that no child should be left behind. Every one is intended to go throughh grades K-12. Also, Louisiana is required to establish standardized testing.

** Support my bill! ** **HB3** My bill is about the death penalty. If you click on the link on the top of this page, then you can read about my wonderful bill. You should support my bill because it will take the murderers and rapists off of the streets. And if they are off the streets, everyone becomes safer! So, if you want your children and loved ones safer, vote for the my bill!
