3 Issues that are most important to me: 1. Environment & Energy My position on the environment & energy issue is i think there needs to be more put toward the efforts to reducing pollution and creating a more green Earth. There are many ways we can go more green than we already are, like using paper bags instead of plastic bags, and using wind, solar, and water energy instead of coal and oil. We all need to work together to work on this issue though, and i think it is possible to make a change very well needed.

2. Education My position on the education idea of No Child Being Left Behind is a really good idea i think, because every child i think deserves to have a fair and equal education, and the chance to learn and be whoever they want to be. Some people might not be able to pay the taxes for education, but with the No Child Left Behind law every child will go to school, and the people who cannot pay the taxes will not be penalized in any way.

3. Economy / Taxes Our economy is not doing very well right now, and i think this is another important issue in the United States Government today. Many people shop and become broke, then cannot pay their bills and taxes anymore, and many times in that case people go into forclosure and do not have a house anymore, all because they did not pay their taxes and bills. We can stop this by not spending so much and keeping up on payments.

Bill:**HB8** The Bill I am supporting is The S.M.I.L.E bill. This Bill is going to accomplish a more eco-friendly planet, that is healthier and cleaner over all. This Bill is going to urge people to recycle and not pollute in order to lead a healthier & cleaner life style. This Bill will provide the Government with money to give to nature groups, and will also provide people and cities with everything needed to do so, to support this bill.
