 * Facts Concerning Issues: **

__Energy:__ I'm a strong believer for conserving energy. I have sought to promote a well-balanced energy policy that provides a clean, safe, and reliable way of exerting renewable resources. One of my top priorties is too limit the use of oil and nuclear power plants in replace of using renewable resources including wind, solar, hydroelectric, biomass, and geothermal energy. The production of these resources will expand the economy, increase the use of advanced technology and forfeit the use of coal activity. So far the use of renewable resources only account for 2% of the United States electricty. I plan to raise that to at least 10% after my bill has been pass. __Educatuin:__ Education has been a major out-grow for todays economy. People have been paying less attention to there education day by day. I believe that education is the economy's key to the future. The more education students recieve, the more advanced technology will get. It is important that all students recieve quality education to survive in the 21st century. remember, smart people make the world go round! __Defense:__I am frequently confronted with the reality of threats to our national security, as well as the importance of maintaining our nation's readiness. Effectively responding to new and emerging threats requires a strong national defense, especially in light of the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001. Protecting the United States and funding the national guard is a major impact in our economy but its worth it since we should avoid another national threat and destroy the plans of terriosts.

I believe you should vote for my bill because it has a worthy cause. Our bill will help the environment and America.It can help create jobs and restart the economy. Our bill talks about conserving energy and building hydroelectric generators that save energy and replace fossil fuels. Using these green resources, we can also save the owners money and then put that back into the economy. In a way we are recycling the money used for this bill and it will pay off in a long run.
