__Three interesting topics:__

__Issue number one: Economy__ The US has lost over eight million jobs in the past 16 months. The US economy today is mirrored in deep recession. The US economy fails to create the 125,00 jobs needed just to keep pace with the population growth. So, I think that our government should stop closing businesses and stop home foreclosures, by lowering the taxes, so all American citizens can pay.

__Issue Number two: Education__ Parents want to send their children to safe schools where they will get the education opportunities that they need to compete in our global economy. There are a growing number educational alternatives ranging from traditional public schools, private or parochial schools, charter schools, school vouchers, private scholarship programs, and home schooling. So, I think that it is important that our government is spending some money on our schools, but not too much, and also, they shouldn't be taxing anything for our schools.

__Issue number three: Immigration__ There are many problems in the US right now with immigration. Many people feel that it is not fair for people who are immigration not to have to pay the taxes. Also many American citizens fear that these immigrants coming over will take their jobs, and it's not fair. The power Act, will protect our workers from Explosion and Retaliation Act. I think that it is okay for people to come to our country, but when they come sneak in and don't pay the taxes, and take our jobs, then it's not fair.

__Cut More, Spend Less. SB22__ This bill proposes that citizens of the US who cannot pay their taxes because there so high, they will be helped. People should support this bill because not everyone in our world can be quite successful as others, and when citizens loose their homes or businesses, it's not fair. People should also support this bill because if you were in need of this help, you would want it available and so this is why we are trying to pass it. So, we need to pass this bill so we can help all those in need, and if we get this bill passed it may also lead to helping our government out of debt, because we will be cutting out unnecessary programs and using part of those proceeds to help go to this bill, to help our US citizens.
