5 facts relating to my 3 most important issue-

1. New York experienced 9/11 2. New York also experiences many other national threats 3. New York uses 4064.3 trillions BTU's of energy every year 4. New York has 179 state parks 5. One in five New York residents are poor, 20%

Issue Number 1- Enviroment and Energy I am for the conservation of energy. America is costing billions of dollars for oil and gas, which isn't even from America and causes polution. We need to find a way to mass produce cleaner energy like wind and water. And, it needs to be produced in America to open up more jobs and cost less money

Issue Number 2- National Defense I agree to bolster the forc of America's defenses to keep it a more secure and safe place. Air traffic needs to be heavily monitored in order to reduce the chance of suicide bombings and terrosist attacks. Ballistic missile defense need to be installed around the U.S.A. to stop the chance of missile attacks. Also, people need to be informed on what to do in case of a terrosist attack or a war. All these need to be done in order to increase of National Defenses.

Issue Number 3- Education All children should have equal education at an affordable price. Free schools should be set up for poor families, and schools need to have higher standars to help children get a proper education. A more educated country is a better country and a safer country. If everyone is better educated, there is bound to be less crime and since people will know things better they will be able to get better jobs and do them better.

The bill my group is writing is the P.R.O.P. Trading Act. Our bill will stop proprietary trading, or giving out risky loans. Preventing large banks from engaging in proprietary trading and losing money will help stabilize the economy
