Economy-** I feel very strongly that we need to turn the economy around. Its vital that people get their jobs back, or get hired for new jobs. Currently the economy is affecting every family in the U.S. and something needs to be done about it.
 * 3 issues That Interest Me Most!
 * Health Care-** I believe that every citizen should have free health care. Health care is very important because medical bills can be extremley costly. It can be very difficult for a family to pay fore these bills especially with so many people out of work.
 * Imigration-** My position on imigration is that all imagrants should have options for a life in the U.S. The main reason most illegal imagranbts come to this country is for a better life for themselves, or their families back home. I think jobs and schools should be provided for them and the cost to become a U.S. citizen lowered.

I'am sponsoring the bill I.L.P.S. This bill will help to improve low performing or underprivledged schools, to help give the students at those schools a better education. This bill will provide these shcools with the proper teaches, technology, and materials to provide the students with a great education. This bill will make sure that just because a child's schools is underprivledged that they still recieve an equal education. I think people should support this bill because a good education is an essential aspect in a child's life. Children who lack a good education often have less oppertunities later in life. I believe that every child no matter where they live deserves a good education. Giving all children an enriched education will help better our nation's future!
