 * Five issues related facts about my state Texas that I think will be most important in voting in the Mock Congress. **

Issue 1:**Enviroment: I feel the environment is very important because this really impacts our future. If the environment turns out really bad and then many animals will be killed along with plants and our land. Every day we pollute the air too much and we are ruining our ozone layer. With all the factories, cars, buildings, and houses we can find pollution. **Issue 2:**Imigration: I feel that many immigrants are coming into the Unites States. This is giving jobs to the illegal immigration and many Americans are losing their jobs. The United States should make sure their security should be stricter and hire more people to make sure that not any people cross the border.
 * Three issues that are most important to me:
 * Issue 3**: Health Care: I feel that everyone in America should have health care. All Americans should feel welcome here and want healthy lives. Everyone should get health care free. If they get sick they need to have the proper care and not be ignored. America should make a hospital for people who cannot afford health care.

Information on my bill: 4 R Air (look at top for the bill link) My bill is on Pollution from factories. Many factories are polluting the air a lot from all the harmful fumes they use. This pollution is affecting the animals out lakes oceans, and our health. Many workers are getting sickness from the harmful gases their lungs are getting exposed too. This topic is important to me because there are many factories in America. All the pollution from the factories is just adding to all the other pollution. I feel that we can stop the large amount of pollution from the factories. If we do stop or slow down the pollution there will be a lot less pollution in the air. If all of the factories just limit the use of gas and oil this will help. The ozone layer is becoming really thin and we want to stop that from happening. You should vote for my bill because I feel that pollution is a very serious topic. Many factories are pollution the air too much and it is hurting many things. If you do not vote for my bill the ozone layer will get very thin and the rays from the sun will hurt all of us badly. Many workers are dying because of the fumes and that is not good. Some of the regular day people will also have these fumes in their body and can get the sickness and spread to many other people.
