__Enviornment and energy__

I think that enviornment and energy is a very important issue in the United States. I think this because i think that people in that state are doing something to try and improve the enviornment. For example, throughout the state, they have been building things like windmills, solar panals, and renewable systems. Which helps with improving energy. Which is better then using products like coal, oil and other non-renewable sources of energy. And when you use non-renewable sources like those, you put dangerous and harmful chemicals in the enviornment. And i think that what the government should do to further improve the enviornment is by taking more money out of the federal budget and using it to further do research on enviornment and energy.Which in time would help improve the enviornment

__Foregn policy__ i think that foreign policy is a very important issue in very imprtant issue in the United States. This is because if we don't improve foreign relations with any country, then we could have a lot of enemies. And I think that the country that we should try to improve our relationship with the most is China. This is because their influence in the world is growing. and i would rather have them be my friend then my enemy. and one question is should we stay more to ourselves or should we be more active with the United Nations. I think that we should do both equally. This is because if we don't keep a little to ourselves we won't have a good country. And if we don't have a good relationship with the rest of the world, i don' think that we will make more enemies then friends.

__National Defense__ And finally, i think that one of the most imporant issue that we face here in the United States is national defense. i think that it is an important issue because we need to protect ourselves against terrorists. and without national defense, we would not be able to dot that. i also think that a way the government can further improve national defense is by adding more security measures then it already has. For example, adding things like more security cameras in public places like airports, train stations ext... so that terrorists will have a harder time trying to harm us.

__Information on my bill__ The topic of my bill is national defense. It is about how the government of the United States needs to focus less on other issues and focus more on national defense. but how does my bill do that? What happens in imy bill is that a new tax is added to the United States. And the money from the tax will be used for research for the MDA(missle defense agency). And what my bill will acomplish is more knowledge to fight terrorists and keep our country safe.
