Thinks there should be a "training wage" for all young employees 3. There should be DNA tests for any parent wanting to regain custody of their child. 4. Solitary Confinment doesn't count towards criminals sentencing in this state 5. They want to have political commitees when discussing bills

__Issues__ Issue #1- Illegal Imigration I don't believe there should be illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants should not be able to become citizens either in this country. If they want to become citizens, they should have to go through the process like all other immigrants do. They come over illegally, they have no money, and they steal Americans jobs becuase they will work for less pay. Why should we let them come over to our country, grant them citizenship, and put Americans out of jobs? Our country will over-populate and our ecnomy will continue to go down hill.

Issue #2- Debt in America I think we should stop wasting money on objects which do not affect us, and start putting it to good use. Our economy has been going down for a few years now, and its not getting any better. Why can't we work as a country to solve this problem, because if we don't, the problems will go from generation to generation, and they may never be resolved.

Issue #3-The war in Afghanistan I think we should keep the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq. If we take the troops out of the Middle East, terroists will come and attack our country and we could have another 9/11 incident. The troops are protecting our country from terroists, and until the government and the army feels it is safe to take our troops out of the Middle East, we should keep them there.

My Issue- The Death Penalty I highly believe in the death penalty. Why does someone deserve to live if they willingly killed a human being, for no sensable reason? If they take someones life, then their life should be taken too.I feel this is an important issue because it involves criminals that could be harmful to us in everyday life. They deserve to have their life taken away if they take someone elses life for no reason. A captiol crime deserves a capitol punishment. You can find more information on the death penalty through the document HB39 listed at the top of the page. HB39
