HGarnek

​ ​

My name is Representative HGarnek from the state of Texas. I am an independent party because i agree with both republican and democratic veiws over the bills and i also disagree with many aspects of both parties. The congress person that is most like me and my views is representative Ana E. Hernandez ([] ).

==HB83 : The Act of preserving Life and Decreasing Gun Control ==

My bill is about preserving life in both animals and people. It talks about solutions and what we can do so save life from hunting, suicide, homicide, and any kind of assult someone can do to another person. Gun Control is a huge problem in the United States and is often talked about. Our bills purpose is to reduce death thatis cause either by hunting animals, or the usage of a gunto shoot anotherperson intyentionally or accidentally. BY reducing gun control, we can safe peoples lives and could even reduce criminal activity if it has a strong enough impact.

TEXAS GUN CONTROL:
On the issue of gun control in the state of Texas and basically anywhere else, I encourage the right for people to own guns. I greatly dislike hunting innocent animals though. The only reason i say that i encourage gun control is for self defense against criminals. A gun is a sign of defense in my opinion and if someone tried to hurt you by trying to break into your home, assult you (physically or sexually),or anything else that could result in you getting injured, then the last resort of defense would be a gun. if you even own a gun, then it could reduce criminal activity because they wuld know that there is a chance of them getting caught or killed. Though guns are a self defensive weapon, they should NOT be used illegaly. They should not be used to kill another human being or another animal intentionally. If they are used innapropriately(suicide, homicide, or genocide) then anyone who helped this operation should be greatly punished. There is no worse crime than killing another person because you are only hurting yourself and everyone around you. guns should onlt be used for self defense and so i encourage this issue.

TEXAS ECONOMY:
Both Texas and the US economy rates have suffered and droppedgreatly over the past few years. Poeple have been losing jobs very quickly. The unemployment rate has increased in Texas from 6.8% to 8.2% and the US rate has increased even more. I support and enourage for someone to fix the economy and decrese the unemployment rate to even less than it was when we started having a bad economy. I think that people need to realize that they could be the ones losing their job and someone needs to do something about it. Expecially the government.

TEXAS IMMIGRATION:
<span style="color: #00f564; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Texas borders many states and even the country of Mexico. Texas has 420,000- 460,000 illegal immigrants in the state and more are comming. i am extremely againstillegal immigration in Texas and the United states. the state capital of Texas, Austin, has bills stacked all over their desks cutting off benefits to illegal immigration like taxing their remittances even south of Texas in Mexico. Also there are many other bills about making people require proof of citizenship at the voting booth. Obviously this issue is huge in Texas and the people don't like the illegal immigrants!
