Hi! My name is Representative C. Gill from Ohio. I am a Republican. The Ohio Congress person who has the most similar views on issues as me is Jim Jordan. His website is [].

Ohio is a very interesting state. Some facts about it include:

1. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is located here

2. Our state motto is: //With God All Things Are Possible//

3. We are the home of the first professional baseball team (the Cincinnati Reds)

4. Annie Oakly was born here

5. Fostoria, Ohio is the only city in the world that is in three counties Ohio is also having a few issues. Some of these include:

1. We don't have good water everywhere, which leads to a lack of fire hydrants in some rural areas

2. The unemployment rate in Ohio is the highest in the country

3. Our taxes are too high

4. The city of Cleveland was rated the worst in America, which really damages out real estate value

5. We have the highest forclosure rate in Americam which also damages our real estate value

The three issues that are most important to me are:

1. I am for Capital Punishment. I think it is perfectly fair. We have an overpopulation issue in this world, but we are going to keep murderers alive to live a super boring life in jail for the rest of their lives? That doesn't make sense. Some people might prefer to die rather than spending a life in prison. I'm just guessing, but I would think being in prison is kind of boring... Also, people in prison were probably living on the streets before hand and like their lives in prison better than their lives on the street. They get free food and shelter, which WE have to use our tax money to pay for instead of paying for more important things, such as fixing the economy. They are guaranteed free food and shelter for the rest of their lives, which could definitily be a step-up form their previous life.

2. I think if people want to pray before a public school event, that is fine. I don't think it should be organized so no one will be offended, but I think if someone wants to pray, they can do that and no one has the right to stop them. If someone decides to pick on someone who prays, they should be punished.

3. I think Americans should be able to buy as many guns as they want. Guns are mostly used for self defense. If someone wants to hurt you, they can choose any number of things to use. It is easier to defend yourself with a gun that a lamp if someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night. Also, if someone wants to hunt, they would need a couple of different guns.

The bill DCalder, MMost and I is going to add trash cans in parks. We are also going to establish different volunteer groups in every town to go out twice a month and clean their town. This will greatly reduce the amount of litter in our nation. It will save the lives of many wild animals and help the environment. Also, it could possibly give people jobs and help stimulate the economy if we do not get enough volunteers to clean the parks. Our bill's wikipage is HB85.
