ISSUES(:


 * Education ** - this bill is important to me because I believe that strong education is key. Education runs our economy and trains children jobs to help everyone’s future. We need stronger educations in order for everyone’s future to be better. Raising taxes go education purposes is worth it because schools can get the supplies they need to succeed.


 * Health Care **- the Health Care Bill is important to our state. Everyone cannot afford health care insurance so they struggle. We need to expand the state Health Care Insurance to cover 10 million children.


 * Criminal Justice **- this bill is important to the safety of our state. The 2.3 million in Recovery Act Funds for crime prevention efforts. This will help put more cops on the streets to help people say safe.

Why my bill? Well, many murders are taking place all around the country and they need to be stopped. The death penalty is a great way to help prevent murders and also to help the families of the victims. When the death penalty is legal in all states, murderers may not want to get caught and killed; therefore they will not commit the crime. If someone is murders, and the killer receives execution, then there is no way of them escaping prison. If they did not receive the death penalty, they can escape from fail and commit more murders. But the death penalty ensures that the killer will not commit anymore murders. HB39
