CPeevler

 Hi I'm senator CPeevler from New Jersey. I view political issues in a demorcratic way. The congressmen that is most alike to me is Senator Sherrod Brown, here is a link to his site. []

 There are many interesting facts about New Jersey. 5 are.. The capital city is Trenton The nickname for New Jersey is Garden State. The State bird is the Eastern Goldfinch The state flower is the violet. the state tree is the Red Oak.

1. Death penalty has a cost os 253 million dollars. 2. Depending where you live, you may pay many taxes or just a few. 3. Taxes are highly priced on property. 4. They have welfare programs 5. New Jersey has high taxes depending on what the county votes.
 * 5 facts relating to New Jersey **

There are many issues i think are very important. the three that i find most important are high government taxes hurt the economy, only poeple who cannot work should be eledgible for welfare programs, and the death penalty is a cruel and unusual punishment. **High government taxes hurt the economy**- I think that this is a true statement. I say this because when taxes take money from people, people do not have as much to spend for what they need. The government takes an average of 17 percent of salaries. (Depending on jobs.) People are now working for more than what they get. Also the government is taxes items sold in stores. These taxes always get higher. some taxed items are furniture, giftware, toys, antiques, clothing and so forth. **Only people who cannot work should be eligable for welfare programs-** I agree with this statement because people who cannot work should have an oppertunity to still get the money. The major welfare programs are Medicaid, Food Stamps, Supplemental Secruity Income and Housing programs. Welfare programs are programs refering to impoverished (reduce to peverty) americans giving them benifits. **The death penaltiy is a cruel and unusual punishment-** I agree that the death penalty is a cruel punishment because when you have serial killers, and thrill killers, you do not want them to go back out into the world because the usualy will not learn there lesson and kill more people after jail. though usualy they would have a long sentence of jail and die there. The reason i think the death penalty is a crue punishment is because if you have someone who killed someone else and got away with putting the blame on someone else you wouldnt want that innocent person to be punished with the death penalty.

Here is a link to my bill. http://mockcongress2010.wikispaces.com/SB51 People should support our bill because it is helping lower the taxes on what people play for but still leaving money for the government to take from the takes for government programs.
