Interesting Facts about Utah:

~Utah is theleader in Information Technology ~Capital of Salt Lake City ~Utah has three representatives in Congress ~Utah's economy is based on manufacturing, tourism, agriculture and mining. ~Divrse landscape with Mountains, high plateaus and deserts

Facts that relate to my issue:

~ Major Issuse there include transportation, funding for education and enviromental problems. ~ Educational budgeting is an issue in Utah. ~ There are many people in Utah that are unemployed. ~ One of the biggest issue in Utah is conservation of energy. ~ Government spending is directly effecting many states including Utah because the Government is spending too much money on projects that are not of high importance in the United States, many people in Utah think that we should be spending Government money in places like Conserving Energy and Education.

three issues:

1. Energy: I think that we shold conserve as much energy as we can and deveolp all of the energy availible to us in the United States. we should stop depending so much on other countries and use everything that we have to save money. However, I think that right now the economy is where we need to spending our money right now. The enviroment can wait when it comes to where we are spending money. Although, I do think that it is important to conserve energy.

2. Taxes and Economy: I think we should cut taxes where they are not being used for useful things. i think that taxes should only be used for things that will be useful to our country. Again i think that the enviroment can wait when it comes to where we are spending taxes. Once our economy comes back then we can worry about the enviroment in the United States. Unemployment is also a huge problem in our country and is another place where we could be spending our money wisly. I think if we cut projects that are unimportant we could save a lot of money. Our main focus right now should be paying off our debt.

3. Transportation: We need to give the recourses needed for transportation that need it, like Utah. Transportation is an issue in our country and we need to be given the recousres that are needed to make transportation easier for our country. This needs to be supported by taxes because it is a huge issue in many areas. Some places do not have the materials that they need that other places take for granite. We need to make sure that our country is funding places in Utah and other places that dont have the materials they need to have proper transportation for the area in which they live.

Our bill about Educational Funding: http://mockcongress2010.wikispaces.com/SB34

People should support our bill because it gives students the technology they need to succeed in their education. Also, this bill will get our country ahead in technolgy, as students learn more about technology as children, the more likely they will be to use it as an adult. As technolgy is becming more and more important, almost every job in the United States is required to use some kind of technology. This bill will not only fund schools to only get new computers but to get new technology that is improving every day. This supports Smart Bords and cameras and many other things that teachers and students can use to improve their educations. This bill will garuntee a higher education throughout the United States. This bill will support schools that have limited education first so that all schools will have an equal amount of technology according to how many Children they have in the school. you should vote for this bill because it is going to benefit our country as a wholr by putting new technology in schools.
