__**5 Interesting Facts about Indiana**__ - 9 U.S representatives - Nickname is the "Hoosier State" - capital is Indianapolis - Senators are Richard Lugar and Evan Bayh - Agriculture is the main activity and Indiana is the lead producer in popcorn.

__**5 important facts about Indiana that relate to my issues**__
 * - Indiana's death penalty occurs only if there is a crime of murder
 * - The method of exectution is lethal injection
 * - No permit is required for possesion of a gun
 * - Schools are allowed to say prayers before school events
 * - Minimum age for a victim to be excecuted with the death penalty is 16 years old

Death penalty - I think that the death penalty should only be used for a third degree murder or the crime of rape. It shouldn't be used for accidental murders and other minor crimes.
 * __The three most important issues that interest me are the death penalty, giving of a prayer before school events, and possesion of a gun.__**

The giving of a prayer before school events - I definitely think that prayers should be given before all school events, but if someone is anti-religous, they can leave for the prayer. This is fair for everyone.

Gun possesion - I think that any citizen over the age of 21 should be allowed to own a gun only if they have a gun permit. This way, crazy people don't have guns, and younger people don't. If we let younger people own guns and people without permits own them, who knows what they would do.

SB32: Our bill is focused on the death penalty. It is trying to enforce the death penalty to all 50 states, and not just 38. It also talks about the limits which makes it that the death penalty is only to be used for 3rd degree murder, extreme 2nd degree murder cases, and the crime of rape. People should definitely vote for this bill because it will decrease the rate of murders and also decrease the overall amount of murder cases each year.
