Hannah Vitz State of California[| Jackie Speier]Democrat

Issue #1: Economic success should take percedent over environmental issues: this is a very important and diverse issue. I think the environment should come first for many reasons. Our environment is getting worse and worse everyday. Pollution is getting worse with all the gas from cars and factorys. Also our water such as fresh and salt water bodies are getting polluted with oil. We should cut down on driving or try to change to a less harmful oil to fuel our cars and other oil needed products. We should also just becareful to what we release in to the air.

 * The nickname of California is the Golden State because of the gold rush
 * 5 interesting facts about the issues im interested in:**
 * The california environmental protection agency is charged with developing, implementing, and enforcing the states environmental protection laws.
 * These state laws ensure clean air, clean water, clean soil ect.
 * California regards health care as a human right and is dedicated to ensure that all Californians have an affordable Health Care
 * california is the 23rd healthiest state to leave in.
 * California considers the Death Penalty unconstitutional.
 * The three issues that are most interesting to me, along with the position on these issues:**

Issue #2: Americans should have a right to affordable Health Care: Today 46 million people have no Health insurance and Health Care. Health care should be a right not a privelidge. I think governement should lower costa of Health care so everyone has a chance for medical care. 18,000 americans die every year from preventable illnessess because they do not get to the doctor when the should. This is six times the number of people who dies at the tragedy 9/11- but this happens every year.

Issue #3: The death penalty is cruel and an unusual punishment: The death penalty should not be aloud to be a punishment in California not only is it cruel but it also costs alot of money to do. the stuff used in the process of the execution is very expensive. Also i think i think it should not be the courts desicion to decide weither the person gets the death penalty. I think it should be banned everywhere in the United States.
