HB53 SNowak Name: Sam Nowak Political Party: Republican State: Virginia The Congressman I most agree with is Jim Moran. We are most alike because we agree on the same topics and we mostly agree on helping the earth with eco friendly bags and recycling all the time. We also both believe in solar power and wind power having to be more of a factor in our future. The link for Jim Moran is here:http://moran.house.gov/ __Interesting facts about Virginia__ __Important facts about Virginia that relate to the death penalty__ __Issue #1 Right to Bear Arms__ I believe that the problem with the right to bear arms is that this law is an accesory to murder. Many criminals may use this law for their own good and buy guns to murder or create any other heinous crimes. We need to fix that by first allowing only people who have no criminal record the right to own a gun. Also the age for being able to bear arms should be at 21 when you are out of college. That would be the best solution for this problem today __Issue #2 Gay Marriage__ I believe gay marriage should be allowed no matter what. It is a person's right to live life how they want to and shold have the right to be happy. I believe it would be descrimination to not allow gay marriage. It can be compared to not allowing a kid to go outside because his parent won't let them. They should be given the right marry the way they want. __Issue #3 Preserving the Ecosystem__ I believ we can take big steps into helping the ecosystem by turning off lights, unplugging the phone charger at night or when not in use, we can find better solutions for bags when we go grocery shopping like using ecofriendly bags that break down or paper bags we can reuse. All these things would mean a big thing if we all did it. We could also carpool or walk or bike to destinations to cut down on gas. If we chipped in little by little, we could help the enviornment a lot. __Why You Should Vote For Our Bill__ Our bill will save taxes for criminals on death row by shortening the period of death row and that will save money for the taxes we pay. We won't have to pay for food, clothes, shelter, and water. You will save money and insure the death penalty is still in use. You should vote for this bill because it will promote the death penalty and save extra taxes to help better causes than murders in the U.S.A. This bill will allow money to be used for anything we need it for. Say Yes to HB53. __Soureces Used__ 1.Racial and geographic disparities in ohio executions."(2010):h.pag.web.15may2010. [] 2.
