__3 Issues That Are Most Important To Me__ 1. **Special Education*** I strongly feel that all people, no matter what disabilities they may have, have equal rights to all things, especially education. Treating mentally disabled children like everyone else is very important for them during childhood development. With a good education and a veiw as an equal in society, "special" children will be able to reach their full potential, even if they are mentally or physically disabled. 2. **Environment*** The environment is very important to me. We need to preserve the ecosystem for the generations that follow our own. Environmental Protection is perhaps one of the most "touchy" issues of our nation. There are very mixed emotions and opinions about what should be done about the environment. I personally feel that we should stop pollution as well as we can, slow deforestation, and find an environmentally-friendly, alternative energy source. 3.**Government Programs Discourage Able Bodied People From Helping Themselves*** One of the major problems in our country is how the Government financially helps able bodied civilians. It is very damaging to our economy and to the self-esteem of the working American. With the Government assisting people to lazy to work, those people think they can coast through life by living off tax dollars. That is not right in the least bit, and I strongly feel that way. It encourages other people, who are actually working now, to become lazy as well and waste valuble money that can be used for important issues, such as for the Environment or Special Education.

HB-80 - Our bill is for the preservation and protection of the environment. It proposes that windfarms are to be built along American coasts to provide an alternative energy resource. This alternative energy resource is clean, efficient, if placed in correct location (such as coast), very affordable in the long term and in the short term it is reasonably priced, and the energy is provided through the renewable resource of wind. I feel this bill will become very effective if passed. It will have a very positive effect on the environment. Future generations will follow the path to a healthy world by learning from our actions of putting the right foot forward.
