Issue 1: Environment One of America’s problems is our Environment because it’s not in good shape. One way to do that is to reduce waste and save power. We are using up all of our non renewable resources. I think the government needs to set up facilities to use renewable resources to preserve as many non renewable resources as possible. Such as wind, rain, and sunlight could be re-used. We also need to preserve our forests and make recycling mandatory in every city. Issue 2:Education I think the problem with education is that some schools are not getting enough funding so thay are not getting a proper education. They could cut some funding from schools that dont need and give it to schools in need. Issue 3: Gun Control I think as American's we have the right to own guns but no everyone has guns. Including dangerous people, I think the goverment should be stricter in who they let buy guns. I think thier should be more rules on where you can take them. Also America needs tighter secrurity in public places where guns would be a threat.

SB26 You should vote for my bill because it will help solve childhood obesity. If that happens health care and taxs will go down because we wont have to pay for other peoples medical bills because they can't afford it. The children will have longer healtheir lives and right now they are estimated to have shorter lives than their parents.That is the first time that has ever happened in the U.S.A. 1/3 of all children are obese. This bill will help solve all of this.
