South Carolina was one of the 13 original colonies Entered the union in 1788 This was the state that the first battle of the civil war took pace at Known as "The Peach State" Also, this state is home of the first fireproof building!!!
 * 5 interesting facts about South Carolina include:

5 important facts about the government in South Carolina First, one of the biggest issues in SC is obesity Some people here are trying to get a permit to dispose nuclear waste They are always trying to preserve their wetlands they stopped making landfills when they started interfering with the animals Finally, there is a huge amount of wetlands in my state.

3 topics that i am interested in are, 1. illegal immagration,i believe that there should be the same amount of border patrol but i also believe that we should allow immagrants into the United States under protection but i dont think we should allow illegal immagrants to get jobs until they become citizens 2.environment and oil usage, i believe that we should make sure that people arent unnessasarily using oil and also we do a better job with protecting our oil to reduce spills 3.drug abuse. i think we should be much stricter about the people who sell drugs, we shouldnt allow any drugs into the US and if someone is caught with drugs we should have a more severe punishment.

My bill is trying to make it so that oil will be contained in iron containers that will sink to the bottom of a body of water and be able to retrive later when needed. This is supposed to reduce the risk of oil spills (such as the BP spill) and also it will save a lot of room and money for the government becasue they wont have to spend as much money cleaning up oil spills, which could cost up to 3.5 billion dollars! **
