Political Party:Republican

The Representative I am most like: Chris Brown. He is in charge of the conservation of water and resources. I think that they are two important issues. Without the conservation of the resources they could be already polluted. We all need water to survive. It is important that we don't use up all of our resources at once. Earth makes us resources, and we should not take too much advantage of it and take all of the resources. This is why I am like Rep.Chris Brown. . [|Chris Brown Official Site] Endorse: Mitt Romney-He agrees like me that the troops in Afghanistan should stay. They are protecting America and the citizens in Afghanistan. He is, also, promising to reduce taxes by 25%. He is against the use of marijuana. He is thinking of new ways to stop it. He is, also, campaigning on a way to create more jobs. We are both Republicans.

House Bill Humane Death act HB31 This bill makes all of the states that due the death penalty have to make it painless by doing lethal injection, and nothing else. We are trying to abolish the electric chair and the gas chamber besause those can make the inmate suffer.

We want people to vote for our bill because we think that it is important for inmates on the deathrow to not suffer when they die. It is horrible that people have to suffer in the hands of the law. Think about yourself. You are on the deathrow, you have no choise weather to die or to live. Would you rather suffure, or have it painfree?

Issues- [|Crime] -I think that crime is an important issue. It is important that the people need to follow the rules. Crime can, also, put a citizen in danger. If people followed the rules, think of how easy and safe things would be for people. Some kids grow up with crime around them, and they get into trouble with the law. I think crime is, also, tearing apart families across America. [|Budget & Economy] The economy is an important issue because it is the center of our lives. It can either let us make money or lose money. It is important that we make money. People are losing jobs and their homes because the economy is down. People find it harder to pay for taxes and school fees. It makes it hard for every body. Poverty levels go up when the economy is down. Poverty should be abolished from America. [|Gun Control] I think that gun control is an important issue. Every year about 1,500 kids are hurt by a gun...sometimes in the hands of an adult. At some gun shows, you don't have to get a background check to buy a gun. The sellers could be handing the gun to a murder, and they wouldn't know it. That is how most criminals get weapons. The government has required all guns to have gun locks.
