A sate representative I agree with on many issues is Gary Ackerman. A reason for this is he supported the ARRA. This helped fund many schools so they could help be modernized.

I believe Barack Obama should be re-elected as president in 2012. He and I share many views about the country. I'm glad he is continuing the No Child Left Behind Program that was started by George Bush. I think it is helping us a lot in funding for the schools. He is also helping to improve our environment by reducing oil imports by 10%. I also had most in common with him in the 45 questions survey.

HB63 Women on the Front Line The purpose of this bill is to help woman take up arms in the front line with men. Currently women in the military cannot fight equally in the military. Having the right to fight alongside men should have come with the right to vote. This bill is helping woman gain respect from both civilians and fellow soldiers. Women in the military should have rights similar to men. Not letting women have the same jobs as men, when they are fully capable of performing it, is sexist and insulting. I believe people should vote for this bill because it promotes gender equality. This bill gives women in the military the same rights as men. It also supports civil rights.

Issues: 1. Death Penalty- I believe that the death penalty should be legal. If a person does an extreme crime, such as murder, they should be severely punished for it. I believe death would be the acceptable punishment for such a crime.

2. Education- I believe the government doesn't give education systems as much money as they need. The government spends more money on jails and prisons than it does on schools. If the government spent more money trying to give kids a better education, they wouldn't need to spend as much money on prisons.

3. Separation of Church and State- I believe religion should have absolutely nothing to do with politics. If someone wants to make something legal or illegal, they should give a reason other than their religion says it's wrong. They should give a reason that can apply to anyone of any religion.
