__**Name:**__ Emily Cymanski __**State:**__ Flordia __**Ideology:**__ Moderate I chose George Miller for my congress person. He is a democrat, and is a representative for California's 7th district. I chose George because he believes in children having a good education. He is a good role model because he supports education, and he encourages kids to work harder and not drop out of high school. George is a leading advocate in Congress for education. Serving on the House of Education and Workfource Comittee since 1975, he is the Senior Democrat. He is on many committees supporting good education.
 * __Congress Person__:** George Miller: []


 * __Endorsment:__** My ensorsement for the president in the 2012 election is for Mitt Romney. I chose him because he agrees with my veiws on education and thinks that American children should have world class education. They deserve the best, because they will be the next generation of workers. Education is one of his top priorities and he believes in setting high expectations. Mitt thinks that children should be encouraged to learn, and that everyone should have the option of attending the best college for them, regardless of price. Getting into a good college can mean getting a good job in the future. Every child should have an equal chance.

HB38 The purpose of the Getting Kids Back On Track bill is to ensure that kids keep up academically in the classroom. That means if they are struggling, the school district needs to provide extra help. This help can be mandatory or the student asking. This can be a volunteer tutor, or a teacher re teaching the subject to the student. This would benefit the child because they will be getting one on one help to get them back on track with the rest of the class. This bill will not only benefit the children getting the help, but it will benefit everyone because the children will be able to do great things with the knowledge they learned. Voting for this bill will benefit the entire next generation. Children who have troubles or dropout will now have help and be able to acually get a good job and get into college. Passing the bill will defenitly lower the national dropout rate of teens. This bill will make a nationwide impact.

**__Issues that are important to me:__** **Child Obesity:** Helping to fight child obesity is important to me. If children get obese now, chances are they will not lose the weight later in life and will be obese as adults. Their children could be obese, becasue it can be in your genes. The parents of these children need to help them eat better and exercise more. The parents should also eat better and exercise more because they are a huge influence on their children. It can be something that runs in the family. Obesity can increse your risk of heart attack, and we need to stop it now. Also, it can make everyday tasks such as getting the mail or tying your shoes hard.

**Education:** Education for children is important to me. We are the next gereration and need to be educated to get jobs and make money when we are adults. Every child deserves a good education. If they don't, they wont be able to get into a good college. When you go to get a job, if you want a good one, you need to graduate from a great college that taught you well. Having a good education can benefit you in many ways other than getting a good job. Having a good education can make you smarter, have better speech, and a reliable source of information.

**School Lunches:** Another issue that is important to me is healthier lunches in schools. Junk food can give you energy, but not in the right way. It will give you a lot of energy for a short amount of time, then you just crash when the energy is burned. Healthy foods give you long lasting energy that helps you to get through your classes while staying focused. It can also benefit you by performing well in sports. Healthy food make you feel better than greasy, deep fried food. Eating healthy can make children feel good about themselvs because it can make you look and feel great.
