 * __Shared Views:__** Renee Ellmers : I chose Renee Ellmers because she has a lot of the same views as me, and she is a Republican. Renee is encouraged to change the current health care. Everyone deserves health care that is right for them and health care that they can have more of a say in. She also believes that we need to find a new source of energy and stop depending on foreign oil. She wants to use more things like solar and wind power, which i think is a great idea. Renee also thinks that one of the steps that should be made to repair the economy is to lower government spending, and not make taxes higher. One last thing I agree with Renee on, is with education. She wants the power in the schools to be in the hands of the teachers and the school boards. Renee Ellmers======


 * __Endorsement for President 2012:__** I chose Rick Santorum for President. One of the reasons I favor Rick Santorum is because he wants to get rid of ObamaCare. He believes that everyone has the right to affordable, high- quality health care that they can choose. Another reason I chose Santorum is because he believes that the government must create an environment for families and small businesses. He wants to give all Americans the chance to live the American dream. Santorum wants to create more jobs for Americans, and make simpler taxes for American businesses, workers, and families.He wants people to be able to create a successful business.

The purpose of our bill is to stop parents from harming their children by continually letting them eat unhealthy foods. Many children have become obese and ill from over eating too many fats and sugars. This issue usually starts at home when parents don’t monitor their children’s food intake. We would like to prevent this by promoting exercise and healthy foods among the country. If this happens the children should be given a strict warning. And then if the issue continues the children should be removed from their home to get the proper nourishment. This is all to stop the rate of obesity in our country from growing anymore.

 * 3 Important Issues:**
 * Issue 1:** One main issue that I think is important is the economy crisis. There is a lot of unemployment and very high taxes in the U.S right now. Since the elections in 2008, the unemployment rate has gone up about two percent. President Obamas plan was to institute programs to help small businesses and comsumers, but his plan failed. I think that we need to lower our government spending and create more manufacturing jobs. The national debt is the highest it has been since World War II. In order to lower the national debt, our government needs to be much smaller, and stop investing in things that are unsuccessful.


 * Issue 2:** Another main issue is the current healthcare. Right now, the current plan gives everyone the same healthcare, and the goverenment controls it .I think that the people with the healthcare( the patients) should be in control of their healthcare and make their own decisions about it. Currently, there is a health care bill that has yet to go into effect. This bill would require all businesses to provide healthcare. This would be very expensive,and small business would suffer because the health care could pay for other important expenses such as more employees. This could really harm business financially and I do not think it should pass.


 * Issue 3:** One last issue I think is important is immigration. Currently many illegal immigrants are in the U.S. Twenty-Eight percent of the U.S foriegn born citizens are unauthorized immigrants. This means it is very easy to get into the U.S and that the security is very low.The illegal immigrants are taking from our government but not giving anything back, which is not fair. I think the U.S needs to tighten security at the borders and work on more defenses at the borders also. We do not need to make any new laws on this, but the laws that we already have need to be better carried out. Illegal immigrants should be sent back to their country and enter the U.S the correct way.
