The important issues we have are who is going to be president of the united states in the 2012 elections, I think that Obama should not be re-elected because we have not really seen any of the jobs that "he" has brought in, the only place ive heard of anyone getting anything was working at casinos. We need a change of affiliation in office, a republican to change things up. Also the law that Obama passed saying that abortion and killing people older than a certain age is a large concern, it is murder. You wouldn't kill your grandson or granddaughter and imagine murdering a future president. Because thats what is going on, these are living breathing people with feelings, emotions, and souls. I do think that Mitt Romeny should be the new president because he wants to cut the wasted amount of __money__ the government is using. And also because he wants to take out random and usless taxes out such as the death tax.

Cantwell, Maria http://www.cantwell.senate.gov/contact/ Democrat She works hard for Washington, she has helped business's survive, she has made wise and educated choices, and she wants to make life more affordable for everyone. She has hope and faith for the American people and knows that there is hope in our strong American abilities. If I could vote, I would vote for Mitt Romney, I would vote for him because he is a republican and he is a business man. He started his career in business, he managed the Olympics in a tough time after 9/11. He is a common American citizen, and he has had political experience in having been Governor of Wisconsin and Michigan. Mitt has turned falling business's around, put $2 million in America's rainy day fund.

Criminal justice- Is the death penalty to harsh? Should sane children that have comitted crimes be let off as easy as they are now and that they get off with? I think that no mans life should be taken away even if anothers was taken. I do beileave though that in a case where the death penalty would __apply__ a life sentance in jail would be appointed instead, so that way they may change if possible and if not be punished and rot in jail for the ones they have hurt. Children who commit serious crimes are often sentenced lighter and sent to juvy or a correctional facility. I beileave that if a child comitted a crime on porpose then the sentence should be put through fully for a man or a child. But if the child has a mental disoreder someone else should be charged for letting it happen. Education- Students should have more review work instead of __home work__, things they are given should be more reviewd that answering questions. And then along with less homework more tests should be given with a lesser amount of extended responses than multiple choice. I feel this should be done so that there are not a lot of almost "mini tests" but students who learn and understand what they are being taught will show through more on these tests School starting times should be universal for all schools, but k-12 starting times would increase from just learing to preparing for getting up to go to work. School times should be ater so that students have more time to work and finish things up and times should be syncrinized by time zone. I also beileave that there should be more college scholarships given to more families in need and even families who are struggiling to pay for a colleg education. So that more Americans can have more jobs and so that America can become smarter and work together more. Environmental and Energy- I beileave that we need to do a more efficient job of protecting the world, more compost piles mreo recycling bins, and more unity to save our only home, because there is none other like it. We need to think more efficiently nd outside the box and stop destroying the Earth. We need to put more habitats back for the animals we tore away from them, we need to reduce or use, destruction, and cost of what we are doing to ourselves. We need to recycle the plastics, glass, and paper we use each day. And we need to recycle the atttitude of gratitude to have so much in America when there are countries like Africa that have next to nothing. And not complain about silly little things like not having ice in your drink or the new electronic that is coming out next month.I am not saying to go all out hippie about saving mother nature and stop animal testing, but I am saying to recycle that water bottle instead of letting go to some overfilled land fill and to carpool with a group of co-workers or other students and friends.
 * Some of the issues Washington is interested in dealing with are:**

HB8 Bill proposel: **Increase pay to decrease tax** Trying to increase job numbers in America by lowering government taxes being taken out on American workers paychecks. This bill applys to American workers and government official pay. It will increase jobs and cash but decrease government cash and funding. It will work by decreasing the tax percentage on each paycheck a worker makes, the tax that normally gets taken out for the government is decreased by 3%. In turn this will put more money into the economy and the paychecks of American workers, creating more jobs. And will not provide as much cash for then government to work with or have. This will also bring on an oppritunity to create more jobs for more hard working Americans. The fiscal impact on the bill will not caost anything, it will just take away $5.1 billion dollars from government spending and funds. They currently take out 6.85% which is $17billion dollars. But when you take away just 3% to make it where they only take out 3.85% will still give them $11.9 billion dollars to work with. []
