The representative that I share issues and beliefs with is Bill Huizenga. Bill Huizenga is for anti-abortion rights and pro-gun rights, and I agree with him on these issues. I also think that it is a good thing that he is part of an organization called Habitat for Humanity. This is a nonprofit organization seeking to eliminate homelessness and poverty by building housing for the needy. This shows that he cares for the people, and is aware of the issues that take place in the world, and he is ready to take action and do something about it. Bill Huizenga

My endorsement for President in 2012 is Santorum. I would support this candidate because I agree with his views on many of the issues. On the issue asking whether abortion should remain legal in America or not Santorum said no, it should not be legal and I agree with him on that. Another issue I agreed with is should parental consent be required for pregnant minors to have abortions, and Santorum said yes, and I agree. One last issue that I agree with Santorum on is, should the federal government continue to subsidize big oil companies? Santorum answered no to this, and I agree with him. I agree with Santorum on many issues, and that is why I think he would be a good president.

SB49The United States has just been currently ranked 14th out of the World in education for 2011. Our goal is to improve America’s education, and get America back on top. This could be beneficial to our country because, our technology compared to other countries is not as advanced. To do this we will start American children’s education earlier, by making preschool mandatory. This will give America a one year lead on education on other countries. Therefore, making preschool mandatory it will make other grades’ curriculum be a step ahead of what it is now.

3 important issues:

There are many issues that I think are important, and here are three of the issues. The first issue I think is important is smoking. I believe that it should be illegal to smoke. I think this because nothing good comes from smoking; it gives you cancer and causes many deaths a year. Smoking causes about 5.4 million deaths a year. If tobacco companies wouldn't have started making cigarettes then people would have never gotten addicted, and then there would not be as many deaths. Smoking does a lot of damage to not only your lungs, but also the people that are around you. Second hand smoking is even worse for you then you just smoking a cigarette. So, if you think that you're not harming anyone but yourself when you smoke, you are wrong. This issue is important to me because people die every day from it, and a lot of people smoke, so that means a lot of people are affected.

Another issue that is important to me is, the food in schools. At school they are teaching us to make good decisions, and eat right but they are giving us unhealthy foods, and actions speak louder then words. I think schools could improve on what they put in the vending machines. I am not saying that the schools should take away all of the unhealthy foods, but they can take a lot of it away. The obesity rate in America has stayed very high every since 2003. Nearly 36% of adults and 17% of children are obese. The number doubles when the prevalence of people who are simply overweight instead of obese are also taken into account. By making a little change, giving kids healthy food in schools, could make a huge difference in Americas obesity rate. This issue is important to me because I am in school and I see some of the foods that the school gives us, and some of it is extremely unhealthy, and I know the schools can improve upon it, and it would affect me and my friends tremendously.

One last important issue is, I believe that Capital Punishment should be legal. I think that is someone is proven guilty of murdering someone, then they deserve to die too. It is better to have the person guilty killed then have them serve a life time in prison. When the murderer is in jail, the people paying for the them to eat and have a place to sleep are the tax payers. This means that this raises the taxes that you have to pay. But, if this person is killed then that is less money for the tax payers, and doesn't take up space that may be needed in the jail cell. This issue is important to me because my parents are tax payers and one day I am going to have to pay taxes, so I would not like to have to pay for this murderer to have a life time in jail. That is why I think Capital Punishment should be legal.
