**Congress Person ~ Representative Ann Marie Buerkle**

 * The representive that I am most alike in the state of New York would be Ann Marie Buerkle. I __agree__ with most of the republic representatives, which is what Ann Marie is. Also Ann is mostly interested in issues that __deal__ with the health of the city, which I believe in too. I agree with Ann saying the reason that the United States's education should be based on the state government, and what is correct for each state. This is why the Congress person from New York that I agree with the most would be Ann Buerkle.**

**Endorsment ~ Mitt Romney**

 * For President in 2012 I want Mitt Romney to be in control. The reason I want the person to be Mitt Romney is because I agree with a lot of the issues he deals with and what he says about the United States that we need to improve. Mitt Romney deals with a lot of issues with __jobs__, and also helping there to be more jobs for people to be working. He also has a lot of issues with __taxes__, like I do too. I agree with all of the posts he writes about each issue, and what he says on his website that President Obama has done wrong. This is why I want Mitt Romney to win the election of 2012.**

Mock Congress Bill ~ HB35

 * __N.P.U.W.D__ (No phone usage while driving)**
 * The purpose of //N.P.U.W.D.// is to enforce no phone use while driving. Most car accidents are caused by phone usage, texting, and talking on the phone. Why can’t people stop driving to talk on the phone or text? People need to learn that their life is more important than a text message, and a phone call. It is very had to keep your eyes on the road if you are paying attention to your phone at the time. This is why texting and talking on the phone are terrible to do while driving, and this bill is to help stop the people that do this.**

1. College Affordability

 * Easing the burden of rising college costs for families. College affordability is very important to me because it is not fair sometimes for kids that do not have enough money to not be able to have a good education. People that go to college have a better chance at getting a job that will get them more money, which is why I think college affordability is a very important key issue.**

2. Animal Welfare

 * Protection of the state's animal population to protect natural habitats. Animal welfare is a very important issue to me because I really love animals. Also a lot of animals are decreasing in population so if it is an issue to help the animals then more people will pay attention to it. That is why I believe animal welfare is a really important issue that needs to be adressed more often.**

3. Air Pollution

 * Pollution in the city affects the natural enviroment. Air pollution is a really important issue that people need to look at more often. Especially in New York because of how many people there are, and also how big of a city it really is. If people could walk or ride bicycles more then maybe air pollution could decrease. This is why I think that air pollution is another very important key issue.**
