 * My Preference for President:** I prefer Santorum because his ideas about the issues that matter to me are something I agree with. His views/goal for energy usage is something I agree with to some degree. His goals are to start using more renewable resources such as: Solar Energy, Wind Energy, and Hydro power. The one thing I disagree about his idea is that he wants us to start producing/self-supplying the U.S. with our own oil because the oil is polluting our environment ( [|Energy]). Another was his ideas on education. His ideas included, was making education more affordable, which would allow more kids to have an education. He also supports the No Child Left Behind Act which was to allow an assessment of basic skills to be given to all grades. ([|Education]) That is why I chose candidate Rick Santorum is preference for president.

Our number one priority is to improve the environment for our children and many generations to come. While we are improving the environment, we are also improving our economy by providing more jobs for our citizens. People should vote for this bill because it will help to provide a healthier environment for future generation. This will also provide more recyclable products to be used, instead of wasting the recyclable materials. Lastly by passing this bill we can decrease the spread of respiratory problems and cancer (such as lung cancer).

1.One issue that is important to me is poverty among U.S citizens and in other countries as well. I think that as citizens of the U.S should create more programs to provide for homeless/poor citizen. This symbolizes to me that we do care for those that can't provide for themselves and that we care for one another as a country. 2.Another issue for me is education. Everyone in the world should be able to earn/have an education, not saying that colleges should be free but more accessible. Education in my opinion allows great success and a brighter future for everyone. 3.Energy is another issue that concerns me because of the energy we use today cause pollution and loss of habitat in the ecosystem. We live on this earth and we should take care of it instead of treating it like a dump. The faster we start the better our environment will be in the future.

 * __Congress Person:__** The person I chose is Zoe Lofgren. I chose this person because of her beliefs on energy usage and education. Her beliefs about the energy usage is that we should try to cut down on our cosumption of fossil fuels and to use renewable resources. Such as, wind energy, solar energy, and bio fuels; these can be replenished in a short amount of time and will not pollute the earth. Another belief of hers that corresponds with mine is the issue about accessibility of an education to anyone in the United States. She believes that the U.S should make colleges more affordable because nowadays many cant afford colleges due to money problems and everyone deserves an education. Lastly is that she recognizes that many people are losing money because of our bad economy, even though it may take a lot of time to recover from this crisis, we can do it.[|Congress Woman Zoe Lofgren]
