 * Zachary Francisco**
 * __State__:**California


 * __Representative__**:The representative that I feel I most resemble from the state of California is John Cambell and he is a member of the House of Representatives. One issue that we both would vote against is that the United States should give money to Mexico to fight drugs when many U.S. states are in debt, not to mention that the United States has a national debt in the trillions. So instead of giving away money that we desperately need, we should use it to lower the national debt. Another issue that we agree on is that he voted yes on promoting free trade with Peru and I agree. I agree with this statement because if the United States trades with foreign countries then we obtain new goods and can build relationships with that country and be able to ask for assistance from that country if we ever need it. Another issue that we both agree with is prohibiting job discrimination based on sexual orientation. I agree with this because a man and a woman should be able to have the same job opportunities, especially in these times. As you can see me and John Cambell have the same opinion on some important issues and that is the reason why I feel that I am most like him and these are just some of the issues that we agree on. **__Official Website:Congressman John Cambell__**(Click on the first Link)

 * __Endorsement For President:__** I feel that Ron Paul should be the next president of the United States. One reason that I feel that Ron Paul should be president is that he has political experience such as being a candidate for many political positions like a representative in the House of Representatives. Another reason why I think that Ron Paul should be the next president is that he has been involved in various professions such as an Author, Captain in the United States Air Force, was apart of the Air National Guard, and an Obstetrician-Gynecologist(Medical). With his experiences in these different fields, it makes him an excellent choice for president because it helps him decide what is best for the country by having experienced some of the job positions that are being affected. Another reason why I think Ron Paul should be president is that he went to college and got an education. He was educated at BS, Gettysburg College, 1957 and at MD, Duke University School of Medicine, 1967. The last reason why I think Ron Paul should be president is that he is a member of numerous legislative Committees such as Financial Services, Foreign Affairs, and many more.

In America today there are many small issues and many big issues that are in existance nationaly. One of those issues that I feel is very important is obesity. If you do not know what obesity is then here is the definition. Obesity-the condition of being obese in which you are of increased body weight caused by an excessive accumulation of fat. One reason that obesity occurs so often is that it is run by emotions most of the time and a typical human being experiences a lot of emotional things such as breaking up with a boyfriend/girlfriend or making a mistake that will change your future. When people are in emotional pain and cannot resolve that pain by just ignoring it, they will try find an alternative and most of the time they will try to fill the void with food. For some odd reason food that you think may taste good helps get your mind off and relieve you of the phycological pain that you might be feeling. An interesting statement is that nearly two out of every three Americans are obese. It can also occur if you just have poor eating choices. I feel that if America wants to become healthier then we need to make better eating choices and support each other in times of trouble. One of the biggest issues in America today is our source of fossil fuels depleting at a increasing rate. People move from place to place either from public transportation, their own car, walking, or any other way they can. Most people travel in automobiles which mostly run on gas which is a fossil fuel. If you think about how many car owners there are on your block and how much gasoline you use in a day and add it all up, then you are going to get a large number. Now what if you did your block and block next to you. An even larger amount of gas being used. Now think about your state and then the whole country and that is probably a number that will never be calculated. Not to mention that once the gas is used it goes into the air, and it pollutes our atmosphere and contributes to global warming. This is not good at all, especially because the demand for fossil fuels is growing and we have a small dwindling supply. Another consequence would be that fossil fuels are very expensive and if the United State continues along this spending path then the United States will spend an estimated 23 trillion dollars on fossil fuels between 2012 amd 2030. One other issue with using fossil fuels is that they support the United States econmy and if the demand for fossil fues was to fall dramatically then the econmy would go down with it. I feel that we should do what the United States did with The Slave Trade and keep fossil fuels in our econmy, but in about 20 years we should make fossil fuels not a huge part of the econmy and make sure that if the supply decreases by a lot that we should be able to still have a some what stable econmy. To ensure that we do not go through another Great Deppression. One issue in America today is the use of biological weapons. If you do not know, a biological weapon is a virus or bacteria of some sort. This is an issue because there are reports of these weapons being used on people, plants, and animals without informing U.S. citizens. These viruses can injure or kill if contact is made. It is believed that biological weapons were starting to be invented during the Second World War. A big issue is that these biological weapons were tested on American citizens with or without their permission. Also, when these tests were conducted on plants and animals the environment was being put in danger to an even farther extent. Some of the experiments were performed in the open air and were not contained causing more environmental issues and the viruses and bacteria to be released into the country. American citizens were not informed.
