__**REP. Henry Young**__ __**State**__ : Florida __**State Capital:**__ Tallahassee __**Political Party:**__ Moderate

**__Representative:__** Tom Goodson __**Political party:**__ Republican __**Issues:**__ -Tom wants to stop illegal immigration -He wants the government to stop raising taxes, so the tax payers get what they earn -There should be a well educated work force and a flexible economy starting by opening up a port **I chose this person because...** I believe, relating to the issues, that if someone wants to become a citizen of the United States, then they should approach the government the right away.They should do that instead of sneaking through our borders (which is very dangerous). With the second issue I think people should be able to keep more of what they earn by lowering the federal tax. In order to improve the economy you need to promote a well educated workforce. Representative Goodson believes that the state should work harder in protecting its natural beauty while taking the resources needed to provide energy. People should conserve energy whenever possible so the amount of energy needed would be less. Awareness would have to be raised to make this possible. These are reasons why I chose Representative Tom Goodson.

In order to improve the economy he will set a foundation of free enterprise, hard work, and innovation which is a great basis in my opinion. To fix taxes Romney will try to reduce federal spending, bring down marginal rates to stimulate entrepreneurship and job making (which will help the economy). Over spending needs to be discouraged. People are spending more than what they have causing the national debt to increase. This "bill" is building up for the next generation.T he government is spending too much. Thirty-six cents for every dollar the federal government spends is borrowed. Romney's plan is to reduce government spending and the national deficit. These are a few reasons why I want Mitt Romney to be our president. I hope he follows through with his plans.

__**5 Issue Related Facts:**__ 1. A majority of all fresh fruit in the United States is from Florida 2.Florida produces less than 1% of the total energy it consumes per year 3.The largest consumption of energy in Florida is by building requirements 4.950,000 illegal immigrants live in Florida 5.In the U.S. $3.4 billion goes to educating the children of illegal immigrants

__**3 Important Issues:**__ 1. An issue that concerns me is the amount of pesticides used in farms and orchards. Since there is a lot of agriculture produced in Florida there needs to be a limit to the pesticides used on the farms. If people eat fruits and vegetabels from Florida we do not want to be poisoning them. That would create medical problems later on. The approximate number of people that die each year from cancer relating to pesticides is 10,400. Also, the percent of foods tested by the FDA that had pesticide residues was 38%. It takes about 10 years to make a pesticide illegal, so if farmers find safer ways on there own, produce and other foods will be safer to eat.

2. Another issue that concerns me is immigration. There are legal immigrants that benefit society.There are also illegal immigrants that cause a threat. There are illegal drug dealers and terrorists as well. Illegal Immigrants are not only physically dangerous, but it costs the government a lot to support them. It costs about $3.4 billion a year to educate illegal immigrant children and the U.S. born children of illegal immigrants. Florida has 7.3% of the national count of illegal immigrants. That is about 950,000 people. We should fix this problem by creating a stronger border patrol to make sure that none of these people sneak in and hurt our economic and social position.

3.My final issue that concerns me is the energy problems. Energy costs are high in Florida, and if they were lower, energy bills would be more affordable for families and businesses. Also, if we put time in finding and mining domestic oil we would not needed to pay as much for foreign oil transportation and costs. Florida produces less than 1% of the total energy it consumes per year. Floridians should be finding every small thing that they can to conserve energy. Just from transportation alone Florida consumes about 28 million gallons of gas each day. Instead of driving around, people going to similar places should carpool to save gas and in the long run, money.

__**Bill: HB44**__ **If China Can Do It, So Can We** My bill is a better way to protect our fellow Americans. As mentioned earlier, the bill proposes to build a wall along the United States-Mexico Border. The purpose of the wall is to greatly restrict illegal immigration from Mexico. As an added affect, it also will restrict drug trafficking. Most of drug trafficking into the U.S. comes from Mexico. The wall will stop trafficking and illegal immigration by land. Our country's border will be made stronger with this wall. Our country will improve in economy and health.

=
You should vote for my bill because it is for the benefit of you. It will make you safer in your homes, stronger in your health, and higher liklihood of an American citizen to get a job. Because Mexico is a country in poverty a lot of them can not afford to by a health care plan. that is why some of them come to America, to get a better life. Unfortunately for them they are doing it the wrong way. along the way they could also bring disease.=====
