__**Representative:**__ A California Representative named Mary Bono Mack is now in her eighth term as a congresswomen. She was first elected in 1998 to the 45th district to replace the seat of her husband because of his death. She is very active with issues such as online privacy, data security, property protection, telecommunications, regulatory reform, consumer protection, energy production, environmental protection and the drug abuse between young teenagers and adults with young children. I chose Mary as my representative because she really focuses on issues that I actually hear about a lot, and that I actually see. Things like drug and alcohol abuse between teenagers and adults and internet security and privacy. I see these issues in like the newspaper or the news. Also, we both have common solutions to these problems which also made me choose her. [] As president in the coming reelection i would probably vote for Obama as our president once again. He has changed our country in a way of helping with money and jobs but also being a role model. As being the first African American president, he really sets a role model position for the African American people out there to do in what they believe in, and showing that any race can be the president. Also, when he did his speech at the State of the Union he said that we had gained hundreds of thousands of jobs. Which is good for our country because employment opportunity's have been bad for the past few years. Obama also saved American from going through a deep depression and he also saved the great big auto industries from crashing and burning from the great big economy decrease with money.

@HB57 **Guns to Protect Americans** Our bill’s purpose is to allow eligible Americans to obtain and carry guns in their houses in order to protect themselves in emergency situations. If someone were to break in and threaten you or someone you know in an unlawful manner, you should be allowed to use a gun as self defense or to defend others. In order to be eligible to own a gun in your household, you need to have a background check, training on use of a gun, and a gun safety test. You also must have a child lock or some sort of secret, protected, and locked area to store it away from all people. Consequences of misusing a gun include possible death penalty or life time sentence in jail with mental treatment. If the person uses the gun for violence in an unnecessary situation, then all rights to use a gun in that household are taken away. People should vote for this bill because it is reasonable for other peoples safety. Going through a long process of getting a gun is hard and the most responsible people would have a higher chance from actually finishing with their license and having their rights to have a gun. Today getting a gun can be so easy. This is why we have so many killings and gang violence. Setting tests and having to be in a certain level of intelligence and a good education can help prevent gun violence.

Congresswomen Mary Bono Mack and I have this issue in common because as she thinks that citizens in the United States shouldn't be paying the government all of their money so that they could spend it unwisely. She feels that the less money that is set of in taxes is not the best. She thinks that the citizens of the United States handles money more wisely than the government does. She supports responsible tax relief and a fairer and simpler tax code for the Americans economy. I agree with this because as we hand our money to the government by paying taxes sometimes we don't know where it really is going. Some taxes hardly make sense to even pay for. For example, the illegal drug tax. People pay this and the people that don't even do drugs are the ones that have to pay for it ans well for the people that actually do these illegal drugs.

Technology has built our world into new and far more easy things. We are able to do things that back then people thought were impossible and even magic. Technology has advance our world and helps us do amazing things. Mary believes that as technology advances so does the economy, because of the high demand in it. For as the Internet Mary believes that it needs more protection. She feels that kids can go on websites that they do not need to be on and that things need to be restricted more often. She also feels that the Internet is the main reason why we have so much bullying today and a result she wants to keep things on watch and secure for young kids. She wants kids to use the Internet as a good resource for a good education.
