Josh Nutting(R), Washington, [|Jim Mcdermott]

I picked Jim Mcdermott because he is for creating new jobs through advances in technology and education. Also, I agree with him on how advancing in technology by spending government money will end up being a good thing because we will be able to profit off of the new technology. Another reason why I chose Jim Mcdermott was because he thinks that everyone should be on the same page when it comes to government spending. On the medicare issue I agree with Jim because he is a Doctor and views the U.S. Healthcare from the point of view of a physician and the patient.

Endoresment for President:

[] My Endorsement for President is Ron Paul. I believe that Ron Paul could limit the size of goverenment by cutting useless goverenment agencies and limiting the power of the useful ones. Ron Paul is an extrememly strong advocate for the constitution and would defend it if president. Right now i feel that the current president is ballooning the size of government and our nations debt is spiraling out of control. I believe that if Ron Paul was elected president he could turn this nations economy around, reduce our debts, and create jobs by cutting regulations and allowing small buisness to grow and create jobs.

HB56__Mock Congress Bill__ Purpose: The goal of this bill is to allow young adults over or the age of 16 to be able to vote. This issue is important because when a child becomes a teenager they have enough knowledge about the world and events taking place that gives them the right to vote. This will solve discrimination against young adults in political views. If this bill is passed then the young adults will be able to actually go to a voting booth and vote for the best candidate. About 90 years ago women were not allowed to vote, now women have a major role in elections, without them we might not have made history by electing the first black president. Kids feel that their future is being decided by the generation before them when really they should be able to decide their own destiny. Especially with multimedia-based society young adults are exposed to more information than ever. Therefore young adults the age of 16 and over should be given the right to vote.

The issues: The issues that are most important to me in America today is the plummit of America's economy. This is most importantant to me because without money you can't do anything and when you can't do anything thats when the riots start and countries fall apart. The unemployment rate is very high in this country. Also, energy prices keep fluctuating causing many people to lose their homes. Another issue that is important to me is abortion. Abortion should be a flexable law. Abortion should be a flexable law because if a girl is raped and gets pregnant, she should be able to get an abortion because it was not her fault for getting pregnant. But if a girl purposely gets pregnant then she should'nt be allowed to get an abortion. Another important issue is gun control. People should be allowed to own a weapon using proper permits and abiding by state laws. I think this because of the amendmant in the constitution that states that people have the right to bear arms.
