HB34 The purpose of our bill is to stop the death penalty nation wide. The death penalty has been around for a while but now needs to be stopped. It may seem like a good way to stop someone from killing another human being, but it is unconstitutional. The government should not be killing people for breaking the law, that’s what we have prisons for. People can be in prison their whole life, but we should never take one’s life for their wrong actions. This will stop families from losing loved ones.
 * Title: Kill No More**

Vote yes on "Kill No More." Vote yes for everybody nation wide whose family this is affecting. If you think the criminals deserve it, think about being the son of the criminal who will never see his father again, and wont know what it is like to have your father. Nobody deserves to have their life taken by the criminal system. Capital Punishment is no more then America being murderers. Vote yes for the children who want to keep their families together.

**Economy:** Agriculture; Dairy products, cattle and other livestock, apples and other fruits Industry; printing and publishing, scientific instruments, and machining

**5 interesting facts:** 1. Woodstock was held in Bethel, NY 2. 1st capital of U.S.A was New York, not Washington D.C  3. Smallest church 3.5' by 6' 4. Has 722 miles of railroad track 5. The Big Apple is a term by musicians meaning to play big time

**Issues:** 1. An issue in america is the jobs, thousands of people now are loosing their jobs and cannot afford simple things they need in life. This issue can cause little children to go hungry. Also it can cause people to loose their houses, just because they cant afford to keep there home. So what can we do? We need to find ways to get more jobs. I believe if we had casinos country-wide. With casinos there would be plenty more jobs, more money coming into every state with the casino in it, and bring happiness to many people with the good times shared

2. In today's society a very popular issue in America is medical marijuana. Many people have diverse opinions about the topic. In New York it currently is a pending issue. So should it be legal for medicinal purposes or not? The answer is it should be, for medicinal purposes and should be strict. If the country were to regulate and legalize it for medicinal/ industrial uses, cannabis would bring in much profit to the United States that it could help reduce our economic deficit. Also, with the tax revenue that will be obtained, our nation can put it towards things such as education. Not only would cannabis alone bring money, money would be saved because we would be able to put less money towards the DEA for marijuana. An estimated 100 billion dollars could be made from tax revenue in America. Plus all the jobs brought in because of the stores where its sold, and the growers themselves. Money is the bottom dollar as its always been.

3. Lastly, cyber bullying, the more technology we get is just making this cause worse. Everyday this gets worse and there is not much we can do to stop it. Cyber bullying is astoundingly killing people. 11-25 children commit suicide a year just from being cyber-bullied With the bullying that goes around, it gets to the point where they kill themselves. This issue is more serious then it has ever been because it is so hard to do anything to stop. W e can reach out to the kids and try to get them to stop and change. Everyone needs to be apart and do there best to hep stop the madness.
