 * State**: New Hampshire


 * Political Party**: Moderate


 * Representitive I'm Most Like:** The representitive that I am most like is Ron Sandack. Ron Sandack is a republican. A few bills that he is interested in are School Choice Act, Child Murderer Regristration,Safe Haven-Infants-Police Dept., and CIV Union- Religious- Adopt AGCY. Ron is the former mayor of Downers Grove. He is married with two children and he is partnered with the Chicago law firm Gaido & Fintzen. He is a minority speaker and he graduated from the B.A University if Illinois and J.D DePaul University of Law.


 * Endorsment for President:** I feel that our president for 2012, and the 3 years after that, should be Barack Obama. I feel like he could do a lot more if we give him the chance. In his speech he had some really great ideas for the coming future. Although he has had some mishaps, he has done a lot for our country. He is trusted by many Americans which will help throughout his presidency. He believes in making kids stay in school to get a better education which will help the economy a lot. Also he believes in bringing foreign exchange students to the U.S and letting them stay here so they can get a better education. Both of those things will have a very positive impact on our country.


 * SB46- Live or Die, On Death Row:** This bill was written to stop the overcrowding of prisons and to lower the taxes that people are paying to keep these people alive who will no longer contribute to society. Prisons are becoming overcrowded which is causing other criminals to be let out early such as drunk drivers and child molesters. As of now there is no limit on how long a prisoner can be on death row. There are people that have been on it for 20+ years. This bill will apply to those who commit serious crimes, such as murder.

I believe people should vote for this bill because it will keep our streets safer. It will stop the overcrowding of prisons which will stop other criminals from being let out before they should. Also it will stop people from paying taxes to keep these people alive, most of whom will never contribute to society again.

 * Issue #1-** One issue I feel is needed to be looked at is the violence in our schools. Violoence in schools has increased majorly in the past fifteen years. Suicide by teens is seen a lot more in recent times. It is the leading death in African-Americans from 15 to 24. National data suggests that middle and highschools are more at risk for serious violence. Also students that are in schools that serve more minority children are most at risk than students in suburban areas. Violence in lower SES urban schools cannot and should not be forgotten.
 * Issue #2-** Another issue that needs to be investigated more is the government spending. The government is spending more money than they are taking in. The are sending money to reasearches in colleges that is not needed. For example they sent $365,000 dollars to The University of Kentucky for reasearch on whether or not cocaine affects the sex drive of quails. They are also sending money to foreign countries when we are 15 trillion dollars in debt. They sent $18 million to China for foreign aid. They also sent 3 billion dollars to buy a new engine for a jet, which they later decided that the engines were not necessary.
 * Issue #3-** Lastly, I feel there are too many new laws being passed that violate our rights as citizens. The government is passing laws that are offending and upsetting the people of the U.S. Just recently a law was passed in one of our states that says that any authority can question a suspicious looking person. They are passing these laws with no regard for what the citizens want and need. These laws are hurting the government because they are making the citizens unhappy. Many of these laws appear to be unconstituional and are not fair. More careful consideration should be given before introducing regulations on a broader scale.
