State: Arizona

Political Party: Moderate

Representative Most alike: Raul Grijalva Party: Democrat Current issues: Border Ports of Entry, Agricultural Labor Reform, Education, and Enviornment

I chose this person for many reasons. One, I feel that his views and mine are more alike than the other congressmen. He has a lot of issues he is working on and I like people who get involved in stuff and don't just sit around. His political party is also democratic and my views are more democratic than Republican. Raul Grijalva is involved a lot with education and I feel education is one of the most important topics in the country becuase these are the citizens of the future and if they're not educated who knows what the country will be like in the future. He also big in border patrol and this is very important because Arizona is a border state. The border Patrol is very important becuase they keep the Mexicans away from stealing all our jobs which hurts the economy.

Endorsement: My endorsement for president would have to be Barack Obama. We took the political test to see who were most alike and I agreed with most of what Obama agrees with. I agree a lot with what Obama has done with the country and I think that the country's economy is steadily improving. I also agree with Obama Care and I think that he did a good job capturing Bin Laden and I thank him for ending the war in Iraq. I think that Obama has done a good job with the country and I think that he should get re-elected. I think that Obama is a better candidate than Romney is. I disagree with a lot of Romney's beliefs, so that's why I am mostly supporting Obama.

H.B. 69 More Doe so to ourselves from our Foe
The goal of our bill is to insure the safety of our country and our troops by improving our nation’s weaponry and sending less troops behind the front line. This bill will significantly reduce the amount of deaths in our armed forces and improve our weaponry and technology in our military. We hope to put money into military research to improve our weaponry. This in effect, will strengthen our national defense and put fewer troops in danger. Safety in our country is the most important thing there is. This will definitely keep our country safe from either terrorists or other nations themselves. We plan to put our research into improving our computers, Harrier Jump Jets, rail guns, and other weapons. We will at first increase our military budget by raising the taxes. We will put the money into research and, in time we will have the strongest military in the world.

People should vote for our bill for many reasons. The main reason is right now the U.S. spends more money on our military than any other country in the world and yet our weaponry is not nearly as advanced as it should be. We are also getting beaten in Afghanistan when the war should really be over. If this bill passes our weaponry will be significantly better, and we won't have to send nearly as many people out in the field. This bill is honestly really cheap, and federal taxes will be rasied half a percent. This bill really has very few negatives and it will play out in the long run, so pass this bill.

Issues: An issue that I think is the most important is illegal immigration. Many people in the U.S. are not legal citizens and are taking advantage of our country. They are taking jobs away from actual U.S. citizens which is hurting the economy. This means more U.S. citizens are unemployed. The border patrol needs to improve. I realize that they can't stop every illegal person from coming into our state, but I think that they should at least be able to get the majority of them. Illegal immigration to me is the most important because they are on of the reasons that is hurting the country.

Another issue that I think is important is gun control. Should people be able to own guns? It depends on what you think about it, but I think that Americans shouldn't be able to have guns. I know the second amendment is the right to bear arms, but I think America would be a lot safer if only military, government, and police personel were the only ones to have guns. First of all, a lot of the guns out there today aren't registeres. Second, a lot of people who own guns don't use them in the proper manner. And third, guns are dangerous and can go off at anytime, even if it's not meant to go off. That's just my opinion but you may think otherwise.

Another issue that I think is important is the price of gasoline. The price of gasoline is outrageous and different at every gas station. The price of gas is so high because of the price of oil. The ironic thing about oil is everyone thinks oil is so high because of the middle east when technicully very little oil is imported form the Middle East. Most of the oil is imported from Canada. The price of gasoline would go down if we drilled oil in Alaska, which we could easily do. The problem is the government is too afraid to drill in the oil reserves in Alaska, which is really sad since oil is very abundant in Alaska. Hopefully, if the government makes good decisions the gas price will go down and make everyone happier.
