State Capital: Jefferson City

Political Party: Moderate Conservative

The Representative That I Share Issues and Beliefs With: is Todd Akin. I share many of my person beliefs with Todd. We had many of the same political views on almost all of the issues. For example we both agreed that the government should lower tax rates. Also, we agreed that the government should try to create as many jobs as possible, this would help the economy tremendously. Those are just some of the many issues that Todd and I agreed on.

President 2012: I have mixed thoughts on who should be the new president. I think that President Obama is doing a decent job, but he could do better. He has not improved the economy in the four years that he has been in office. President Obama has only made the economy worse than it already was. He is trying to fix the economy, but he is not succeeding. He has created many more jobs but that is not enough, there are still millions of people who are out of work. On top of that he is giving the people who are out of work tax payer money to use. I agree with the welfare system but only to a certain degree, people we were just recently let go should get a couple months pay. I don't think is is right to pay for someones every need for more than a year. But thats exactly whats happening, people are taking advantage of this and not even trying to get a job. If the government keeps using taxpayer money to help these people they will never need to get a job. Thats what I think President Obama is doing wrong. I think that this needs to change completely, this is why I think Mitt Romney should be president. Not only Mitt Romney but someone that is not a democrat. That is who I think should be president.

3 Interesting Issues:

=

 * Employment**- There are many different types of employment issues currently happening in Missouri. One issue is unemployment, unemployment rates are at their highest in years. Just a few years ago only 4% of the population was unemployed, today these rates have doubled and almost 9% of the population is unemployed. This is causing the national economy to be horrible and an increase in crimes. These are just a few of the problems that unemployment can cause. Another major problem with employment is youth employment, this can be good and bad though. For example it is good not to have small kids working on machinery or doing anything dangerous, But it is bad for the families who are struggling to get by. If their son/daughter could get a job that would help them tremendously with paying the bills. But the laws do not allow this, that is why this is a major issue. This is all why employment is a major issue in the state of Missouri.======


 * Recycling-** Recycling is another major issue within the state of Missouri. You can recycle so many things, but yet very few people recycle. People do not realize how big of an affect recycling can have. Did you know that you can even recycle crayons and motor oil. There are hundreds of things you can recycle but you throw into the garbage. Recycling has many benefits and only a few disadvantages. One advantage is that it keeps precious materials out of landfills, some items that are put into a landfill take millions of years to decompose. This is extremely dangerous to the environment. Another advantage is it helps save the future. Since we do not have to keep digging for supplies there will be more for future generations. There is no big disadvantages of recycling.


 * Energy-** There are many different types of energy. There are renewable and nonrenewable, solar and wind, there are just so many types. But we wont be using all the types for long. All of the nonrenewable resources will soon be gone. We will have used them so much that there will be no more left. That is why we must start using renewable types of energy, types of energy that we constantly have and will never run out of. For example sunlight, we will always have sunlight. This is why scientists have found ways to turn the suns energy in power. We cannot keep on using nonrenewable types of resources. If we run out they are gone forever, there is no way of getting them back. This is why we must start using different types of energy.

Mock Congress Bill- SS53

My bill was created to stop illegal immigration in the United States of America. There is too many illegal immigrants coming to America and selling drugs or causing crime. If you vote for my bill there will be less immigration which means less drugs and less crime. The borders will will be tighter and less illegal immigrants, this will open up more jobs as well. Also, this will stop many drugs from entering America. This will put a stop to all the deadly drug cartels in the south. Those are just some of the reasons to vote for my bill.
