Chris Gibson because we agree on many issues. For example, he believes that troops should have everything they need and deserve. He is a former war veteran and believes that troops are very important to our nation, and they should be treated as such. Also, both I and the representative believe the growth of the economy is very important. For the economy to grow, we need to create jobs because citizens will not make money without jobs. Last, both I and Chris Gibson are Republicans. These are the reasons I am similar to Representative Gibson. []

The most important issues in America are the economy, terrorism, and the war in the Middle East. The economy is in a very poor state; we are in a huge amount of debt. Our economy relies a lot on trading with other countries and we have to pay them back. However, we are not able to pay them back because we do not have the money to pay them, so they are not shipping their goods to us. I believe if President Obama is re-elected, that the economy will continue to worsen. Right now, it is obvious that we need a change in President, or else we will never be the country we once were. Another reason our economy is so poor is because we are not able to produce what we once were able to. This causes us to import more than we export, which leads to debt. This is why the economy is a key issue in America. Terrorism is another key issue in America. Al Qaeda is our target who were in charge of 9/11 and other attempted attacks. We have been successful in killing Usama Bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki, but their are still many terrorists left that we need to worry about. In the last ten years, terrorist attacks and plots have increased significantly. I believe the longer we stay in the Middle East, the more vulnerable we are to another major terrorist attack. The military has to figure out a way to kill these terrorists before another attack takes place. [] The war in the Middle East is a key issue in America because many of our citizens are being killed in war. Also, the longer we fight with Iran, the more likely it is they shut our oil trade routes down. We cannot produce oil abundantly in the United States. Our main source of oil comes from the Middle Eastern countries. I understand that the civilians in those countries are being killed, but so are our soldiers. The Military has to figure out a way to neutralize these terrorist targets quickly. []

[] My endorsement for President of the United States of America goes to Mitt Romney. I agree with many issues of his including national defense, national spending, and taxes. His view on national defense is to try to get as much faith as possible into the soldiers today that they will win,and will come home someday. He also plans to increase the Navy's shipbuilding rate; something I highly agree with because we need a strong Navy to win this war. All of our fighting is overseas, therefore we need more ships to be built. Mitt wants to create a national ballistic-missile defense system to prevent nuclear missile stikes in America. Last, Romney wants to be sure the military is suited with the best equipment possible while maintaining a positive budget. Mitt Romney's view on national spending is to try to decrease spening eventually leading to a smaller national debt. President Obama has gotten us in so much debt that Romney knows it will take time to cut the national debt. I believe that Romney will gradually cut the national debt untill we are once again, a strong nation. This is becase he knows to set reasonable goals each year. I highly agree with Mitt Romney on spending. Mitt Romney's view on taxes is to bring down the marginal rates. This will allow us to stimulate entrepeneurship, job creation, and investment, while still raising the money needed for a smaller simpler, government. He believes that taxes should be fair for everyone. With corporate rates, we are among the highest in the world. This hurts United States wages highly. Mitt Romney is defianatley the best candidate for president.

Purpose: The goals of the bill are to decrease the number of troops, and to cut military spending. This bill could help get our country out of debt with China and other countries. It could also help us decrease the number of fatalities in our military. Over seven hundred soldiers die per year; if we could decrease this number, it would have a large impact on our security. We are going to get some of our troops back home, cut military spending, and make our military smaller. The men who are decommissioned will get special perks from businesses to help them get a job, and get back to real life, when they return home. Each year, we will decrease the military by 5,000 troops, so there will be job openings for the ones that return home. These are the goals of our proposed bill. You should vote for my bill because it could easily change America in many ways. It could help cut the national debt as well as decreasing the number of American deaths. Voting for this bill cannot backfire because it is not a very risky bill. If this bill does not pass, our country will never be as strong as it once was.
