ASubbotin


 * Name/State:** I am Lexi Subbotin, Senator of Minnesota.
 * Political Party:** I am of the Green political party.
 * Congress Person I agree with most:** I agree most with Congresswoman [| Lynn Woolsey] of California. She is fighting for many of the same issues that I am. She believes in equality, animal rights, a different fuel source, and the economy.
 * Endorsement for President:** For the 2012 presidential election, I am endorsing President Obama. He's a democrat, and frankly I don't believe in much of what the other republican candidates say. I believe that the republican candidates are restricting America far too much. It seems that Catholicism is being promoted far too much in the Republican debates. This is America. We have different religions. We are a free nation, we should have more choices. Obama isn't restricting our rights as Americans.


 * Link to my bill**


 * Explanation:** This bill is supporting all religions, nationalities, sexual orientations, genders, or ethnicity in the workplace. Some businesses will only hire a straight, Caucasian male. This needs to stop. If there is someone who fits the needs of the job, they should get it, even if they are of a different race. This bill will prevent any discrimination in the workplace. Our bill will create equal opportunities for all Americans.

 * Important Issues:**


 * 1)** Many people don't have the proper health care plans. This means that all of the expenses for health care must be paid by the people themselves. Because of this, some people cannot afford to go to the doctor, pay for medicine, or get the treatment they need. Healthcare needs to be made affordable and available to everyone.


 * 2)** People who make more money should pay more taxes. The rich should not be taxed the same amount as the poor. People who have lots of money and don't get taxed enough keep making more money. The people who aren't as fortunate are in so much debt because they can't afford to pay their taxes.

__All__. This means the gay ones too. Gay people get beat up, taunted, and even killed. America is the home of the free? Well then why can't some people get married to the person they love? I don't want to pay taxes to a country that discriminates like that.
 * 3)** In most of America, couples of the same sex cannot get married. I believe that it's wrong to not allow two people to get married. "All men are created equal"
