Name: Amanda Shimandle State: Tennessee Political Party: Green or libertarian

Hi, my name is Amanda Shimandle. I am the senator of Tennessee, home of country music, mini put-put, mountain dew, and nuclear bombs; I am part of the Libertarian and Green party which means i believe in cutting the taxes and amount of money the government spends, also trying as hard as I can to get the percent of unemployment down, and making the USA more environmentally friendly.

I agree with **Phil Roe**. He believes everyone should have to learn CPR to improve safety everywhere. He also thinks that forcing health care upon the people is unconstitutional. I agree with many bills he has sponsored. for example he wants to start an organization to prevent the unnecessary firing of all employees everywhere. The amount of unemployment in the US is too high.

1. We host the largest fair in the US. Over 11million people came last year. 2. We're the last state to let women vote 3. We created Mountain Dew 4. Home of country music 5. The first nuclear bomb blew up a desert in Tennessee

If I were eighteen, I would vote for Ron Paul. He is for gay rights and appeals to the younger population, which is smart on his part because he is appealing to the future. He speaks simply, ao all can understand what he is saying. He knows what he is saying and doesn't contradict himself a gazillion times. He doesn't always talk about the bible and God, so he will separate his religion from his decisions.

Our bill supports the idea of eliminating and spreading awareness of discrimination of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and gender in the work place. Our bill will create jobs, decrease work related suicides, and cause a greater variety. http://mockcongress2012.wikispaces.com/SB18


 * My Issues**


 * 1. Gay rights.** I feel that the gay/lesbian community should have equal rights as straight people. I think that having a Kardashian 48 day marriage (or any marriage that only last a couple of months) is legal and that a gay marriage that could last 48 years isn't is the dumbest thing in the world. If they are in love they should be able to get married. whether it's man and women, women and women, or man and man, we are all still humans and deserve the same rights.


 * 2. Education.** I think education is one of the largest problem in todays society. If people are more concerned over Beyonce's new baby than the unemployment issues, There is a big problem. Many peolpe can't get jobs because they are uneducated.


 * 3. Abortion.** I think it should be the parents' choice whether or not they want the baby. If you think abortions are wrong, that's okay just don't stop people who want them from getting them. I believe in the personal choice of people. If you want one get one, if you don't then don't. Besides, even if abortions become illegal, they will still happen, but unsanitary and unsafely.
