Gabby+Yonkers

**Name:** Gabby Yonkers

**State:** Texas

**State Capital:** Austin

**Political Party**: Moderate Conservative

**Representative:** I chose Ed Pastor. Ed Pastor is a representative for the 4th district of Arizona. Ed is all about giving back to the community. Before he became a representative he was a teacher at North High school. The issue that we share are are Education and Energy. In Education he believes that it's not only improving the lives the individuals learning, "but to improving the health, security and prosperity of our communities." (Ed Pastor) I agree with ed because education does a lot more for students them just teaching them things. In the issue on Energy he supports the "development of clean and renewable energy technologies."(Ed Pastor) I agree with ed on this also because having clean energy sources could really help with energy needs.

**President in 2012:** My endorsement for president is Obama. My reasons for favoring Obama is that a lot of his opinions on issues are the same as mine. Like we both think that the that the wealthy class should be taxed, because they have more income then they lower classes. He believes in helping the low-preforming schools, so they can be prepared for collage and good jobs in the future, which i strongly agree with. He wants to maintain a strong military and staying true to our values and ideals. Which is another issue that i agree with Obama on. I agree because having a strong military is a good way to keep the people in the United States safe from harm.

**Mock Congress bill link:** @SB34 The purpose of this bill is to promote gun safety within communities. The bill consists of multiple tasks that will ensure the well-being of people from guns. First we must make sure that those who use and own guns are controlled in the proper manor. Secondly, those who want to buy guns must pass an assessment based on their knowledge of guns and their safety. Also a background must be performed before the purchase of a gun is made. Lastly, necessary licenses will need to be shown at the time of a purchase, while carrying and shooting of a gun. These procedures and limitations will promise fortification of people throughout our nation.

People should vote for our bill because it helps with the safety of citizens in communities around the country. It also allows a safe way for people, who want the a gun, to be able to carry guns safely because of the specialized test that we have for those people. We also have made a background test that will performed on every American citizen in the United States who wants to buy a gun. This is the reasons why people should vote for our bill

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3 key Issues: <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">1. One issue that i think is important is **__Abortion__**. I think abortion is very wrong. Everyone should have a chance to live, but i still think that the person carrying the child has the right, to the option, to get an abortion or not to get one. I really do not have an direct answer on this topic. I still think it is not right to let the child miss its chance at life. That everyone one deserves the chance to life. I think that in a situation where the mother cannot care fo r the child then abortion is a good option. I think that why have a child if it's not going to even get the love it really needs in a lifetime. So if you really do not love the child even while you are pregnant then why have it. But do i believe that abortion is right in only these circumstances.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">2. Another important issue is __**Usage of guns and weapons**__. I do not think it should be legal to carry a handgun or any weapon. This would just put others around them in danger. I also believe that it puts the person carry the gun in danger as well. Also i think there should be more protection on how people get these weapons. Maybe by putting a law in that as does a background check on the person buying that weapon. Or a law that says you can only carry a gun if you have a certain license allowing you to carry that weapon.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">3. The last important issue is **__Taxation__**. I believe that the wealthy should be taxed. Like they should have to pay the same amount on taxes that we do. I also believe that they should not be allowed tax breaks. Since they have more money then the middle class and the lower class. In a way i believe some of the wealthy people are just being greedy by saying that they shouldn't be taxed. I also think that taxes should be lowered because if the wealthy paid the regular taxes like the middle and lower class does ,then are taxes would not be as high.
