The most important issues to me is bullying. I think this is a very important issue because sometimes it gets to the point where kids commit suicide because it gets so bad. President Obama is trying to put a stop to this and thinks parents should pay more attention to it because of suicide.

Five interesting facts about Florida: 1.) Florida has a higher population of elderly citizens than any other state. 2.) Florida's economy was initially based on lumber and agriculture. 3.) Tourism continues to be the mainstay of Florida's economy. 4.) Florida's state government operates under a 1968 Constitiution. 5.) Florida celebrates it's multifaceted heritage by having numerous historical sites in the state.

Five reasons to visit Florida: 1.) In Florida, there is a Disney World park. 2.) In Florida, there are the famous Florida Everglades. 3.) Hikers can enjoy a week long walk around Lake Okeechobee. 4.) People can visit the national park in Canaveral National Seashore. 5.) Florida has many beaches to swim in, and do other water activities in.

The first important issue to me is poverty and children not being able to afford school. If kids cannot afford school, they wont get an education to start their lives later in life to get a job, and survive on their own without their parents. Poverty is also important because people can become homeless and not have a job or money to get back on their feet and start over. People who are homeless can also impact other peoples lives because they can affect their family because they are constantly asking for help, and family members can get sick of it.

The second issue that is important to me is still bullying. I think bullying is important in and out of schools because children can kill themselves because it gets to the point where they think there is no other way to escape the harrassment. This can also lead to problems with grades at school or issues at home because when kids get bullied, their whole world gets torn apart. Lastly, when kids get bullied, they loose their interests in things, and can lead to being depressed. Kids getting bullied also leads to problems for parents and their home life.

The last important issue in our government to me is the time that school starts. In my opinion, I think school starts much too early and that can affect how the kids do in school because they can fall asleep during school, and can be too tired to function properly to complete tasks in school. Which later leads to kids not doing well in school and letting their grades slip. When kids have to wake up at five in the morning, it can be hard for the kids parents to give rides to their kids at six thirty in the morning. This is a very important issue.

Endorsement for President: If I could vote for this years Presidential election, I wold vote for Mitt Romney. I would vote for Mitt Romney because personally, I would be a republican, although that is not the only reason why I would vote for him. I would vote for Mitt Romney because it seems like he has a lot of experience and passion for our government. Also because he seems like he could get a lot done to benefit the economy, and several other flaws in our government. I have a strong feeling that Mitt Romney wold fix, or at least help or economy and debt. I think Obama has done nothing to help this, and I certainly think Mitt Romney would be a good fresh start to our government.

My bill: http://mockcongress2012.wikispaces.com/HB9

My bill consists of a guarenteed college plan for students who can't afford it, but are still very intelligent and deserve a chance to go to college. To get the plan to go for free, the student MUST pass the college placement test, and MUST have a high school diploma. Under these curcumstances can any person go to a college. This college works for students as well as adults. The benefit is that students who couldn't go to college because of the cost can now go, no matter how much income they recieve yearly. The amount my partners and I considered low to be was $25,000 a year. We decided that people who mad this amount or less than this are eligible to go to college for free. Students must also pay a monthly bill to go to this college. This cost is around $125. Students must also pay themselves for supplies and housing. Supplies consist of textbooks and computers to help with homework and extended thinking. The total cost for a student on a two year plan is around $10,000. The government must pay for marketing/campaign, and the money for college. The cost for government is around $26,000,000 The people who participate must also be a U.S. citizen. Our bill will also solve the problem of adults who wanted to go to college after high school, but couldn't because they couldn't afford to go. In our bill, adults who still want to go to college can now because the cost is lower. However, they wont break the bank with the high cost of a regular college.
