__State__: Georgia

__Political Party Affiliation/ Ideology:__ Conservative Republican.

__Representatives I Am Most Like:__
 * Sandy Adams- I am most like Congress woman Sandy Adams because we agree on many issues. We oppose both, marriage penalty and Federal Tax Increases. She also wants to adopt a single-rate tax system. She voted yes on terminating the Home Affordable Mortgage Program, she opposes restrictions on the right to bear arms, and I agree so far with all of the things that she has voted on and her opinions on the issues. My favorite issue that she voted yes on is to repeal any federal health care take over. Also, she is a conservative republican just like me! That is why I chose Sandy Adams as my congress woman.

__2012 President__ I would endorse Mitt Romney for president because he is a Republican and he has a history of "turning things around". By saying that, it means that he is going to help turn around our struggling economy and dive into deep work, creating jobs for many more Americans. Also, he is the only Republican running that has Executive experience. Formerly being a Governor of Massachusetts, he has had to do many similar duties as a president would have had to do. He is fiscally conservative. Another reason is that he is pro-life meaning, no abortion for Romney! That is why I would endorse Mitt Romney.

__3 Key Issues of Interest:__
 * 1) One issue that I am so very interested in is //Child// Abuse. This topic is rather controversial, but with my opinion that everyone should be treated as the deserving individual they are, I like to dig deep into this issue. In America, it is said that child abuse is and has been increasing over the past few years. 3.5 million children are abused every year in America and every day 6 children lose a life from this immoral cause...more than 3 of the children haven't lived past age 4. Of all child abuse, 70% is sexual harrasment, done by family members and 30% of them go through a teenage pregnancy. On this issue, my position is that we need stricter boundries surrounding this issue so as that we can try to decrease the amount of children who are abused. Punishments should be harsher, and more people should be on the move to catch the commiters of this crime.
 * 2) Another issue in America today is things concerning //Animal Rights.// One of those things is //Cloning.// The success rate in cloning is very low, and that affects the developement into adulthood for many animals. We hear about many experiences where cloning takes place and is a success, but for everytime we hear about a success, we forget to think about how many times it took to get there and how many animals lives are affected in which they have no say in. In 1,000 tries, there are 970-999 faliures to consider. Also, successful clones also have problems, they can develope something called //Large Off Spring Syndrome,// and with that it can lead to breathing and blood-flow issues. There are tons and tons of other problems that come from the few successful clones out of all the ones that have falied and it isn't good. Where I stand on this issue, I think that we need to reserve more rights for the animals so that we aren't still affecting generation after generation of animals that don't have a say.
 * 3) One last issue that caught my eye as I was browsing ABC-CLIO was //Adoption//. People have had many controversial opinions on this issue. For example, 42% of unwed teenage mom's said that it's best for a child to be put up for adoption and 36% say that the mother should be raising the child and 18% say that it depends on circumstances. People's opinions then changed when being asked what was best for the mother in an adoption situation. 39% of people sway towards the mother raising it, 37% say adoption is best. People who adopt today are either infertile, have birth children but want more, want to help the children, single parents, or same-sex parents. But the majority of adoption today is made of step parents or relatives of the child up for adoption. In many states/countries, people who are in a same-sex relationship aren't allowed to adopt and only one person from the marriage can adopt. Then they came up with a way for the other parent to take part in the child and it is through applying for "second parent" or "co-parent". I don't support gay marriage, but I think that those couples should be allowed to adopt because they would be happy and they would be helping out the unfortunate children in our country or other countries.

Link to my bill: HB67- MUNCHES ON UNHEALTHY SCHOOL LUNCHES

 People should vote for my bill because, by making school lunches healthier, we are making a large impact on our current and future generations. Voting for my bill will make sure that all children are living a healthier, longer and more enjoyable life.

 The purpose of our bill is to make school lunches healthier. Currently most of the food that school cafeterias are serving is unhealthy because it’s the cheaper way to go. If this bill is passed it could make our current generation live a healthier life style because they would learn to make healthy food choices. The latest statistics show that one out of every three students that eat cafeteria lunches regularly are obese or overweight. What we hope to accomplish is to supply school lunches with fresher and healthier food choices. This is a very important issue that every community faces because more and more students are growing up unhealthy which affects their future. The first step that we need to take to accomplish this task is to find a budget that allows schools to buy healthier food choices. Also, we will find places to supply the schools lunches at a reasonable price. Basically without healthy food choices for students our current generation and generations to come could be overweight.
