Name:Matt French State: South Carolina Political Party Affiliation or Ideology: Moderate Republican

Hi, my name is Matt French. I am in the House of Representatives. Im repersenting South Carolina. One of the biggest issues I think in America today is the lack of jobs. I am all for making new job opportunities.

Another big issue is the National Debt. I personally think this is the worst issue because the country can not affored to pay for important things like the military, the creating of jobs, and much more.

Jim DeMint Party-Republican

Jim DeMint has the right views on all of the issues and gets them solved quick.

I think Romney would make the best president. I think this because he has already done great things for the goverment. His speaches and ads on t.v are also very well thought out.

We chose to do our Bill on National Security because it is a very important factor in our every day lives. Also, for every person that slips across our Border illegally, they are taking away American jobs from Americans. Also, some smuggle drugs across the Border. In Mexico, most profit is made off of drug sales. If we can stop them before they cross our Border and make the sale, they will lose money and be dicouraged to cross again. Another factor in this is safety. When illegal immigrants cross our Border, they usually end up in neiborhoods close to the Border. If they try to break into your house, there will be some trouble. With increased security this will not happen.

I think the three biggest Mock Congress issues are, Economy, Immigration, and Environment and Energy.

The economy has not been its greatest in the last couple of years. It is starting to turn around but slowley.We should build and buy more of our own goods. This will create more American jobs. Immigration has been at a very high rate in the last few years. Most do itillegally though. Mostly from Mexico. We need to increase our security so immigrants are not just flooding in. The environment and energy has been changing at a high rate these last couple of years. We have introduced new ways of making energy. Some helping the environment, some destroying it. We need to find a good source of energy and stick with it that benifits the environment instead of destroying it.
