 * I chose G.K Butterfield as my congressman because I agree with his views on most issues. We both want the economy to improve unemployment. G.K Butterfield also wants to promote technology, healthcare and education all over America. He also voted against the effort to protect social safety sites. He is also making sure that American education rate is improving. Also he agrees with Barrack Obama on many issues and I do as well.He is also working to make inner-city school environments more friendly which is very important because it will help many more underprivileged kids get a better education.

 * For 2012 I think the president of the United States should be Barack Obama. I am most like him and we agreed on many topics. He has put in place the No Child Left Behind act by trying to encourage students to stay in school and get a better education which is helping Americas future as a whole. He has also invested a lot more money into scholarships for the less fortunate who can not afford college. We also agreed on many of the questions on the candidate comparison sheet.


 * Mock Congress bill: HB70
 * Purpose: ** Our bill is to double the security and supplies on the United States border. The goal of our bill is to increase security on the border so less people will try to cross the border illegally. This could make our country clean of illegal Aliens. We hope to accomplish that there are no illegal’s in America. This issue is important because almost 20% of America’s crime is from illegal immigrants. Also over 30% of jobs in America are taken by illegal’s and passing this bill will give all of those jobs to Americans. This issue disserves your time because it could keep your streets clean. It is also important because it will give more jobs to Americans. This bill will make the border more protective and will keep us safe from unwanted crime. This bill could clean our streets and keep crime down in the United States so this is very important and it deserves your time.

You should pass this bill because it will lower crime rates in the U.S. and keep unwanted substances like illegal drugs out of America. It will also keep American jobs in American hands.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">1.Philadelphia, very educational but also probably the most interesting city to visit. The history of the city goes back to 1682 ====== <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 2. G ettysburg is a popular place to visit in Pennsylvania. The most important battles of the US Civil War happened here <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 3. The Pocono Mountains cover a 2,400-square-mile of the northeastern portion of Pennsylvania <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> 4.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"> <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Problems of our nation <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">1. Violence in Schools- In the last decade 284 kids were murdered due to school violence – these were shootings, stabbings, fighting and suicides. i feel we have to make all schools have a no bullying policy so if someone is seen being bullied the bully will face huge punishments. Maybe the bully will be expelled if caught on multiple accations

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">2. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Obesity- <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Recent numbers show that 20% of American children are obese <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">- TV, computers and fast food are somewhat to blame. I think that kids should have to stay after school one hour everyday and do different workouts to get in shape instead of going home and eating and doing nothing

==== 3. Poverty- <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">21% of all kids are considered in poverty. A family of four you would need to have a salary of $45,000 to cover basic needs. 50% of children in poverty are in the united states. I think we must find a way to fund all families and make sure they are spending the money on their children because if we can make this happen no children will have to look and wonder where their next meal will come from agian. ====
