Craig Conley My state is Colorado. I am a moderate I have some good views froom both the demorcratic and republican.

Some of the issues in America that are most important to me today is the amount of people in America that dont have a job. This is a big issue for me because it is kind of confusin gon what the country should do. On one hand the lack of people with jobs is hurting the economy becasue the more money people make and the more people making money, the less money the economy has and can keep. However, the lack of jobs is also helping some people because I think that if more people get jobs then the government will raise taxes and then that will hurt the people in our country. So right now im not really sure what I would do. Whether to keep my country happy or grow my economy, so thats why I think that the lack of jobs is such a big issue. I also think that the amoount of people dropping out of school before they get their high school diploma is affecting the lack of jobs, which is affecting the economy. So I think if we can keep the kids from dropping out early then our economy would be better, and the education of americans overall will be better.

The representitive that i agree with is Cory Gardner. He is a democrat and I am more moderate, but he also says that the state of Colorado needs to aquire people with more jobs. He also says that if one state leads the U.S and gets the people more jobs, then all of the United States will start to get the people of the United States more jobs.
