I am endorsing President Obama for the 2012 presidential election. He has done a lot of good things in office and should continue tohelp. Obama is working hard to put Americans back into work. He also set higher standards for education. He has made education a national priority. He has also cut many taxes. One of the first things he did in office was cut taxes for ninety-five percent of working families.

My Congress Bill is HB23. Education of Foreign Culture The purpose of this bill is to educate troops that are being deployed over seas. Facilities and dormitories will be built where the soldiers will learn for a short period of time. It is necessary for these troops to be educated about the culture in the country they are going to because the U.S. needs to be more careful towards other countries. We need to keep our relations strong. People crossing over seas are respresenting the United States, and it is important that they do not raise conflict. One example of something that can be prevented with my bill is the burning of Korans.

Issues
 * I think that the most important issue is our economy. We should manufacture and buy more of our own goods. This will create more American jobs.
 * We should also focus on the environment. Pollution and waste are only part of the cause. We need to remember to be environmentally friendly. How each person treats the environment affects everyone else in the world, and it will all build up. So much of the world depends on nonrenewable resources. It is very important that we start to use more of the renewable resources and stop polluting. Someday we will not have those resources and we need to prepare for that day.
 * Another issue that is important to me is education. Education is important because the children today are the country's future. They need to have high standards and meet them.
