__//**Massachusetts **//__

My name is Hannah Jones and I am a moderate conservative.

Also, the Representative from Massachusetts that I am most like would be Senator Scott Brown for many reasons. One reason is that he is a republican, and that he is the only republican in office in Massachusetts. A key issue that I agree with him is that he has some of the same strategies that Mitt Romney has to help find more jobs in America. Senator Brown has to keep his ground being the only republican in Massachusetts in office, and that means having leadership qualities. He also who represents every republican in Massachusetts, so I give him credit. These are some reasons why I am in agreement with Senator Scott Brown.

I think that I could be represented by many Representatives today, but there is one that sticks out for me most. I am most like Mitt Romney for many reasons. Mitt Romney is a Republican. For starters, He is involved in trying to make more jobs for people across America today. I am like this because i don't think it is fair to not have a job, and suffer from it. He has a plan called Day One, Job One that lists of many things. It states that on his first day of office he is going to send a "Career Package" to Congress that states many things. He has the overall package America needs in a president, therefore, I am in support of Mitt Romney.These are the two representatives who I think I am most alike.

Bullets and Grease Don't Mix ~ HB49

 Our bill is about not allowing people to have guns in their cars. Since guns have been allowed in cars, the crime rate has gone up. People have been killing and/or threatening Police Officers when they get pulled over. There have also been issues where people go on rages, and kill innocent people. It will also help to keep people from getting arrested and having a loaded gun in their car. Therefore keeping guns out of people’s car will keep people and their community’s safer.

Reasons to vote for our bill: You should vote for our bill because we are in favor for people's safety. We are also trying to put police officers in safer working environments because if an officer pulls someone over, they are walking into a situation blind. Part of the reason we need this bill to pass is how would you feel if you knew someone had a gun in their car, and could easily pull it out and use it against you? These are some reasons why people should vote for our bill.

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%;">In America, they're a few things that have been concerning me lately with key issues in America.One of the issues that has people looking into is the public schools in America. There has been studies shown that in most public schools in a city <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">environment <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%;">, kids are more likely to drop out. To some families, it may be cheaper and <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">beneficial <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%;"> to them if they had their kids drop out of school and working instead to pay for the bills that need to be paid. It has been proven, that most kids who drop out of school early tend to get into more crime and in trouble with the law. Then those kids get put in jail when they should be in school. It costs more for tax payers to pay for someone who is in jail for ten years, then it does to pay for a child's education for twelve years. Tax payers have to pay for food, shelter, and any needs to people who are in jail. Some people <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">purposely <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%;">get in trouble so that they can go to jail so they can live a "better" life. That is why providing a good education system for children is an important in America's success. If kids can stay in school and go to college, then in theory there will be less crimes and less money tax payers have to pay to the <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;">government <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 90%;">. Does this mean that this plan will work? No, but it may be the difference in America's society.

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"> Another issue that is concerning to everyone is Gun Control. The Bill of Rights clearly does say that we can own guns, and use them to our own free will. But the Bill of Rights does not mean we are entitled to own guns. This is not the case. However, this is more like the rights of what the government is forbidden to do. People can get confused thinking that they have the right to own guns, but it isn't that simple. The Bill of Rights says that all regulated militia and may have the right to carry and transport weapons. Many people do not know that any man who is eighteen and has signed the drafting papers is part of that "regulated militia". The government has kept this small detail out because many people misuse the right to own guns. This is proven by crimes, wars, or even accidents. That is also why owning a gun is in the Bill of Rights because we are not entitled to it, and if misused, it can be taken away. If it was just removed from the Bill of Rights, then it might create more conflicts in the media and so on. I believe that people should have the right to own guns and use them only in self defense. People in Arizona normally have guns because of all the immigrants crossing the border. This is why gun control is a main issue in America right now.

<span style="color: #008080; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px;"> Lastly, another key issue in America is whether or not the death penalty should still be allowed to be in the United States. Just recently, Troy Davis was executed for the murder of a police officer in Georgia, 1989. Many people do not know if it was right for Davis to be executed after over twenty years in jail because they should have made that decision about fifteen years or so ago. Most people believe that it is "arbitrary, discriminatory and comes to an enormous cost to tax payers, and must be ended." That is only one side of the story though. Some people who got the receiving end of the crime might want this person dead due to their crime. This however is bias, and unfair judging whether or not a person should be put to death. I believe that the death penalty should be here because some people who committed a crime so bad should be penalized. After all, someone only lives once so why would you waste your life like that?
