Nicholas Matt State:Colorado Political Party: Moderate

Representative: Mike Coffman is a Republican and is interested in the issue of National Security, transportation and education. He is like me because I think that the issue on gas prices is too high and that is the reason the economy is going down.

Endorsement for President: Romney because he has the highest pledged delegates as a candidate also because he agrees that guns should be kept legal and used as protection, nothing else.

HB.69 More dough to protect ourselves from our Foe. The goal of our bill is to insure the safety of our country and our troops by improving our nation’s weaponry and sending less troops behind the front line. This bill will significantly reduce the amount of deaths in our armed forces and improve our weaponry and technology in our military. We hope to put money into military research to improve our weaponry. This in effect, will strengthen our national defense and put fewer troops in danger. Safety in our country is the most important thing there is. This will definitely keep our country safe from either terrorists or other nations themselves. We plan to put our research into improving our computers, Harrier Jump Jets, rail guns, and other weapons. We will at first increase our military budget by raising the taxes. We will put the money into research and, in time we will have the strongest military in the world.

Our bill should be passed because it will increse our nations defenses. The U.S. goverenment needs to increse the taxes a little for this bill because it is a bigger cost but the cost of our bill means nothing towards the U.S. safety. If this bill was to be passed Afganistan will have no choice but to back down because itwill not stand a chance against us in the war.

Issue 1: Toxic mining inGrand Canyon: The mining of toxic Uranium in theGrand Canyonand surround areas. I am opposed because theGrand Canyonis one of the natural wonders of the world. Another reason I am opposed is because the mills contaminated the well water in near by towns. The well water is unsafe to drink and residents suffer health consequences from the toxins.

Issue 2: WastingWater Ways: More than 720,000 pounds of toxic chemicals are dumped into the Colorado Rivers. Almost 75,000 miles of rivers and stream may be unprotected by the Clean Water Act. I am opposed because the toxics can kill people, wildlife, and vegetation.

Issue 3: Clean Energy: The use of Solar and Wind power. Currently wind farms provide enough electricity to power 350000 homes each year. I am for it because Solar and wind power are renewable resources, not fossil fuels which will run out soon. In March of 2012,USSenators Udall and Bennet introduced the American Energy and Job Promotion Act, S 2201.
