// STATE: Oklahoma //

// PARAGRAPH: The most important issue is the slump that the U.S. economy is now in. It seems the market is getting worse as time goes on instead of recovering as hoped. I feel that at least until we get our economy better we should not be giving other money to other countries to help with their problems when we have our own issues to deal with. We have too many of our own people who are unemployed and finding it hard to make ends meet. //

//John Sullivan// //Party-He is a republican// //I like him and his issues because a lot of his issues deal with peoples' lives and their problems such as social security, education, healthcare and veterans affairs. I am most like Republican John Sullivan because I care about the same issues and would like to be able to help the common people. If I was a Congressman I would want to deal with the same issues that they have in Oklahoma, because they are important to all Americans and we need to improve our own economy giving everyone education and healthcare opportunities .The issues he deals with are big problems in the world today and until we can all get on the same page, we cannot turn this economy around.//

//link to our bill: //HB2////

//We chose to do our Bill on National Security because it is a very important factor in our every day lives. Also, for every person that slips across our Boarder illegally, they are taking American jobs when the Americans need them the most. Also, some try to bring drugs and violence across the border. If we don't let them them cross our Boarder and make the sale, they will lose money and be dicouraged to cross again. Another factor in this is safety. When illegal immigrants cross our Boarder, they usually end up in neiborhoods close to the Boarder. If they try to break into your house, there will be some trouble. With increased security this will not happen. Our bill is to protect Americas jobs and keep the immigrants drugs and violence out of america.//
