Garret+Aini

**Name-** Garret Aini

**State-** Colorado

**Political Party**- Moderate - Believe in the Democratic Party and the Republican Party

**The Representatives I share beliefs with**- One senator from Colorado is Senator Michael Bennet. Senortor Michael is a democrat, and I'm alright with that because I am moderate. In his website he talks about how he feels about the unemployment rates. He states what he wants to work toward in the future, and how he thinks that he can fix this. I believe that he has some good ideas, and it's nice that he has things that he wants to work towards. He also made me look at something that I have not noticed before. He is talking about the education that is provided. There are many 8th graders that cannot read at the level that they need to be. And finally, there are 1.2 million children that drop out of school every year. I knew that there was a issue with that, but I did not know that this issue is that big.

**My Endorsement for President in 2012- Mitt Romney** I endorse Mitt Romney because we believe in many of the same things. He believes that we need major cuts in spending. I believe this too because we have dug ourselves into a deep hole and now we need to work to get out of it. Also, Mitt Romney believes that we should cut some money in taxes. He also wants to find more jobs for the people. I think that this is very important because if we do not have many jobs, then how do you think people can pay taxes? And if they can't pay their taxes, then the state will suffer.

**My Mock Congress Bill- A Jump Start to America's Education** The United States has just been currently ranked 14th out of the World in education for 2011. Our goal is to improve America’s education, and get America back on top. This could be beneficial to our country because, our technology compared to other countries is not as advanced. To do this we will start American children’s education earlier, by making preschool mandatory. This will give America a one year lead on education on other countries. Therefore, making preschool mandatory it will make other grades’ curriculum be a step ahead of what it is now. You should vote for my Bill because, it will help American's get a better education. It will also help improve our economy (theoretically) because, if we have harder curriculum then more jobs could potentially be created. New inventions would be made and jobs would have to fill them, and brighter people to help lead our country into a much better state.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**3 Key Issues-**
 * 1) <span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Economy-** Our economy is in a huge economic downfall, and now we need to start working on the future, and figure out what we need to do. I belive that the goverment needs to start more exports and less imports, and we can't just sit down and do nothing, it all falls on Congress. We need to take action, and try to create more jobs for us, which will then create a better America.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Energy-** Our current state for America's energy needs to be changed. We need to find better resources to use and to produce energy, and put more funds into finding better resources then just fossil fuels. Renewable resources need to be looked into further, and need to be worked on so then they will meet Americas large demands for energy.
 * 3) **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Gay Rights<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">-  **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">My opinion of gay rights is that there is nothing wrong with what people want to do. Americans stereo type gays, and face a lot of discrimination from famous people, and even their family. For example Miss. America, was asked the question if she wanted the Gay Right Movement to pass in California, and she said, "No." What is the issue with average American's doing what they want. They don't hurt anyone, and why is it you problem to get all frustrated about it. This is supposed to be America were it is okay to express your own opinion, and do what you want to do. So why can't they do that?
