 * Name:** Jacob Hauptner


 * State**: Illinois


 * Political Party**: Republican Party

The Congress person I stand for is Robert J. Dold. He is an Eagle Scout and graduated from Northwestern University's Kellog School of Management. He also earned a law degree from Indiana University. I agree with him on his position against tax increaes because the average American family gives nearly half of what they earn to taxes. I also agree with Dold as he supported efforts to make school learning more relevant to demands of the 21st century job market. If we don't learn what we need in order to make a decent living, then we will have difficulty succeeding in life. Finally, I agree with Dold's priority of keeping the homeland safe and secure.

My Endorsement for President in 2012 is Mitt Romney because I like his business accomplishments. Mitt Romney is running on the Republican Party ticket against Barrack Obama. He graduated with dual degrees from Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School. Romney was elected Governor of the state of Massachusetts in 2002. Now, I think Mitt Romney will make a great President of the United States. He and I have similiar conservative polictical views and thoughts on issues. He will have a great impact on the United States if he runs it like a business. He will make good financial decisions in the office. That is why I picked Mitt Romney for President in 2012.

HB35
 * __N.P.U.W.D__** __**(No Phone Usage While Driving)**__
 * Mock Congress Bill**: The purpose of //N.P.U.W.D.// is to enforce no phone use while driving. Most car accidents are caused by phone usage, texting, and talking on the phone. Why can’t people stop driving to talk on the phone or text? People need to learn that their life is more important than a text message, and a phone call. It is very had to keep your eyes on the road if you are paying attention to your phone at the time. This is why texting and talking on the phone are terrible to do while driving, and this bill is to help stop the people that do this.

 * Mock Congress Issues**

The issues I stand for are education, drug control, and homeland security.

I like to bring up the issue of education because it affects our lives in many ways. Education affects my current life as a student and the subjects we are learning. Secondly, public education will affect our future and the many new techologies that will be discovered. The more education that the average American gets, the more likely the United States will be able to compete in the Global marketplace. We need education in order to start businesses to employ Americans. Education is the basis for our future strong econcomy. In the future everyone needs a good education.

My second issue is drugs. Drugs are a big problem in our country. In the year 2010, there were about 40,000 arrests just in the United States. The United States makes up 4% of the world'spopulation. But, 65% of the world's population abuses drugs or alcohol. Each and everyday someone does drugs. Now a lot of crimes are related to drug use, driving under the influence, or theft for money to buy drugs. Drugs hurt teen's lives each and every day. People think illegal drug use is just for teenagers but many users are adults as well.

My last and final issue is homeland security. This issue has changed the way the United States functions and operates. Everyday many people get on a plane to travel accross our country or to other countries. On September 11, 2001 everything changed when terrorists hijacked and crashed planes into the World Trade Ceter, the Pentagon, and into a field in Pennsylvania enroute to Washington DC. This horrific tragedy changed the way we fly. Now all passengers have to go through security systems and scans. Many people look differently at immagrants that are from the Middle East because of this terrible tragedy. Even a new postion was added to the President's cabinet, the Office of Homeland Security.
