Nancy Pelosi from California believes in many of the same issues that I do. Some of these issues we both agree on are the importance of education to all students in any area. This is one of the issues she believes most strongly about, and like she quoted, "Education is the cornerstone to building America’s future." Some other issues she believes in is rebuilding our economy and getting Americans jobs back. "It is time to rebuild our economy in a way that's consistent with our values – an economy that rewards hard work and responsibility," Pelosi said. She is not the average person that wants a raised economy for the priveliged, but for every single American, and I agree with this to strengthen our economy for generations to come. Another issue she is committed to fixing is the environment. This would be an issue i feel the most strongly about fixing, and Nancy feels the same way. Animals and our Earth's cleanliness our at stake from the actions we take day to day, and she is working to counter act this problem. Pelosi is pushing for the legislation to invest in energy sources that use clean, renewable materials, and with this also helping out struggling American's energy bills. In doing all of this and more to save our environment, Nancy says we can, "Transition America to a new, more affordable energy future." __**President in 2012:**__ Mitt Romney In the little I know about politics, I believe that we need change than what we have now. Mitt Romney makes many claims, and will hopefully come through with these plans, that are vital in improving our economy, which is my biggest concern, along with jobs. His plan is to rebuild free enterprise, hard work, and innovation in our country. Also, he wants to reduce taxes and spending, and increase trade and energy production. One thing that is going on right now with Obama is spending, spending, and more spending. If this continues on, our national debt with keep growing and growing and get out of control. One of Romney's promises is to reduce spending, and to also deduct people in out federal government to make it smaller. The biggest idea Romney has that I agree with is that he wants to put the power back into the peoples hands, just as our Constitution says it should be. These, and many more, are the reasons I would vote for Mitt Romney for president.

Our bill’s purpose is to allow eligible Americans to obtain and carry guns in their houses in order to protect themselves in emergency situations. If someone were to break in and threaten you or someone you know in an unlawful manner, you should be allowed to use a gun as self defense or to defend others. In order to be eligible to own a gun in your household, you need to have a background check, training on use of a gun, and a gun safety test. You also must have a child lock or some sort of secret, protected, and locked area to store it away from all people. Consequences of misusing a gun include possible death penalty or life time sentence in jail with mental treatment. If the person uses the gun for violence in an unnecessary situation, then all rights to use a gun in that household are taken away. These are reasons why guns should be legal to be used in the United States. With strict consequences and long time consuming tests and background checks, guns in the United States could be a safe and helpful thing. People should vote for this bill because it ensures safety in households against any burglars or threats to you. It also takes the necessary steps in a reasonable way to own a gun, making sure that the gun does not fall into ownership of the wrong person. It is also allows people to protect themselves in the appropriate situations. By voting and passing this bill, we will now be using guns for self defense and safety instead of guns in the hands of gangs and other threats.

1. The Environment 2. Education 3. Economy and Jobs __**Paragraph on Issues that are Most Important Today & Where I Stand With Them:**__ ====There are many issues in our world today. The well-being of our environment is a huge issue. With all of our new technology that everyone may think benefits us, there comes a huge cost with it. Cars, factories, and using energy at home all pollutes our evnvironment. It could be as simple as throwing your garbage out on the street to harm wildlife and add to pollution. A lot of the pollution we create can be preventable, too, so we need someone to step up and make sure theres consequences to over use on things we can stop. Creating more machines using renewable resources and taking advantage of the endless amount of these resources like water, wind, and more to power all our electricity. This way we can reduce our use of the nonrenewable resorces that with soon be gone in the future, and we'll have cleaner resources to replace these all together.==== ====Another issue is the economy and American jobs. So many of our jobs our getting sent out of the counrty since it's cheaper, but where does that leave American's? It leaves them jobless, broke, and that affects their family as well. We need to bring American jobs back home and start getting our nation back on its feet. Our economy is effected by this too. Now a days, we need to watch what we spend, since we don't know what will happen tomorrow. By creating a stable economy we can turn around our lives and stop heading for past events like the Great Depression. All of our issues today have a chain effect on eachother, so by getting our jobs back and creating new ones, the well being of the people of the United States will be all around better.==== ====Also, another issue is education. Some kid's families can't afford school, so they can't get the proper education. Immigrants are getting shunned as well in getting an education. We need to stop this by giving every kid an education. This will eventually lead into the kid's as adults have better businesses. One thing builds onto the next, so as long as the get a proper education at a young age, it brightens their future, which leads to more businesses, and more jobs, and an overall improvement in our economy. Like Obama said, we need to have a law that keeps kids in school until their high school graduation, except we need someone to enforce this, not just say it. We don't need a president that is all talk anymore, we need one to take action, and by doing this getting the next generation of kids a well taught education that will do them well in the future. Encouraging them to go to school has proven itself to only lead to high school drop outs and kids that don't care, but by a law enforced in order for them to graduate will lead them into caring enough to pass and there by getting a good education.====
