 * State-** Connecticut


 * Political Party**- weak democratic.

The congress person I most agree with is Rosa DeLauro. I agree with her most because she made economic improvements, and are economy right now is in not doing to well. She made a middle class tax cut. []


 * National defense**- It is important to find ways to make our state and country safer, and how we can prepare for a unexpected attacks. What defense we would use, and type of weapons. Or if we should get involved in wars going on around the world. Also help find new ways to protect homes and allow more privacy.


 * Economy**- Gas payments have been rising, taxes have been to, houses havent been selling. Are economy is getting worse, and it is very important that we make it better. I think that by lowering taxes and lowering gas the ecnonmy would improve greatly. Try to find new ways to make election and choosing the president more carefully.


 * Gun control**- I think if we were more careful of who we let purchase guns, and what there reasoning is for. I also think it would help bring down the percentage in crimes and murders. We need to be more aware of gun smuggling, and find a way to prevent it. This is very dangerous and its how most terroists and dictators get their guns and weapons.


 * 5 Facts**-
 * 1.** The state government started a reforestation project. It has achieved more than 50% reduction to pollution in only a few years.
 * 2.**Has the second-most million dollar homes in the country. Has a highest per capita income in the U.S.
 * 3.**Eggs, Apples, dairy products, cattles, and nursery stock is produced in Connecticut.
 * 4.**Has a population of more than 3.5 million. State ranks the 29th nation wide.
 * 5.**The Senate has 36 members, and the House has 151 members.

The purpose of our bill is to help with the national defense and it also helps the ecnomy to. The purpose of the bill is that we shouldnt get involoved in other countries problem that doesnt effect us in anyway. Only we get invovled if the problem is involoving us. I think this is a great idea because we can save lives, money and supplies.
 * Bill**- HB 32
