 * STATE:** Tennessee
 * PARTY:** Independent
 * HOUSE OF REP. MEMBER:** Zach Wamp [] I picked Zach Wamp because he has the same views in economy as me. We both believe in opening more jobs up for the middle class people. One project he is working on is to build a new building for a growing company. That will open up about 30 great jobs for those in need. He is helping this country one step at a time.

Economy: I feel the economy is an important issue right now because the economy today is effecting almost everyone's lives in the US. With all the people losing jobs and in major dept, I feel it's an important issue to address. Education: The education of today's kids turn into tomorrow's adults who run the world. To educate the kids well now makes the future a better place. Environment: The environtment right now is not doing very well with us littering and destroying the ozone layer. We need to turn that around with alternative energy sources and the three R's to make the world a better palce.
