MMIMS

MMIMS My name is MMims and I am a Democratic from the state of North Dakota.The congress person from my state I agree with most is, [|Earl Pomeroy]. I agree with him most because like me, he thinks we need to fix the little things first before we go to the big things. Like giving children of the future a better education, and investing in our energy sources. Most of all we agree the most on health care. We both agree that there are way too many choices out there and that many people may be overwhelmed when the first look for health care. Also that medicare is more complitcated then it needs to be these days. Another important thing we agree on is supporting our troops. There are many more issues that we agree on also.

The three most important issues to me are Health and Safety, Enviornment and Energy and Gun Control.
 * North Dakota Facts:**
 * In both 1947 and 1989 Legislation refused to rename the state of North Dakota to just plain Dakota.
 * One of North Dakota's nicknames (The Roughrider State) originated during the 1960's and 70's. It is referred to the U.S calvary that Theodore Roosevelt sent out to fight in the Spanish-American War.
 * North Dakota grows more sunflowers than any other state in America.
 * In 1982 Rutlan hosted one of the greatest celebrations of all time when the town went into the "Guiness Book of World Records." They were placed in for having cooked and eaten the world's largest hamburger. Between 8 and 10 thousand people came to eat the 3,591 pound burger.
 * Milk is the official state beverage.

__**HEALTH AND SAFETY:**__ This is the most important issue to me because of the passing of dangerous foods and drugs being passed and put onto the market. Many medicines on the market right now have been proven to damage the health of Americans, some are even proven to cause death. These facts are also known by the FDA, but they are still passed because of the money that they recieve by passing them. I think that our health should become before money, and that what the FDA is doing should be put to a stop immediately. Ex. Gardasil is a vaccine used to prevent HPV, but it is advertised to prevent cervical cancer. Although the FDA knows this they still have kept it on the market and because of that many of these following health concerns have happened: The only reponse from the FDA is that the patient should go see their doctor if they are having health concerns about the medicine.
 * Foaming at the mouth.
 * Miscarriages.
 * Coma.
 * Paralyzed.
 * Anaphylactic shock.

__**ENVIORNMENT AND ENERGY:**__ I also believe that the enviornment is an important issue. I think this because over the past few years our enviornment has gotten completely out of wack. I believe that sooner or later we are going to run out of the supply of oil we have. Because of this I think that we need to find alternate ways of transportation that uses little or no gas at all. Another reason is because of the polluted air that surrounds us all. A lot of the oil that we do use to operate our machinery gets into the air and pollutes it. Not only does the waste get in the air, it also gets into our bodies of water. This is damaging our see life, and possibly new discoveries that our scientists havent come to find yet.

__**GUN CONTROL:**__ This is the last issue that is most important to me. I think that now a days guns are just a little too easy for kids my age, younger and older to come around. Many people are being robbed at gun point or even killed. I also think that many too weapons are being produced to kill even more people in Iraq. I think that there should be a much more tighter grasp on the gun control laws. I think that backgrounds scans should be recorded and detailed when someone goes to buy a gun, and that gun licenses should be enforced a lot more then they already are. The number of death by guns has increased greatly since 2001.

My bill is on the health and safety of Americans, and it is the following. It will allow no lobbyists, businesses or orginizations to persuade the government by bribary, so their product will be passed by the FDA. This will stop all the foods, and drugs that are unhealthy to be passed just for money. It will also stop many Americans from dying because of the drugs or medications that they use. Lastly it will stop the FDA from profiting from the passing and selling of dangerous foods and drugs. I am sure that this bill will work because it will open many jobs for Americans. __**MY TOP TEN SOURCES:**__ http://www.pomeroy.house.gov/ http://www.50states.com/facts/ndakota.htm
