NBARNOSKI


 * Political Party**-Independent

[]
 * House of Rep. member**- Denny Rehberg

Issues- 1. **Economy**- I believe the economy needs to be helped because this is the worse it's been in years.

2. **National Defense**- The United States Army used to be the most powerful military force in the world. Since the War on Terrorism began, we've made a joke out of our soldiers. The time has come to bring the hammer down and show that we are still a force to be reckoned with.

3. **Criminal Justice**- Many states are aboloshing the death penalty against criminals. States that do this obviously aren't thinking about the families of victims. Just like a grocery store, the citizen is always right.
