From my state I most agree with Ann Kirkpatrick. Her link is [] The three most important issues to me are immigration, gun control, and health and safety. Immigration, to me, is the most important issue that the United States is dealing with. I find immigration to be the most important issue to me because with the immigration rate so high (meaning, with the number of immigrants so high) the unemployment rate is going way up. Also, there are over 12 million unauthorized immigrants coming into the United States, and about 1.6 million of them live in Texas alone. Gun control is my second most important issue. I find this to be a very important issue because with more control on the guns being authorized and allowed to be held, there would be less gang violence and there would be less shootings in what people call the "ghetto." Health care is also another issue for me. Health care is an issue to me because with out health care, people may not live as long as possible. Also, not all the people could afford a good health care that will help them live a good, healthy life style. Thats why those are my top three issues.

**__My Bill- HB 9__** The bill i am writing regards the issue of gun control. This bill is to reduce the number of firearms in citizens hands. This will decrease the crime rate, and it will give the citizens of the United States more safety and security.
