MYATES

MYATES State - Wyoming Political Party - Democratic Congressperson - John Barrasso http://barrasso.senate.gov/ - John agrees with my stand on Environment and Energy. Issues- Environment - I think that we need to start caring more about the environment and less about what kind of cars we drive. We should make a law about what kind of cars people can drive and that they have to be at least a certain part environmentally friendly. Economy - We need to do something about this economy and not just the middle class, they aren't the only people losing their jobs. Education - We should also focus on education because if we aren't educated then who cares about the economy, no one will get jobs anyway because they aren't equipped. Facts- 1. The rain forest used to cover 14% of the Earth's surface and now it only covers about 6%. 2. One and one half acres of rain forest are lost every second. 3.
