 * Enviroment and Energy-** I believe that we need to improve the current state of our enviroment and try to use more alternate energy sources. We only have one planet, and its only going to last so long. We need to try to help to preserve it for as long as we can. Also, I believe that we are too dependent on oil, coal, and other fossil fuels. These fossil fuels are running out quickly, and once they're gone, we won't be able to replace them. We need to start using renewable energy resources such as, solar, wind, and hydro energy.======

 * Education-** Education is very important for our counrty. We need to teach young adults and children as much as possible, so that they can be very sucessful in their lives. Children need to be taught about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and nutrition. We need to make sure that they will lead a happy and healthy life style, for they will be our future.======

=

 * Healthcare-** I think that Healthcare is currently a major issue. Many people can not afford health insurance and/or healthcare. Everyone in our country deserves to live a long, healthy life. With all the new diseases being discoverd, we need to make sure that we will be able to find a cure.======

 * Bill-** HB 19 Our bill is for repealing the Death Tax. It taxes 45% on inheritance money. We believe that this is unconstitutional and people should be able to receive their full inheritance money.======
