I am a Democrat, and proud of it!

Issues: Healthcare - I am for expanding healthcare to the uninsured, and providing an affordable alternative medicine branch to it. This would likely be a minimum healthcare requirement instead of universal healthcare, but should help get us on the road to getting all citizens a minimul insurance as well.

Economy - I am for giving tax refunds to middle class citizens, who'll then help to stimulate the economy. These citizens would help stimulate the economy with a portion of these refunds given, which will raise our standard of living. I am against the bailout of "big business" companies that aren't going to get us out of this economic trench. Jobs - I am for giving a portion of the bailout to alternative energy and clinics to create new and, frankly, needed jobs. This not only creates jobs, but creates jobs in a field where we will soon be pioneering more efficient and less polluting sources of natural fuel. I am also for creating more job opportunities in rural areas, not only in Ohio, but all through the nation using the profitable extension of alternative medicine market from our bill's impact (hopefully).

HB 47: The bill we'll be writing has to do with helping those closely related to general research. Essentially, we would use this bill to help companies that research frequently, as well as giving tax breaks to all those closely associated with them, such as: the whole sale providers of raw materials, the customers of these services and products, and the employees that work for the company. This will provide job opportunities for many fields of research throughout the nation, and will help fund much general research for the future without government spending.
