The Ohio Congressmen I most agree with is [|Senator Sherrod Brown]

Here are some key issues that I strongly believe in:

//__**Enviroment**__//- We have been on planet Earth for centuries and it has provided us with everything we need. Trees to build homes. Animals for clothing and food. Plants for additional food. Yet now America and the rest of the World is need of Oil, which they have taken from Earth. This Oil is not a great thing to have. For one it weakens our very planet that gave us the oil. The atmosphere that protects us is getting thinner and thinner by the year and it will only be a matter of time until it will be gone. So i suggest we slowly stop using Oil and other fossil fuels as a fuel resource and invest in other fuel sources that do not emit such dangerous gases that weaken the atmosphere, such as biodegradable fuel.


 * //__Civil Rights__//**- I was taught by my parents and teachers that everyone is equal, no matter the sex, color, race, age, or wealth of that person. Everyone living and born deserves every right any other person has. Are we not all related in some distant family tree? I believe we are and so with that I must say that America should start treating everyone fairly in everyway. No segregated communities and no false acusations based on a persons ethnicity. Hopefully this dream will catch on to the rest of the world and we all can live a much more peacefully together as a family. After all, it just takes someone to dream of something to make that something happen and make a difference in the world.


 * //__Social Programs__//**- I have seen some of the "slumps" of Cleveland, Ohio. Quite frankly, I am scared of those places. However, it leaves me wondering how something so rundown could be a thriving community where everyone knew each other. As i wonder, I realise that it was poor choices of state and local government that led to this. So I propose that if someone wants to make a difference in the community, volunteer and help rebuild a "slump" to a community.

I am currently working on HB 64 with my other sponsers, AHayes and MMoravec. Our bill proposes that we start to increase the use of alternative energy resources. For the companies that already use atleast 35% of the energy from their energy resource(s), they will recieve a tax cut of 15%. With this bill, the use of alternative energy resources may start to catch on, and soon maybe the whole world will be using alternative energy resources. So together lets help make a better world for the future and the present.

-Ohio has recently started to harness the power of wind energy (this is projected to power over one million homes in the next decade) -Outdoor air quality has improved since 1970 -Potential threats to Ohio's water (ground and surface) include badly maintained wells -Ohio's bald eagle population has dropped to as low as 4 breeding pairs! -Ohio's extraction of oil and natural gas has increased
