EBLUSO North Carolina Political party: Republican congress person I most agree with [|Patrick T. McHenry] 3 Issues: Economy: We should raise the tax price of cigarettes so that teens can't buy them as much. The extra tax money will go to the people's health care. Also an extra tax on alcohol and chew tobacco.

Health Care: I think it is the governments job to support the people with Health care. I also think it should be affordable for all people. We should provide everybody with limited healthcare.

Environment: I think that we should drill for oil off the coast of Alaska because we need the oil and it will drop the cost of gas prices so people can afford it now. It will help the economy because we won't have to import oil from the Middle East and it will save money for alternaative fuel resources.
